Q

What is the phosphagen system?

A

An immediate energy system. It is non-oxidative, anaerobic energy.
ATP is regenerated by transferring a phosphate group.

Q

Which of the following is NOT true of the Creatine Kinase Reaction?

a. Two seperate reactions coupled together
b. The resynthesis of ATP by transferring a phosphate from Creatine phosphate to ADP
c. It follows the Adenylate Kinase reaction
d. It delays acidosis by consuming a H+

A

c. It follows the Adenylate Kinase reaction

The creatine kinase reaction precedes the adenylate kinase reaction.

Q

Where does anaerobic glycolysis occur?

a. In the mitochondria
b. In the cytosol
c. In the cytoplasm
d. In RBCs

A

b. In the cytosol

intracellular fluid or cytoplasmic matrix - the liquid found inside cells

17
Q

Lactate is produced by which ATP production pathway?

A

Anaerobic glycolysis (or rapid glycolysis)

18
Q

Define gluconeogenesis.

A

Gluconeogenesis is the biosynthesis of new glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors. It occurs mainly in the liver and kidneys.

19
Q

Which of the following is used for gluconeogenesis?

a. Pyruvate
b. Lactate
c. Glucose
d. Glycate
e. Amino acids
f. Glycerol

A

b. Lactate
e. Amino acids
f. Glycerol

20
Q

What is the Cori Cycle?

a. The oxidation of pyruvate
b. An inter-tissue lactate-glucose metabolic pathway
c. The glucose-alanine shuttle
d. The recycling of lactate in the liver

A

b. An inter-tissue lactate-glucose metabolic pathway

21
Q

What is Ketogenesis?

A

Ketone bodies are used as
glucose replacement fuel
source. It occurs in the mitochondria of liver cells when glycogen & glucose reserves have been exhausted.

22
Q

What is the sympathoadrenal system?

A

The sympathoadrenal system is a physiological connection
between the sympathetic nervous system and the adrenal
medulla and is crucial in an organism’s physiological response to
outside stimuli (e.g. exercise).

23
Q

What is Glycogenolysis?

A

glycogen breakdown (for energy); catabolic pathway

24
Q

Define Glycogenesis.

A

glycogen synthesis; anabolic pathway Occurs at rest, or when glycogen reserves are depleted.

25
Q

Fed-state metabolism is under the influence of ______, which promotes
_______ ______

A

Fed-state metabolism is under the influence of INSULIN which promotes
glucose metabolism.

26
Q

Fasted-state metabolism is under the influence of ________, which promotes
________ & ______ in the _______ to _______ blood glucose levels.

A

Fasted-state metabolism is under the influence of GLUCAGON which promotes
glycogenolysis & gluconeogenesis in the liver to restore blood glucose levels.

27
Q

The hormone ______ increases as exercise intensity increases?

A

noradrenaline
