18
Q

what is an anabolic reaction?

A

building up (use energy)

19
Q

what is catabolic reaction?

A

breaking apart (releases energy)

20
Q

what is glycogen?

A

stored glucose

21
Q

where is glycogen stored? (2)

A

liver, skeletal muscle

22

where are triglycerides stored? (2)

A

adipose tissue
skeletal muscle

23
Q

what is glycogenolysis? (breaking apart)

A

breaking apart glycogen

24
Q

Lysis?

A

breaking apart

25
Q

what are the two chemicals used during fasting and exercise? (2)

A

adrenaline
glucagon

26
Q

what does glucagon do?

A

glycogen into glucose

27
Q

what does adrenaline do?

A

glycogen into glucose (glycogenolysis)

28
Q

three energy systems? (3)

A

ATP-CP, Lactic acid, aerobic

29
Q

what is the process of creatine-phosphate system? (3 steps)

A
  1. break off a phosphate molecule
  2. add phosphate molecule to ADP
  3. this forms ATP
30
Q

Characteristics of the creatine-phosphate system? (2 steps)

A
  1. produces 1 ATP
  2. quickest energy pathway
31
Q

characteristics of the lactic acid system? (2)

A
  1. 2 ATP
  2. occurs in oxygen defict
32
Q

mechanism of the aerobic system? (4 steps)

A
  1. glycogen - glucose - pyruvate
  2. pyruvate - COA - Kerbs cycle
  3. Kerbs cycle - COA - hydrogen and carbon dioxide
  4. Electron transport chain (hydrogen - electrons - ATP)
33
Q

number of ATP produced by aerobic respiration?

A

36-38 ATP

34
Q

characteristics of the aerobic respiration system? (4)

A
  1. breakdown of glucose, fats, proteins
  2. makes the most ATP out of all energy systems
  3. Most complex = takes the most time
  4. requires oxygen
35
Q

what is oxygen deficit?

A

when demand is greater than supply

36
Q

what is oxygen debt? (2)

A
  1. amount of oxygen needed after exercise
  2. used to remove the by-products
37
Q

two components of oxygen recovery?

A
  1. rapid (EPOC)
  2. slow (steady state)
38
Q

characteristic of EPOC (rapid)?

A
  1. short amount of time to recover
  2. replaces creatine-phosphate stores
39
Q

characteristics of steady state (slow)?

A
  1. removal of lactic acid from the blood
  2. take up to 48 hours to remove
40
Q

what is the breakdown of glucose to pyruvate called? (oxygen deficit)

A

anaerobic glycolysis

41
Q

fuels that are used to make ATP anaerobically? (think carbs)

A

glucose

42
Q

example of a catabolic reaction? (think carbs)

A

glucose to glycogen
