Physiology and Anatomy (Energy Systems)

Question 1

Use of ATP

Answer 1

All physical movement in the body required ATP

Question 2

The 3 Energy Systems

Answer 2

1) ATP-PC System
2) Glycolytic System
3) Aerobic System

Question 3

Advantages of ATP-PC System

Answer 3

1) Quick energy production

2) Doesn’t need oxygen to produce energy

Question 4

Disadvantage of ATP-PC System

Answer 4

1) Only lasts for 8-10 seconds
2) Only walks when we are working maximally
3) Takes 2-3 minutes to recover

Question 5

Advantages of Glycolytic System

Answer 5

1) Quick energy production
2) Doesn’t require oxygen to produce energy
3) We can produce energy for up to 2 minutes without oxygen

Question 6

Disadvantages of Glycolytic System

Answer 6

1) Build up of lactic acid causes soreness, pain and fatigue

2) Not a lot of energy produced

Question 7

Advantages of Aerobic System

Answer 7

1) Can work for a very long period of time

2) Oxygen breaks down lactic acid

Question 8

Disadvantage of Aerobic System

Answer 8

1) Energy production is not very fast

2) Only efficient when not working to the maximum
