Q

What are the characteristics of substrate level phosphorylation?

A
  • a free phosphate is transferred directly from an intermediate molecule in the metabolism pathway
  • occurs during glycolysis

Q

What are the characteristics of oxidative phosphorylation?

A
  • energy in form of hydrogen ion and electron, transferred from substrate to NAD+ and FAD producing NADH and FADH (reduction)
  • substrate is oxidized
  • used to drive electron transport chain
  • provides majority of app for sustained exercise
  • aerobic
  • supply is endless

25
In order of fastest to slowest, rank the ATP synthesis pathways
PCr system > substrate level phosphorylation > oxidative phosphorylation
26
What system is used during a 100m dash and weight lifting?
phosphates system
27
What system is used during the 800m dash?
substrate level phosphorylation
28
What system is used during a marathon
oxidative phosphorylation
29
Are all systems active at once or do they work one at a time?
always working together one just dominates more
30
What is the primary usable form of CHO fuel in the body?
glucose
31
What is glycogen?
polysaccharide composed of hundreds to thousands of glucose molecules
32
Where is glycogen stores?
liver and skeletal muscle
33
What is glycogenesis?
synthesis of glycogen
34
What is glycogenolysis?
breakdown of glycogen to gather glucose
35
What is glycolysis?
breakdown of glucose to pyruvate to make ATP
36
Where does glycolysis occur?
sarcoplasm of myocytes
37
Does glycolysis require oxygen?
no
38
What happens during glycolysis?
splitting of glucose (6 carbon chain) to 2 pyruvic acid (3 carbon chain)
39
What are the two stages of glycolysis?
energy investment stage and energy generation stage
40
What happens during the energy investment stage of glycolysis?
two stored atp used to rearrange and phosphorylate plasma glucose to a form which is split into two molecules
41
What happens during the energy generation stage of glycolysis?
two molecules are oxidized and phosphorylated, NAD+ reduced to NADH 2 NADH produced 4 ATP produced
42
What is the net amount of ATP generated from glycolysis of one molecule of glucose?
2 net ATP: 2 used in investment (4 total)
43
What is the net amount of ATP generated from glycolysis of glucose derived from intramuscular glycogen?
3 net ATP: only 1 will be used in investment
44
Where does aerobic metabolism occur?
mitochondria of cell
45
What two pathways interact in aerobic metabolism?
Krebs cycle and electron transport chain
46
What is required for the citric acid cycle (Krebs)?
acetyl-CoA
47
For every molecule of acetyl-CoA that enters the Krebs cycle, what is produced?
- 3 NADH - 1 FADH2 - 1 ATP - 2 CO2
48
What is required for the electron transport chain/oxidative phosphorylation?
NADH or FADH and oxygen
49
What happens at the pumps in the electron transport chain?
NADH oxidized in first pump activating 2nd and 3rd pumps, sending hydrogen ion to inter membrane space FADH initiates chain at second pump where more hydrogen ions are moved through oxidation of NADH
50
Will any pumps operate in the electron transport chain if oxygen is not present?
no
51
What happens when oxygen combines with hydrogen ions in the electron transport chain?
create large concentration gradient of hydrogen ions in inter membrane space relative to matrix, but must move down gradient through protein channel using ATP synthase which generates ATP
52
For each molecule of NADH oxidized in the electron transport chain, how many ATP are produced?
2.5 ATP
53
For each molecule of FADH oxidized in the electron transport chain, how many ATP are produced?
1.5 ATP
54
How many ATP molecules are produced from glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain?
glycolysis: 2 krebs: 2 electron transport chain: 25 from NADH and 3 from FADH total: 32 ATP per 1 molecule of glucose
55
What are the other fuel sources of aerobic metabolism?
fatty acids via beta oxidation amino acids: 2-15% of energy during exercse
56
Can anything other than glucose and phosphocreatine be used for anaerobic metabolism?
no
57
When is lactate produced?
at rest and during increased reliance on anaerobic metabolism
58
What does lactate allow?
allows exercise to continue in the presence of not enough oxygen or when aerobic metabolism cannot produce ATP fast enough (high intensity)
59
Why is lactate produced?
- accumulation of pyruvate - depletion of NAD+ available for glycolysis - limited rate of glycolysis - pyruvate converted to lactate via oxidation of NADH
60
What happens to lactate?
used as a valuable source of chemical energy that is returned to pyruvate through lactate shuttle and then used as energy
61
What does lactate contribute to?
lowering of pH during high intensity exercise
62
How is lactate used in the Cori Cycle?
used by liver to synthesize glucose via gluconeogenesis
