Chapter 4 Flashcards
This is the process where energy is made available. It is the accumulation of chemical and physical processes by which its material substance is created, destroyed and maintained.
Metabolism
This is the study of how energy transforms within living systems.
Bioenergetics
This is the total of all the bodily processes from the stress that exercise produces.
Exercise metabolism
The substance that is acted on by an enzyme.
Substrates
An organic compound that is the primary supporting tissue for plants.
Carbohydrates
This is a sugar that can come in many different forms. It occurs primarily in tissues, fluids, and fruits.
Glucose
This is a polysaccharide that is tasteless and white and is the primary carbohydrate storage in mammals
Glycogen
This is a type of organic compound that is insoluble in water but soluble in alcohol and ether.
Fat
These are three fatty acids that connect to a glycerol. This makes up most of the fat storage in the human body.
Triglycerides
Multiple linked amino acids (20+) in a linear sequence that form one or more polypeptide chain.
Protein
When glucose is formed from a non-carbohydrate such as fats or protein. This pathway produces the most ATP.
Gluconeogenesis
The transfer and energy storage unit inside of the cells of the body.
Adenosine Triphosphate
This is a compound of high energy from which ATP is formed.
Adenosine Diphosphate
This is the first process that breaks down fatty acids. It includes the oxidation of beta carbons and removing to fragments of carbon from the fatty acid.
Beta (B) -Oxidation
Metabolism will elevate after higher intensity exercises. The reason that you see high-intensity interval training as a successful method for shedding fat. High-intensity work will increase EPOC.
EPOC (Excess Post-exercise oxygen consumption)
