Quiz 4 (Ch 14) Flashcards
the energy carrying molecule in the body
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
ATP generated
continuously in muscle stores for 1-3 seconds
generated from the breakdown of fat, carbohydrate, and protein
stores some energy that can be used to regenerate glucose
stores enough energy for 3-15 seconds
Creatine Phosphate (CP)
does not require oxygen
anaerobic
requires oxygen
aerobic
primary glycolysis end product
pyruvate
pyruvate –> lactic acid –> liver to be converted back to glucose
Cori Cycle
how many atp molecules does anaerobic breakdown of glucose yield?
2 atp molecules
how many atp molecules does aerobic breakdown of glucose yield?
36-38 atp molecules
process much slower, yield is greater
fuels the body for 3 minu - 4 hours
far fewer acids produduced
aerobic breakdown compared to anaerobic
fuel sources change depending on the intensity and duration of exercise
remember this concept
low intensity exercise
exercise of long duration
abundant energy source
2x more energy per gram than carbohydrates
slowly metabolized
primary energy source during rest, sitting, and standing in place
triglycerides (fats) can be metabolized to generate ATP
energy sources for ATP production
carbohydrates and fats
used in high intensity activity
carbohydrates
used for low intensity exercise
fats
