energy for exercise Flashcards
What is Atp?
Made up of one adenosine molecule and 3 phosphate groups held together by bonds of chemical energy. only immediately usefu form of energy stored in our bodies- readily available as its stored in the muscle cell
What is at pase?
Breaks down the bond between the last 2 phosphate groups which releases energy that us used to make the muscle cell contract and the movement
What is a coupled reaction?
Where products of one reaction are used in another, it can be broken down then resyentheised
Body can only store a small amount of tap (85g) lasting 2 seconds, to maintain exercise beyond 2 seconds atp is restored.
How does atp resynetheiss happen?
3 energy systems atp/pc, glycolytic or aerobic
Energy systems don’t work severalty
What type of reaction is atp/pc?
Anaerobic reaction
What chemical/food is used for atp?
phosphocreatine
Where does atp site of reaction?
Sarcoplasm
What are the controlling enzymes for atp/pc?
Creatine kinase
What is the energy yield for atp?
1 mole of atp
What is the energy equation for atp?
Pc- p+c+ energy
(exothermic)
Energy+ adp+ p- Atp (endothermic)
What is the intensity like for atp?
Very high
How long is the duration for atp?
2-10 seconds
What are the strengths of atp/pc?
No delay for 02 Pc readily available in muscle cell simple and rapid breakdown Provides energy quicklu No faitguing- by products
What are the weakness fo atp/Pc?
Low atp yield and small pc stores lead to rapid fatigue after 8-10 seconds
What type of reaction is the glycolytic system?
Anaerobic
What is the chemical food used for glycolytic system?
Glycogen
Where is the glycolytic system site?
Sarcoplasm
What are the controlling enzymes for glycolytic system?
Glycogen
Phosphorylase
phosphofructokinase
lactate degydrogenase
