Lactic acid energy system Flashcards
What is the fuel of the lactic acid system
Glucose
Where do we get glucose from
Glycogen (stored glucose)
When glucose is Brocken down what does it release
Energy
When gly……. occurs what is the energy released able to do
When glycolysis occurs the energy release is able to re-synthesise 2 molecules of ATP
What is the Bi product of glycolysis (a weak acid)
P…… A…
Pyruvic acid
The lactic acid energy system is an…….. so there is no o……
Anaerobic so no oxygen
Because there is no o…… the pyuvic acid is converted to l…… a…
