Chapter 3 Flashcards
Bioenergetics
define bioenergetics
the biological system of making energy
what is ATP?
a molecule with adenosine and 3 phosphates
what do muscles use ATP for?
cross bridge cycle
breaking a high energy bond results in
ADP, energy, hydrogen ion
true or false: at any given length of performance, one energy system is primarily producing ATP
TRUE
all are always working, but one is the primary source
90-100% max power
less than 10 seconds of work
lots of rest between sets (1:12 to 1:20 work to rest ratio)
phosphate system (PCr)
what happens when you eat a donut?
donut breaks down into glucose
glucose enters the blood stream
blood sugar can be…
stored as fat
stored as glycogen
used for energy
when blood sugar is stored as glycogen, where is it stored?
muscle and liver
when glycolysis is produced in the present of oxygen, what is the end product?
pyruvate
when glycolysis is produced in the absence of oxygen, what is the end product?
lactate
where does the process of glycolysis take place?
OUTSIDE the mitochondria
what process results in ATP?
anaerobic glycolysis
turning glucose to lactate
where does anaerobic glycolysis occur?
in the cytoplasm
what is the end product of the cori cycle?
glucose
