Energy Systems Flashcards
What does the ATP/PC system consist of
PC —> P + C + energy
Energy + ADP + P —-> ATP
How long does the ATP created by the ATP/PC System last
Up to 10s
What enzyme is used in the ATP/PC system
Creatine kinase
What type of activity is the ATP/PC used for
High intensity, short duration
What does the lactic acid system formula
Glucose —–> 2ATP + Pyrivic acid
Why does Pyruvic acid turn into lactic acid
Due to the lack of 02
What enzyme breaks down glucose to ATP
Glycogen Phosphorylase (GPP)
What type of activity is the Lactic acid energy system suited for
Prolonged high intensity (eg 200m)
How long does the ATP created by the lactic acid energy system last
Up to 2minutes
What are the three stages of the Aerobic energy system
Glycosis
Kreb Cycle
Electron transport
Describe glycosis
Glucose broken down into pyruvic acid
Takes place in sarcoplasm
Describe the Krebs cycle
chemical reactions that take place using oxygen in the matrix of the mitochondrion
Describe the electron transport phase
series of chemical reactions in the mitochondria where hydrogen is oxidised to water and 34 ATP are produced
What is the formula for the breakdown of ATP
ATP —-> ADP + P + energy
What enzyme is used to break down ATP
ATPase
