Chapter 3 Flashcards
metabolic specificity
exercise modes that can “select” energy systems/metabolic pathways
bioenergetics
the understanding of macronutrient conversion into biologically usable energy
catabolism
the breakdown of large molecules to small molecules
associated with the release of energy
anabolism
synthesis of larger molecules from smaller ones
accomplished using energy released from catabolic reactions
exergonic reaction
energy releasing reaction
generally catabolic
endergonic reaction
definition, example
require energy input
usually anabolic process
ex: contraction of muscle
metabolism
the total of all exergonic and endergonic reactions in a biological system
adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
intermediate that allows the transfer of energy from exergonic to endergonic reactions
it is necessary for muscular activity and muscular growth
hydrolysis
water molecule breaking down another molecule to yield energy
adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase)
enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP
myosin ATPase
catalyzes hydrolysis of ATP for crossbridge recycling
calcium ATPase
catalyzes hydrolysis of ATP to pump calcium into the sarcoplasmic reticulum from vescicles
sodium-potassium ATPase
maintains sarcolemmal concentration gradient after depolarization
ATP hydrolysis formula with ATPase
ATP + H2O ADP + Pi + H+ + Energy
adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
product of ATP hydrolysis.
only has 2 phosphate groups
inorganic phosphate (Pi)
a byproduct of ATP hydrolysis
adenosine monophosphate (AMP)
product of ADP hydrolysis
anaerobic process
doesn’t require the presence of oxygen
aerobic process
requires oxygen
phosphagen system (characteristics)
- anaerobic system
- relies on ATP hydrolysis and creatine phosphate breakdown
glycogen system
aerobic? anaerobic? substrate?
- anaerobic system
- uses glucose as substrate
Krebs cycle
substrate? what system? how many ATP?
- aerobic mechanism
- oxidizes Acetyl-CoA (from pyruvate)
- part of the oxidative system
- produces 30 ATP
Oxidative system
when is it used, substrates
- source for ATP at rest and low intensity activities
- uses carbs (30%) and fats (70%) as substrates
mitochondria
the site where aerobic energy processes occur
ATP synthesis from CP (formula)
ADP + CP –> ATP + Creatine
creatine phosphate (CP)
aka
phosphocreatine (PCr)
molecule that replenishes ATP by supplying ADP with a phosphate group
ATP stores
storage, max reduction
- 80g - 100g in storage
- max decrease of 50% - 60%
adenylate kinase reaction
aka
myokinase reaction
(formula, definition, purpose)
single enzyme reaction in phosphagen system that helps replenish ATP
2ADP -> ATP + AMP
glycolysis
characteristics
the breakdown of carbohydrates to resynthesize ATP
- it is a multi reaction process
- not as rapid as phosphagen system
- higher ATP capacity than phosphagen system
