Energy systems Flashcards
ATP
adenosine tri-phosphate, needed for muscular contraction, without would be no energy for movement, stored in the muscles, 3 seconds recharged
how it releases energy
ATP releases energy by breaking a bond between phosphates, energy is released when broken
ADP
adenosine di-phosphate, when ATP loses a phosphate
how ATP works like a rechargeable battery
ATP can be resynthesized if a phosphate is added to ADP it forms back into ATP, working like a rechargeable battery
ATP-PC
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
ATP-PC good for which exercise
short high intensity exercise
