Chapter 3 Bioenergetics of Exercise and Training Flashcards
What are exergonic reactions?
Energy releasing reactions and are generally catabolic
What are endergonic reactions?
Require energy and include anabolic (build up) and the contraction of muscle
What are the Anaerobic energy processes?
Phosphagen and Glycolytic
What are the 3 Aerobic energy processes?
Krebs Cycle, Electron Transport Chain and Oxidative system
What is the final chemical action during hydrolysis of ADP?
The hydrolysis of ADP breaks the terminal bond, releases energy and leaves AMP, P and H+
The replenishment of ATP in human skeletal muscle is accomplished by three basic energy systems
Phosphagen, glycolytic, and oxidative
T/F Are all three energy systems active during at any given time?
TRUE. All three energy systems are active at any given time; however the magnitude of the contribution of each system to overall work primarily dependent on the intensity of the activity and secondarily on the duration.
What is the chemical process during the phosphagen energy system?
ADP + CP»_space;»>««
The Creatine Kinase Reaction
Provides energy at a high rate; however, because CP is stored in relatively small amounts the phosphagen system cannot be the primary supplier of energy for continuous, long duration activities.
How much ATP can the body store at any given time?
80-100g (about 3 ounces) which does not represent a significant energy reserve for exercise. In addition, ATP stores cannot be completely depleted due to the necessity for basic cellular function.
What enzyme is powerful enough to stimulate Glycolysis?
Adenylate Kinase also called Myokinase
The reactions of the phosphagen system are largely controlled by?
The Law of Mass Action or the Mass Action Effect
The law of mass action states
That the concentrations of reactants or products (or both) in solution will drive the direction of the reactions.
What is Glycolysis?
Glycolysis is the breakdown of carbohydrate (sugar)-either glycogen stored in the muscle or glucose delivered in the blood to resynthesize ATP.
Why does glycolysis produce ATP at a slower rate compared to the phosphagen system?
The process of glycolysis involves multiple enzyme dependent reactions
During Glycolysis the capacity to make is much higher due to ?
A larger supply of glycogen and glucose compared to CP
Where does phosphagen and glycolysis take place?
In the sarcoplasm of the cell
What is the end result of glycolysis
Pyruvate
What are the two directions that pyruvate can proceed
1) Pyruvate can be changed to lactate in the sarcoplasm
2) Pyruvate can be shuttled into the mitochondria
Anaerobic Glycolysis
When Pyruvate is converted to lactate, ATP resynthesis occurs at a faster rate via the rapid regeneration of NAD+, but is limited in duration due to the subsequent H+ production and resulting decreases in pH
Aerobic/ Slow Glycolysis
The ATP resynthesis rate is slower because of the numerous reactions, but can occur for a longer duration if the exercise intensity is low enough.
The fate of pyruvate is ultimately controlled by
the energy demands within the cell.
The formation of lactate from pyruvate is catalyzed by the enzyme _______ ________
Lactate Dehydrogenase
Proton H+
accumulation during fatigue reduces the intracellular pH, inhibits glycolytic reactions and directly interferes with muscle excitation -contraction coupling-possibly by inhibiting calcium binding to troponin
Metabolic Acidosis
The process of an exercise induced decrease in pH
Why doesn’t lactate cause Metabolic Acidosis
Lactate is utilized as an energy substrate, specifically in type 1 and cardiac fibers. It is also used during the formation of glucose from non carbohydrate sources during extended exercise and recovery. The process is called Glyconeogenesis
Cori Cycle
Lactate can be cleared by oxidation with the muscle fibers in which it was produced, or it can be transported in the muscle fibers to be oxidized. Lactate can also be transported in the blood to the liver, where it is converted to glucose.
Blood Lactate Concentration Levels
Return back to normal, pre-exercise values within an hour after activity, depending on the duration and intensity of exercise, training status, and type of recovery.

Two primary mechanisms for resynthesizing ATP during Metabolism
1) Substrate-level phosphorylation
2) Oxidative phosphorylation
Phosphorylation is the process of adding an ___________ ___________ to another molecule
Inorganic Phosphate
Oxidative Phosphorylation
refers to the resynthesis of ATP in the Electron Transport Chain
Substrate Level Phosphorylation
refers to the direct resynthesis of ATP from ADP during a single reaction in the metabolic pathways.
Step 1 for substrate level phosphorylation
