Q

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the lactic acid/glycolytic system?

A

Advantages

  1. The combined actions of the ATP/PC system and lactic acid/glycolytic system allows muscles to re-synthesise ATP even when the supply of oxygen is limited.
  2. Fast reaction.

Disadvantages:

  1. Accumulation of the by-product LACTIC ACID in the muscles and blood.
  2. This acidification of muscle fibres inhibits further glycolytic enzyme action (PFK) and impedes muscle contraction.

Q

What happens during the lactic acid/glycolytic process?

A
  1. Glycolysis occurs: glycogen, glucose and pyruvic acid are broken down by the controlling enzymes.
  2. The energy released from this is used to resynthesise ATP.
  3. Waste product lactic acid is produced during glycolysis.
