Exam 2 Flashcards
Phosphate System=
ATP+CP (It is a high intensity system)
Anaerobic System=
Glycolysis (Long anaerobic system)
Endurance System=
Aerobic (With oxygen system)
Potential Energy
Energy stored within a physical system as a result of the position or configuration of the different parts of that system. It has the potential to be converted into other forms of energy
energy stored within a physical system as a result of the position or configuration of the different parts of that system.
Kinetic Energy
Energy of motion
Free Energy
Max amount of released energy that is capable of doing work.
Thermodynamic free energy
The energy in a physical system that can be converted to do work.
First Law of Thermodynamics
Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but can change forms.
Second Law of Thermodynamics (Entropy)
.Entropy = thermodynamic property moving towards equilibrium.
How many forms can energy change into? What kind?
6 forms. Heat, mechanical, chemical, electrical, solar, light.
Enzymes
Are biological catalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions.
Do not get destroyed during process. Act by lowering energy required for a reaction to proceed
Enzyme Activity
The rate its substrates are converted to products.
What influences enzyme activity?
- Temperature
- pH
- Substrate or enzyme concentration
Enzyme-Substrate Kinetics
Reaction rates increase as substrate concentration increase, but become saturated at very high concentrations of substrate.
Why are cofactors and coenzymes necessary?
For normal activity of enzymes.
