Energy Systems Flashcards
1
Q
ATP
A
Adenosine Triphosphate
Provides energy for muscle contractions
2
Q
ADP
A
Adenosine Diphosphate
Doesn’t provide energy
3
Q
ATP-PC system
A
- Used for explosive movements
- Stored in the muscles
- Lasts 6-10 seconds
- 2-3 minutes to recover
4
Q
How many molecules of ATP are produced in total using the lactate system
A
4
5
Q
The 2 byproducts of anaerobic glycolysis
A
Pyruvate acid and hydrogen ions—> 4 ATP molecules for energy
-Hydrogen ions and Pyruvate are produced as byproducts which combine to create lactic acid
6
Q
Anaerobic glycolysis
A
Glucose broken down using 2 ATP molecules
7
Q
Resynthesis
A
The process by which ADP+P is joined together to recreate ATP
