Chapter 2-3 Flashcards
Glycogen
Form of energy
Glycogenesis
Formation of glycogen from glucose
Glycogenolysis
Breakdown of glycogen to glucose
Saturated fats
Max number of H atoms
Solid at room temp
Unsaturated fats
Not max H atoms
Liquid at room temp
Triglycerides
Broken down by lipolysis
Form fatty acids that are stored in fat cells
Lipolysis
Breakdown of fats and other lipids by hydrolysis
EAA’s
9 total EAA’s
Must be ingested through food
Cannot be synthesized by body
Non EAA’s
Can be synthesized by body
Catabolic
Breaking down of substrate into molecules
Anabolic
Forming of product from molecules
Aerobic
O2 required
Products are ATP+Co2+water
Used at rest during long duration, low intensity activity
Anaerobic
No o2 required
Products are ATP+ co2+lactic acid
Major energy source during high intensity workouts
ATP
Adenosine Triphosphate
Most important energy molecule in cells
Product of Aerobic and Anaerobic metabolism
Glycolosis
Turns glycogen to pyruvic acid.
