Energy System Flashcards
What is the energy currency of the body
ATP
What does aerobic mean
Oxygen is present
What is creatine phosphate
Creatine phosphate system combines ADP with creatine phosphate to produce ATP which creates energy over a very short period of time 0-10 seconds
Which energy system can produce energy for long durations
Aerobic system
Which energy system would be maximally used for a 100m sprint
CP system
What energy system would be used predominantly during a 400m sprint
Lactate system
What are the bi products of the aerobic energy system
Carbon dioxide, water and ATP
What would be experienced when lactic acid levels rise in the muscle
Burn in the muscle
How is carbon dioxide removed from the body
Through the lungs
Which energy system uses glycogen and fats to produce ATP
Aerobic
Which energy system uses glycogen without oxygen to produce ATP
Lactate
What is H2O
Water
What is the Chemical symbol of oxygen
O
What is the chemical system for Carbon dioxide
CO2
Describe how fats, carbohydrates and proteins are used in the production of energy/ adenosine triphosphate
Fats (Fatty acids) and Carbohydrates (Glucose) are the main macronutrients that supply the body with ATP during aerobic metabolism.
