Q

name two potential consequences of high protein intake

Q

what is the difference between ATP and ADP?

A

ATP has three phosphate groups and ADP has only two phosphate groups. ADP has less energy and is usually regenerated into ATP

Q

what is the rest pause technique for resistance training? why is this done?

A

do a set of reps then put the weight down for about 10 to 15 seconds to allow the muscles to get oxygen. then do another set for a few more reps and repeat. continue until you get 12 to 15 total reps

Q

when doing rest, pause or relaxation pauses ATP is produced from pyruvate through metabolic oxidation. when does this process happen until?

A

It happens until the heart and lungs catch up so they can then keep up with the demand of oxygen.

Q

what does pyruvic acid do when oxygen is lacking?

A

produces lactic acid in anaerobic metabolism

28
Q

what does pyruvic acid do during aerobic metabolism?

A

It supplies energieys to cells because oxygen is present

29
Q

pyruvate can be converted to fatty acids through _______

A

acetyl CoA

30
Q

makes up all the processes that are involved in the metabolic chain of chemical reactions to generate energy in all aerobic organisms

A

citric acid cycle

energy production function of the cell can only occur after acetyl COA is generated from glycolysis, occurring in the mitochondria

A

citric acid cycle

32
Q

what is the term used to describe chemical compounds generated during energy production are oxidized
