Chapter 2 Flashcards
The energy we derive from food is stored in cells in the form of what
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Nutrients from good are the substrates for metabolism and are provided and stored as what
Carbohydrates
Fats
Proteins
What serves as the immediate source of energy for most body functions including muscle contraction
ATP
During intense short duration muscular effort, the body relies mostly on what to generate ATP
Carbs
Longer, less intense exercise utilizes what to sustain energy production
Carbs and fat
All dietary carbohydrate is ultimately converted to what
Glucose
Glucose is taken up by muscle and liver and converted and stored as the complex sugar molecule called
Glycogen
Glycogen is converted back to glucose as needed and transported by the blood to the muscle to form
ATP
Fat provides substantial energy during prolonged, _____ ________ activity
Low intensity
Fat is stored as _______ and must be broken down to ______ to be used in metabolism
Triglycerides
Free fatty acids
More energy is derived from breaking down _____ compared to ______
Fat
Carbs
What can be used as a minor source of energy
Protein
Proteins can generate FFAs during starvation through what
Lipogenesis
Protein only supplies what percent of our energy during prolonged exercise
5-10%
Proteins must be broken down to their basic units—-________ to be used for energy
Amino acids
ATP is generated through what three energy systems
ATP-PCr system
Glycolytic system
Oxidative system
The release of ATP and PCr is facilitated by the enzyme _________
Creatine kinase
Does the ATP-PCr system require oxygen
No
ATP and PCr sustain the muscles energy needs for. How many seconds during an all out sprint
