Term 2 End Of Topic Test Flashcards
What is adenoising triphosphate?
A high energy compound, which is our only immediate available source of energy for muscular contraction.
What is an enzyme?
A biological catalyst which increases the speed of chemical reactions.
What is atpase?
An enzyme which catalyses the breakdown of ATP.
What is an exothermic reaction?
A chemical reaction which releases energy.
What is an endothermic reaction?
A chemical reaction which absorbs energy.
What is the ATP PC system?
An anaerobic method of energy lasting around 10 seconds.
What is the first stage of the APPC system?
ATP is broken down by atpase Into ADP plus a phosphate molecule and plus energy reaction is an exothermic reaction.
What is the second stage of the ATPPC system?
Phosphocreatine is broken down by creatine kinase into phosphate plus creatine plus energy. This is an exothermic reaction.
What is the final stage of the ATP PC system?
ADP, from stage, one phosphate from stage two and energy react to synthesise ATP so that it can be broken down all over again to produce energy. This is an endothermic reaction and it will take about four minutes to synthesise whilst only lasting 10 seconds when being broken down.
What are the five advantages of the ATP PC system?
- It is quick.
- There are no harmful byproducts.
- We aren’t waiting for oxygen to circulate the body.
- It is used for high power, anaerobic exercise.
- Phosphocreatine synthesises quickly so recovery time is small.
What are the five disadvantages of the ATP PC system?
1.It runs out quickly.
2. Can only be used for approximately 10 seconds.
3. cannot be used for long-distance/aerobic, exercise, or endurance exercise.
4. PC storage is limited in the muscles so it doesn’t have the large supply of phosphocreatine.
5. Low energy output from input. One model of PC produces one molecule of ATP.
What is the glycolic system?
It is the breakdown of glycogen into glucose to make energy.
Where do both the ATP system and the glycolic system happen?
In the sarcoplasm of the muscles.
In the glycolytic system, what is glycogen broken down into?
Glycogen is broken down into glucose.
In the glycolic system, which enzyme breaks down, glycogen into glucose?
GPP.
In the glycolic system, what is glucose broken down into?
It is broken down into pyruvic acid. Where 2 ATP is released.
In the glycolytic system, which enzyme breaks down glucose into pyruvic acid?
It is broken down by PFK.
In the glycolic system, what is pyruvic acid broken down into and what is it broken down by?
It is broken down into lactic acid, and by the enzyme LDH.
Why is lactic acid harmful?
Lactic acid changes the pH of the enzymes it denature them, so they can’t work properly. The more we train the higher the lactic acid threshold.
What is the glycolic systems yield?
2:1 for everyone molecule of glucose we get 2 ATP.
What are the four advantages of the glycolytic system?
- Doesn’t need to wait for oxygen.
- Can be used for anaerobic exercise/at high intensity.
- It resynthesises quick.
- More energy made for ATP to be broken down.
What are the disadvantages of the glycolic system?
- There is a byproduct of lactic acid and it can be harmful to performance level.
- The time it can be used for is a limited.
What is the aerobic system?
It has three stages, aerobic glycolysis the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain. it is predominantly used in aerobic exercise and can typically forever.
What happens in state one of the aerobic system; aerobic glycolysis?
Collection is broken down to glucose by GPP glucose has broken down into pyruvic acid by PFK. Pyruvic acid is then broken down by coenzyme A into acetyl enzyme A.
In the aerobic system stage, one aerobic glycolysis, why doesn’t LDH breakdown, pyruvic acid into lactic acid?
This is because there is oxygen present, so instead of pyruvic acid being broken down by LDH, it is broken down by coenzyme A making acetyl coenzyme A.
Where does stage one of the aerobic system? Aerobic glycolysis take place?
It takes place in the sarcoplasm of the muscles.
Where does stage two; the Krebs cycle take place?
It is in the mitochondria.
What happens during stage two the Krebs cycle in aerobic system?
Acetyl coenzyme A Absorbs into the mitochondria, it binds with oxaloacetic acid which is found in the mitochondria to form citric acid.
Citric acid is then broken down (Krebs cycle) into four products.
In the Krebs cycle of the aerobic system, what are the four products citric acid is broken down into?
First one is carbon dioxide, it is produced and then removed.
The second one is the production of hydrogen atoms.
The third one is 2 ATP.
And the final one is the regeneration of oxaloacetic acid.
What happens in stage three the electron transport chain of the aerobic system?
The hydrogen atoms produced from the citric acid from the previous Krebs cycle are transported by NADS and FADS So now we have NADH and FADH the NADS and the FADS move the hydrogen atoms from the matrix of the mitochondria to the cristae. Hydrogen ions are oxidised and removed as water, leaving hydrogen electrons which release energy to synthesise ATP. They synthesise 34 ATP.
What are the three advantages of the aerobic system?
- Large fuel stores allow a long duration of energy production.
- It has a high ATP yield.
- There is no fatiguing by products.
What are the two disadvantages of the aerobic system?
1.When is that there is a delay for oxygen delivery and complex series of reactions so cannot provide energy immediately.
2. slow energy production limits activity to sub maximal, intensity/aerobic exercise.
What is EPOC?
Excess post exercise, oxygen consumption. The volume of the oxygen consumed above resting levels following/during exercise.
What is oxygen deficit?
When insufficient oxygen is available at the start of exercise to provide all the ATP needed aerobically.
What is oxygen consumption?
The amount of oxygen in the body.
What is myoglobin?
A protein that stores oxygen in the muscles.
What is active recovery?
The use of minimal energy to aid recovery.
What alactacid?
A fast process that takes 2-3 minutes where oxygen is used for rapid re synthesis of ATP/PC stores and respiration
What is lactacid?
A slow process that takes 1-24hours where oxygen is used to remove lactic acid and maintain high heart rate, breathing rate and body temperature.
How do we get rid of EPOC?
After strenuous exercise, there are four main tasks that our body needs to happen before the fatigued muscles can operate at optimum efficiency again.
What are the four things? Our body has to do. In order for our muscles to operate at optimum. Efficient again after excess post exercise, oxygen consumption?
- there are replenishment of oxygen in the myoglobin.
- Replacement of glycogen.
- Removal of lactic acid.
- Return body temperature to normal.
What happens in 2 to 3 minutes after doing exercise?
4 L of oxygen can be replenished
What happens in one to 2 minutes after exercise?
My globin is reloaded my globin helps transfer oxygen from the bloodstream to the mitochondria.
What are the two main functions of the respiratory system?
Pulmonary ventilation inspiration, expiration of air.
What is external respiration?
The movement of oxygen into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide into the lungs.
What is internal respiration?
Release of oxygen to spy on cells for energy production and collection of waste product
In the mechanics of breathing, what happens to the diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles during inspiration?
The diaphragm flattens and contract and the external intercostal muscles contract.
