Energy System Flashcards
What does ATP stand for
Adenosine Triphisphate
Describe the structure of ATP
1 adenosine molecule
3 phosphate molecules
Name the enzyme that breaks the bond of ATP to release energy
ATPase
Describe what remains once an ATP bond has been broken and energy released
ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and an inorganic phosphate (Pi)
What keyword is used to describe ADP and an inorganic phosphate combining to form ATP
Resynthesis
Name the four main fuels for ATP resynthesis
Glycogen
State the three energy systems
The aerobic oxidative system, anaerobic glycolytic (lactic acid) and ATP-PC
What system is used when intensity is low and duration long
Aerobic oxidative system
Name the three stages of the aerobic oxidative system
Glycolysis, The Kreb Cycle and The Electron Transport Chain
Where does glycolysis within the aerobic oxidative system take place
The sarcoplasm
How many ATP are produced within glycolysis of the aerobic oxidative system
2ATP
Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose in to what acid
Pyruvic acid
During glycolysis within the aerobic oxidative system, oxygen is present so pyruvic acid is converted into what
Acetyl Coenzyme A
