Energy Sources Flashcards
Energy
Capacity to do work (FxD)
Kilo Calorie
Heat necessary to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water 1 degree Celsius
Six categories of nutrients
Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water
Vitamins
Micronutrient - Organic and can be broken down by heat, air, or acid
Minerals
Micronutrient - Inorganic and hold on to their chemical structure
Strong Bones
Combination of calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K, magnesium, and phosphorus
Prevents birth defects
Take folic acid supplement early in pregnancy. Prevents brain/SC defect in offspring
Protect teeth
Fluoride
Forms of energy
- Chemical
- Electrical
- Heat
- Mechanical
Plants convert sunlight to what
Carbohydrates
Rapid, readily available source of energy
Carbohydrates
3 forms of carbohydrates
- monosaccharides
- Disaccharides
- Polysaccharides
Monosaccharides
glucose, fructose, galactose
Disaccharides
maltose, sucrose
Polysaccharides
starch, cellulose, glycogen
Glycogenesis
Formation of glycogen from glucose
Glycogenolysis
breaking down of glycogen into glucose
what is the most useful simple carbohydrate
glucose
Where are simple carbohydrates found?
Foods that are refined and packaged, such as sugar, honey, milk, and fruit juices (quick energy)
Daily percent of calories from fat
20
Daily percent of calories from carbs
50
daily percent of calories from proteins
30
Kcal from carbs, fat, proteins
4 kcal/g
9 kcal/g
4 kcal/g
Do you produce lactic acid during ATP-PC system utilization?
No. because you are not using glucose at all
Plants convert sunlight to what?
Carbohydrates
Glucose is stored as what for later use?
Glycogen
Can tissues use glycogen
No must be broken down to glucose so the blood can carry it to tissues.
Atoms in carbohydrates
C, H, O
Most useful and simple carbohydrate
Glucose
Approx how much liver glycogen
100 grams
Approx how much muscle glycogen
400 grams
Long distance runners can store more of which type of glycogen
May store up to 700-800 grams of muscle glycogen
Sprint of 100 m shetty vs. bolt. Using the same energy system?
No. Shetty is using ATP-PC (anaerobic) Bolt is using aerobic
What source of energy is used in high intensity activities?
Carbohydrates/glucose
If you eat extra fat how is it stored
Stored as triglycerides
Chemical Structure of glucose
C6 H12 O6
Chemical structure of fat
C16 H32 O2
Energy consumption at rest (fat vs carbs
2/3 from fat
1/3 from carbs
saturated fat comes from where?
animal sources
unsaturated fat comes from where?
plant sources
Palmitic acid is an example of what type of energy source?
fat
Role of lipids in the body
- Energy source and reserve
- Protection of vital organs
- Thermal insulation
- Vitamin carrier
How many essential AA
- Must be ingested by food. Cant be synthesized
How many unessential AA
- Can be synthesized in the body
catabolic reaction
break down substrate into molecules
Anabolic reaction
forming a product from molecules
Can energy liberated through breakdown of food be used directly for work?
No. must go through ATP
Where does energy for muscular contraction come from
Breakdown of ATP
Where is ATP located to make muscle contraction
Located in cross bridges of muscle. Move muscle contraction when broken down
What is an immediate substrate that helps put ATP together
CP. Enzyme that combines with energy
ATP-PC do you deposit lactic acid?
No because you are not depositing glucose
What system is being used when you deposit lactic acid
Anaerobic glycolysis
Products of aerobic metabolism
CO2 and H2O
When is aerobic metabolism used?
rest, long duration exercise, low intensity activity
Products of anaerobic metabolism
CO2, energy, and lactic acid
What does lactic acid cause
decreases production of useful energy, diminishing intensity or speed of activity
Major energy source used during high intensity short duration activities
anaerobic metabolism. Lifting/sprinting
Energy source used in anaerobic metabolism
carbohydrates
Amount of energy produced by ATP-PC
7-12 kcal. lasts about 2-3 seconds
does sprinter or long distance runner replenish ATP faster?
sprinter
How to increase ATP-PC concentrations
short duration, high intensity activities
Once activity ceases what happens to ATP
hydrolysed to rebuild muscle stores
Approx amount of blood glucose
20 grams
What is the rate limiting enzyme in anaerobic metabolism
PFK
How many ATP produced with anaerobic glycolysis
2-3 ATP
PFK glucose converts to what in anaerobic glycolysis
pyruvic acid - then goes to lactic acid
Where does the krebs cycle take place
mitochondria
Substrates in aerobic metabolism
fat, carbs, protein
substrates in anaerobic metabolism
carbohydrates
where does anaerobic glycolysis take place?
cytoplasm (intracellular fluid)
Function of NAD and FAD
Electron carriers in the krebs cycle
