Energy Systems (1.2) Flashcards
ATP
adenosine triphosphate
energy currency
in every living tissue
2 seconds stored during vigorous exercise
exothermic reaction
reaction that releases heat
ATP –> ADP + P + Energy
breaks down ATP
endothermic reaction
reaction that requires energy
ADP + P + Energy –> ATP
Creates ATP
resynthesis of ATP
endothermic
ATP/PC system
Lactic acid system
Aerobic system
ATP/PC system process
energy + P + ADP –> ATP
PC –> P + C + energy (creatine kinase)
ADP + P + C –> ATP + C
ATP/PC system extra info
3-10 seconds high intensity e.g 100m sprint or vault in gymnastics muscle sarcoplasm coupled reaction
ATP/PC system positives (3)
produces 1 ATP
fast
only 2 reactions
ATP/PC system negatives (2)
produces 1 ATP
doesn’t last long
Lactic acid system process
.Glycogen - glucose GPP (glycogen phosphorylase) .Glucose - pyruvic acid PFK (phosphofructokinase) 2 ATP Pyruvic acid - lactic acid LDH (lactate dehydrogenase)
Lactic acid system extra info
11-180 seconds
High intensity
e.g 400m-800m runner
muscle sarcoplasm
lactic acid system positives (2)
produces 2 ATP
lasts quite long
lactic acid system negatives (2)
quite long process
harmful bi products
glycolysis
the breakdown of glycogen
Aerobic system process stages
glycolysis
Kreb’s cycle
electron transfer chain
aerobic system glycolysis process
.muscle sarcoplasm .glycogen - glucose GPP (glycogen phosphorylase) .glucose - pyruvic acid PFK (phosphofructokinase) 2ATP .pyruvic acid - Kreb's cycle
