Creatine kinase
In the anerobic respiration, each glucose molecules produces ………….
Two ATP
Two pyruvic acid
Anerobic respiration takes place in
Cytoplasm
In the anerobic respiration, pyruvic acid could be converted to …………… if …………… not available
Lactic acid - oxygen
……………. may contribute in pain and muscle fatigue
Lactic acid
Oxygen debt in the anerobic respiration is used to convert …………… to ……………. in the ………………
Lactic acid | CO2 + H2O | liver
Glucose lactate cycle is called
Cori cycle
2 ADP molecules is converted into ………….. by …………….
ATP + AMP | myokinase
Aerobic respiration is :
Breakdown of glucose or fatty acids in presence of oxygen to produce ATP + water + carbon dioxide
Storage form of type I muscle fibers
Triglycerides and myoglobin
Storage form of type II muscle fibers
Creatine phosphate and glycogen
The enzyme that break glycogen into glucose
Myophosphorylate
Metabolism in sprinters muscle fibers
Stored ATP > Creatine phosphate > glycogen
Sustained exercise modulate the body to use ……….. over …………..
Fatty acids | Glucose
Causes of muscle atrophy
Nonfunctioning neuromuscular junction
Lack of exercise and disuse
Exercise can produce :
Hyperatrophy
Changes in capacity for ATP production
Aerobic exercise produces
Increase in mitochondria
Increase in capillaries
Increase in endurance
Strength exercise produce
Hypertrophy
Increase glycolytic activity
Aerobic respiration takes place in
Start > cytoplasm
Rest > mitochondria
