Q

Energy is provided by the breakdown of ________ into ______ & a free phosphate ion. This reaction releases a large amount of energy (heat)

A

Adenosine-tri-phosphate (ATP) into Adenosine-di-phosphate (ADP)

45
Q

The movement of a muscle is the result of the continuous breakdown & reconstruction of ____

46
Q

Muscles use 2 general metabolic methods to provide ATP one works _______ and the other works _______

A

Aerobically and the other works anaerobically

47
Q
  • Takes place in the mitochondria

- More efficient way to produce ATP in a muscle fiber

A

Aerobic Pathway

48
Q
  • The pathway creates more energy than is needed for the production of ATP & excess energy is released as heat & contribute to keeping the body at its most efficient temp

A

Aerobic pathway

Q

Exercise from a metabolic point of view: Phase 2

A

See a shift in metabolism to the more efficient aerobic metabolism & the use of fatty acids to produce ATP

51
Q

Exercise from a metabolic point of view: Phase 3

A

Occurs as exercise intensifies, will see muscle fibers going back to the anaerobic production of ATP & thus the utilization of the remaining stored glycogen, During this phase that lactic acid can accumulate w/in the fibers
