Q

• An example from baseball.

• Jose’s (blank) see the ball coming towards him and is able to identify the pitch as a curve
ball
• (blank) nerves (afferent) send that information to the CNS

Q

• Inside the fibres of the deltoid and pectoralis major, (blank) is released
• The calcium allows myosin heads to attach to actin
• When the heads swivel the fibres of the deltoid muscle will (blank
• The shortening of the fibres will pull on the humerus causing Jose to swing the bat
• The muscle spindles “tell” the (blank) when the arm is in the correct position
• If all goes as planned, the deltoid and pectoralis major will move his arms into a

Q

Measuring energy release

• Can be calculated from heat produced
• 1 calorie (cal) = heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1 (blank) of water by
1°C
• 1,000 cal = 1 (blank) = 1 Calorie (dietary)

Q

• Metabolic pathway: a series of (enzyme) mediated reactions leading to the formation of a specific product
• Metabolic flux: (blank) of molecules through a pathway
• Control of metabolic flux (↑ flux)
– ↑ substrate concentration
– ↑ affinity for substrate by allosteric modification
– ↑ enzyme concentration

A

enzyme

17
Q 
What are Enzymes?
• Proteins
– Produced by the cell
– They are (blank) (substrate specific, specific action)
– They are regulatable
• Catalysts that regulate the (blank) of reactions
– Lower the energy of activation
– Remain (intact) following reaction
A

specific

speed

intact

18
Q

What are 4 factors that regulate enzyme activity?

A 
• Factors that regulate enzyme activity
– Temperature
– pH 
– Concentration
– Allosteric regulators
19
Q
  • Traditional view is that a pathway (blank) was controlled by a single rate-limiting step
  • MCA advocates that metabolic control is shared between all enzymes in a pathway with different enzymes exhibiting different degrees of control
  • Rather than rate-limiting the term ‘rate-(blank)’ has been suggested

The activity of one (blank) can limit the rate of an entire reaction

What is the reverse of hydrolysis of ATP?

A

21
Q

ATPase vs ATP synthase?

A

ATP synthase releases H20 and absorbs energy

26
Q 
How much ATP do we consume during a muscle contraction?
• A single muscle fibre may contain up to 15 billion thick (blank)
• When that muscle fibre is actively contracting, each thick filament breaks down roughly 2,500 (blank) molecules per second
In a (blank)-second contraction a muscle can consume roughly 37,500,000,000,000 ATP molecules!
A
