Chapter 2 Slides Flashcards
_______: the breakdown of large molecules into smaller molecules, associated with the release of energy.
Catabolism
______ : the flow of energy in a biological system; the conversion of macronutrients into biologically usable forms of energy.
Bioenergetics
_______: the synthesis of larger molecules from small molecules; can be accomplished using the energy released from catabolic reactions.
Anabolism
______ energy-releasing reactions that are generally catabolic.
Exergonic reactions
______: require energy and include anabolic processes and the contraction of muscle.
Endergonic reactions
______: the total of all the catabolic or Exergonic and anabolic or endergonic reactions in a biological system.
Metabolism
______: allows the transfer of energy from Exergonic to endergonic reactions.
ATP
What are the three basic energy systems that exist in muscle cells to replenish ATP?
- the phosphagen system
- glycolysis
- the oxidative system
Energy stored in the chemical bonds of ______ is used to power muscular activity.
ATP
The replenishment of ATP in human skeletal muscle is accomplished by three basic energy systems: 1) ______, 2) _____, 3) ______.
Phosphagen
Glycolytic
Oxidative
_________ system provides ATP primarily for short-term, high-intensity activities (resistance training, sprinting) and is active at the start of all exercise regardless of intensity.
Phosphagen
________: the concentrations of reactants or products (or both) in solution will drive the direction of the reactions.
Law of mass action
_______: the breakdown of carbohydrates – either glycogen stored in the muscle or glucose delivered in the blood – to resynthesize ATP.
Glycolysis
Lactate can be transported in the blood to the liver, where it is converted to glucose. This process is referred to as the ______.
Cori cycle
_______: the exercise intensity or relative intensity at which blood
lactate begins an abrupt increase above the baseline concentration.
Lactate threshold (LT)
