CHPT 8 Flashcards
The energy molecule used to do cellular work is called __________,
and it is made from food substrates consumed in the diet
adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
The fuels used to create ATP are
glucose from carbohydrates, free fatty acids from fat, amino acids from protein, and ketone bodies.
__________ are the by-products of the breakdown of stored or consumed fats. They are oxidized exclusively via the aerobic pathway, which uses oxygen to create ATP
Free fatty acids
Amino acids can be metabolized via
oxidative phosphorylation
______ are produced by the liver during periods of low energy intake or low
carbohydrate availability
Ketone bodies
Exercise is categorized by two factors:
intensity and duration
________ is an anaerobic process and generates ATP quickly, but not a tremendous
amount
Glycolysis
_______ is a process that uses oxygen to create ATP from substrate
molecules at a relatively slow rate.
Oxidative phosphorylation
______ is defined as a situation in which a person engages in the same
level of activity, without increases or decreases in intensity, for several minutes
Steady-state exercise
___________ is defined as frequent changes in the work requirement (intensity) during an activity
Intermittent exercise
_______ use a higher percentage of fat as a fuel but generally do not burn a lot of calories unless performed for a very long me
Lower-intensity activities
______________ have a higher percentage of energy coming from carbohydrate and usually burn more total calories in a given time
Higher-intensity activities
the total number of calories
that a person burns in a day is called
the total daily energy expenditure (TDEE)
___________ is the minimum number of calories needed at rest to keep a person alive and meet all functional needs of the body.
The resting metabolic rate (RMR)
________ is the number of calories that are used to digest a meal
The thermic effect of food (TEF)
