Energy Systems Flashcards
First Law of Thermodynamics
Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but transferred
Second Law of Thermodynamics
Law Of Entropy- tendency for potential energy to degrade over time to kinetic energy or heat
Mechanical Work
Muscle contraction
Heart contraction
Chemical Work
Creates new molecules (anabolism)- requires energy Degrades molecules (catabolism)- releases energy
Transport Work
Moves needed nutrients or molecules across the system
Passive transport- diffusion- needs no additional energy
Active transport- requires energy
Enzymes and Coenzymes
Proteins that speed up reactions
Reactions can take place without enzymes are slower and inefficient
Enzymes are recycled
Enzymes can be rate limiting
Lock and key
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
Serves as a source to power work in the electron transport chain and Kreb Cycle
Body is not efficient and most energy is released as ______
Heat
True or false: oxygen is required to release energy from ATP
False
ATP–>
ADP + Pi
Pi= phosphate- inorganic
A molecule is _____ when it donates electrons
Oxidized
A molecule is _____ when it accepts electrons
Reduced
Three components of aerobic metabolism
- Oxidative phosphorylation
- citric Acid Cycle
- Electron transport
Aerobic System
-utilized when exercise duration is >3-4 minutes
-oxygen take increases rapidly during first three minutes of exercise
->4-5 minutes, steady state reached
Lactate produced=lactate metabolism
Lactate is always being formed by _______
Red blood cells
