Supply Instant Energy

Question 1

What happens at the start of exercise?

Answer 1

Immediate regeneration of the ATP

Question 2

How is immediate regeneration of ATP achieved?

Answer 2

Through using creating phosphate

Question 3

What is creating phosphate?

Answer 3

Substance stored in muscles that can be hydrolysed to release energ

Question 4

What is Creatine Phosphate triggered by?

Answer 4

The formation of ADP therefore Creatine phosphate breaks down as soon a exercise starts

Question 5

Equation

Answer 5

Creatine Phosphate + ADP = Creatine + ATP

Question 6

What is ATP/PC system?

Answer 6

Reactions that do not require oxygen and provide energy for 10 seconds of intense exercise.

Question 7

Why can’t aerobic respiration meet the demands for energy at the start of exercise?

Answer 7

Supply of oxygen to muscles is insufficient. Lungs and circulation are not delivering oxygen to the muscles fast enough therefore ATP is regenerated without oxygen

Question 8

What allows regeneration of ATP

Answer 8

First the ATP/PC system then anaerobic respiration then there will be an increase in blood supply to the muscles ensuring high oxygen supply to the muscle cells then aerobic respiration can regenerate ATP as quickly as it is being broken down.
