Nutrients

Question 1

ATP

Answer 1

adenosine
ribose
triphosphate - chemical energy in peptide bonds

Question 2

ADP

Answer 2

adenosine
ribose
diphosphate

Question 3

Carb stores (70kg man)

Answer 3

3-5g blood glucose
80-100g liver glycogen
300-400g muscle glycogen

Question 4

Fat stores (70kg man)

Answer 4

3.5-14kg adipose tissue
200-500g muscle triglyceride

Question 5

Why is ATP important during exercise?

Answer 5

success dependent upon abaility to provide energy for muscle contraction
ATP hydrolysis (ATP + H20 –> ADP + Pi + energy)

Question 6

ATP resynthesis anaerobic

Answer 6

match rate of utilisation
fast

PCr + ADP + H+ –> Cr + ATP
Glucose + 2ADP + 2Pi –> 2 lactate + 2H2O + 2ATP

Question 7

ATP resynthesis aerobic

Answer 7

Glucose + 6 O2 + 36 ADP –> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O +36 ATP

Palmitate + 23 O2 + 130 ADP –> 16 CO2 + 16 H2O +130 ATP

Question 8

Fat metabolism equation

Answer 8

triglyceride – lipolysis – fatty acids –> B oxidation

Question 9

Carb metabolism

Answer 9

Glycogen or glucose – glycolysis –> pyruvate (lactate) –> B oxidation

Question 10

Protein metabolism

Answer 10

protein – proteolysis –> amino acids (NH3) –> keto acids –> B oxidation
