Transfer of Energy During Exercise Flashcards
the flow and exchange of energy within a living system
bioenergetics
the process of creating biologic compounds from smaller building blocks to support the body’s energy needs
biosynthesis
energy can not be created nor destroyed but transforms from one form to another without being depleted
first law of thermodynamics
the ability to perform work
energy
a dam is blank energy
potential
three forms of biologic work
chemical, mechanical, transport
biologic work that is the biosynthesis of molecules
chemical
biologic work that is muscle contraction
mechanical
biologic work that is the transfer of substances among cells
transport
the tendency of potential energy to degrade to kinetic energy of motion with a lower capacity for work
second law of thermodynamics
example of second law of thermodynamics
heat production during exercise
transfer of oxygen atoms, hydrogen atoms, or electrons
oxidation reaction
any process which the atoms in an element gain electrons
reduction
redox reaction… the substance donating or losing electrons as it oxidizes
reducing agen
the substance being reduced by gain electrons
oxidizing agent
catalysts that help reduce the amount of energy needed to initiate the reaction
enyzmes
increase in body temp during exercise blank affects enzyme activity
positively
lowering of pH blank affects most enzyme reactions
negatively
three macronutrients that are sources of energy
carbs, fats, proteins
primary function of these is to supply energy for cellular work
carbohydrates
