Chapter 7 Flashcards
What are the 3 types of macronutrients
Carbs, Protein and Fats
What is the macronutrient that is the main energy supplier
Carbs
What is Carbs Monomer
Glucose (Stored as Glycogen)
What is proteins Monomer
Amino Acid
What is Fats Monomer
Fatty Acids (Stored as triglycerides)
Define an Anaerobic System
A system that doesn’t need oxygen to function
Define an Aerobic System
A system that needs oxygen to function
What is ATP
A Common energy molecule
How can ATP be restored
The 3 metabolic pathways
What are the 3 metabolic pathways
ATP-PC, Glycolysis and Cellular Respiration
What is the Anaerobic Alactic System commonly known as
ATP-PC System
What is the Anaerobic Lactic System commonly known as
Glycolysis system
What is the Aerobic System commonly known as
Cellular Respiration
How does the ATP-PC System work
Phosphocreatine bonds with ADP to create 1 ATP molecule
How long does ATP last for in the ATP-PC system
10 - 15 seconds
What sports is the ATP-PC system best for
100m sprints, Long jump, Weight lifting
How does the glycolysis system work
Glycolysis can be broken down into ATP molecules creating pyruvate
What happens when you have sufficient oxygen in the glycolysis system
pyruvate is the byproduct and continues to the cellular respiration system
What happens when there is no oxygen available in the glycolysis system
Pyruvate turns into pyruvic acid and then turns into lactate
How is Lactate formed
Pyruvate bonds with 2 H+ ions released during ATP breakdown and muscles become more acidic and fatigued
How long does ATP last when using the Glycolysis system
90 seconds - 2 minutes
