Energy Transfer part 2 Flashcards
What are the 3 energy systems that act as a continuum?
Short term(ATP-PCr) long term (Aerobic Glycolysis) intermediate (Anaerobic Glycolysis)
How is energy provided in the short term energy system?
from high E phosphates from ATP and CP
ATP and CP are stored in
contractile mechanisms of muscle (myofibril)
Short term energy system allows for
all out work for 10 seconds (anaerobic)
High power/ low capacity
How is short term energy altered?
with training. increase mass = increased storage capacity
Energy system for work lasting 30-180 seconds?/
anaerobic glycolysis
The lactic acid system (anaerobic glycolysis) provides energy for
muscle endurance and high intensity work/
What happens in anaerobic glycolysis?
glucose broken down. LA is end product causing burn due to decrease in pH of muscle.
in anaerobic glycolysis, where does the E to phosphorylate ADP come from?
blood glucose and stored glycogen.
Why can’t the body function on the lactic acid system for long?
enzymes and contractile mechanisms of muscle do not function with increased acidity.
Where does anaerobic glycolysis occur and whats sequence?
cytoplasm
Glycogen->glucose->LA= 2 ATP
sequence for aerobic system? when is it used?
Glycogen->glucose->pyruvate->Acetyl-CoA->Krebs cycle->ETS-H20 and CO2= 36 ATP
exercise over 3 mins
What must be present for the Krebs cycle?
O2
Steady state reflects balance between
E required and ATP production via aerobic metabolism.
What are the stages of fuel utilization?
1) Digestion/absorbtion
2) Degrading of subunits into acetyl CoA
3) Oxidation of Acetyl CoA -> CO2 and H2O with ATP production
Where does degrading stage occur?
Oxidation stage?
cytosol
Mitochondria
What are the subunits broken down in fuel utilization?
aa, glucose, FFA , glycerol units.
What are the 3 substrates?
Carbs
Fats
Protein
What substrates primary function is to supply E for cellular work?
what can It’s stored energy be used to generate?
Carbs
ATP anaerobically
What is required so that fat can be processed through the metabolic mill?
a continual breakdown of Carbs
What will glucose be broken down into?
what happens if there is O2 present? and if not?
Pyruvic Acid
Converted to Acetyl CoA and enters Krebs Cycle
LA forms
Rate of energy released in glycolysis is ____ than rate of E released from lipid breakdown.
3x faster.
How much fat is stored compared to carbs?
60-100,000 KCals in adipose tissue Vs. 2000KCals of Carbs
What is the storage form of Fat?
and what are they broken down into?
triglycerides.
glycerol and 3 Free Fatty Acids
