Q

Glycerol to pyruvate

A

What is beta oxidation?

17
Q

More ATP can be made from one molecule of fatty acids than one molecule of glucose

A

Why are fatty acids better than glucose in the aerobic system?

18
Q

Pros: More ATP produced (36) No fatiguing by products Lots of glycogen stores so last for a long time Cons: 15% more oxygen required to break down than glycogen Takes a while for enough oxygen to be available

A

What are the pros and cons of the aerobic system?

19
Q

An energy-rich phosphate compound form in the sarcoplasm of the muscles

A

What is Phosphocreatine (PC)?

20
Q

Facts about ATP-PC system

A

Quick breakdown and release of energy to resynthesise ATP. Rapid availability crucial for single maximal movements. Limited stores lasting 5-8 seconds, replenished during low intensity work with oxygen.

21
Q

Anaerobic

A

Occurs without oxygen.

22
Q

Coupled Reaction

A

When energy needed for one process is supplied by another.

23
Q

How ATP-PC system provides energy

A

Anaerobic process re-synthesising ATP when creatine kinase detects high ADP levels. Breaks down phosphocreatine in muscles.

24
Q

Pros and Cons of ATP-PC system

A

Pros: Rapid resynthesis, no fatiguing byproducts, creatine supplementation extends usability. Cons: Limited PC supply (10 seconds), 1 ATP per PC, PC resynthesis needs oxygen.

25
Q

ADP Reaction

A

Phosphocreatine (PC) > Phosphate (Pi) + Creatine (C) + Energy

26
Q

Energy used to convert ADP to ATP

A

Coupled reaction

27
Q

ATP Reaction Formula

A

Energy + Pi + ADP > ATP

28
Q

Short-term Lactate Anaerobic System

A

Produces high-powered energy for high-intensity efforts like the 400m.

29
Q

Short-term Lactate Anaerobic System also known as

A

Anaerobic glycolytic system

30
Q

Provides energy for high intensity activity for longer than ATP-PC system. Duration varies based on individual fitness and intensity. Lowering intensity can extend system to 2-3 minutes. Resynthesizes ATP from glucose breakdown, stored in muscles/liver as glycogen.
