Energy systems Flashcards
1
Q
ATP
A
adenosine tri-phosphate, needed for muscular contraction, without would be no energy for movement, stored in the muscles, 3 seconds recharged
2
Q
how it releases energy
A
ATP releases energy by breaking a bond between phosphates, energy is released when broken
3
Q
ADP
A
adenosine di-phosphate, when ATP loses a phosphate
4
Q
how ATP works like a rechargeable battery
A
ATP can be resynthesized if a phosphate is added to ADP it forms back into ATP, working like a rechargeable battery
5
Q
ATP-PC
A
Left ADP, resynthesise ADP to ATP, high energy compounds = creating phosphate, creating phosphate bond broken when split through enzyme called creatine kinase, phosphate rejoins to ADP = ATP, 10 seconds to recover 1:10
6
Q
ATP-PC good for which exercise
A
short high intensity exercise
