exercise physiology midterm 1 Flashcards
catabolism
breakdown of molecules
anabolism
synthesis (bringing together) of molecules
bioenergetics
converts food into useable energy
ATP
adenosine triphosphate
main unit of energy
ATP `
ATP storage
normal storage (80-100g)
- this ends up equalling 160-200 units of ATP (not very much as all)
regular ATP consumtion
25kg
enzymes
specific protein molecules that catalyze reactions
- speeds up reactions by cuasing lower energy of activation
enzymes under complex control
- competitive inhibition
- non-competitive inhibition
- feedback inhibition
- enzyme affinity
competitive inhibition
some molecules “compete” for binding sites
non-competitive inhibition
molecules can bind to another part of an enzyme resulting in an inhibition at the site for another molecule
feedback inhibition
end products of reactions can inhibit or controls the action of the enzyme that helped produce it
- end product formed in reaction actually gets enzymes to slow down or stop making new products altogether
enzyme affinity
how likely the enzyme is to catalyze the reaction
kinase
transfers phosphate group (phosphorylation)
phosphorylase
addition of a Pi molecule
phosphatase
remove phosphate group
dehydrigenase
remove H+ atoms
oxidase
catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions involving O2
catalyze
cause or accelerate a reaction
isomerase
rearrangement of the stucture of a molecule
main nutrients in exercise metabolism
carbohydrates
- glucose
- glycogen
-muscle and liver
lipids
- FAs
- TGs (triglycerides
proteins
- ammino acids
factors affecting energy production
- total energy demand
- rate of demand
- coupled glycolysis
glycolysis
breakdown of glucose to pyruvate
glycogenolysis
breakdown of glycogen to glucose
gluconeogenesis
formation of glucose from a non-CHO source
- i.e. protein and fat
two phases of glycoslysis
- energy investment phase
- energy generation phase
NAD
nicotinamide adenin dinucleotide
FAD
flavin adenine dinucleotide
oxidation reaction
loss of electronsres
reduction reaction
gain of electrons
glycogen —> glucose 1-phosphate
glycogen phosphorylase (GP)
glucose —> glucose 6-phosphate
hexokinase (HK)
(- 1 ATP)
fructose 6-phsophate —–> fructose 1,6-biphasphate
phosphofructokinase (PFK)
(- 1 ATP)
