Q

Why study bioenergetics?

A

the ability to do work dependson the ability to convert energy from one form (carb/fat) to another (ATP) and finally do work

49
Q

True or false: energy is created.

A

False
It is converted from one form to another

50
Q

Are energy conversions 100% efficient?

A

No, significant energy lost as heat

51
Q

A

energy is transferred, not created or destroyed

52
Q

A

free energy (energy in an organized state)

54
Q

The change in energy (enthalpy) in an exergonic reaction has two components…

A

Free energy (useful)
Entropy (useless)

55
Q

Endergonic reactions

A

require input of energy
products contain more free energy than reactants

56
Q

Exergonic reactions

A

release energy
products contain less free energy than reactants

57
Q

Coupled reactions

A

cells require constant inputs of free energy from environment to buck entropy and remain highly organized (endergonic and exergonic reactions work together)

75
Q

What limits exercise performance if you are asked to run faster and faster on a treadmill? Which systems are used?

slower than carbs
only aerobic
more O2 is necessary

88
Q

Why if caffeine a good ergogenic aid?

A

Cyclists use is during race to delay the full use of their glycogen stores because caffeine stimulates lipolysis

89
