W1-L3: Energy Metabolism Flashcards
What is Phosphocreatine? (PcR)
- A high-energy phosphate compound
- Cells store approximately 4-6x more PCr than ATP
- Free energy releases when the bond cleaves between PCr’s creatine and phosphate molecule
PCR Enzymes
PCr and ATP during SPRINT exercise
explain
Can physical training increase the muscles’ quantity of high-energy phosphates?
yes do interval of maximal movement training to increase storage
Cellular oxidation: Electron Transport

3 ATP for every NADH + H+…but really 2.5.. Why?
2 ATP for every FADH2 … but really 1.5… Why?

uses ATP
What are the 3 requirements for an uninterrupted electron transport chain?
- Tissue availability of the reducing agent NADH or FADH2
- Presence of the oxidizing agent oxygen in the tissues
- Sufficient concentration of enzymes and mitochondria to ensure that energy transfer reactions proceed at their appropriate rate
What are the 3 Stages of Energy release form Macronutrients?
Stage 1: digestion, absorption and assimilation of large food macromolecules into smaller subunits for use in cellular metabolism
Stage 2: degrade amino acid, glucose, fatty acid and glycerol units within the cytosol into acetyl-coenzyme A, with limited ATP and NADH production
Stage 3: within the mitochondrion, acetyl-coenzyme A degrades to CO2 and H2O with considerable ATP production
What is Aerobic or slow Glycolysis?
- Slow process
- Substantial ATP formation
- pyruvate become the end product. Will go through other processes to further breakdown in the citric acid cycle and electron transport production of ATP
What is Anaerobic or rapid Glycolysis?
- Rapid process
- Limited ATP production
- Lactate is formed from pyruvate and is the end produc
Energy Release from Carbohydrate
1:1 Ratio
What is Rapid Glycolysis, where does it take place?
- Occurs outside of the mitochondria
- Important for maximum effort physical activity for up to about 90s
What is Glycogenesis?
glycogen synthesis
What is Glycogenolysis?
glycogen breakdown
- the glycogen reacts with a phosphate and become G6P
- When this occurs, we get a net gain of 3 ATP instead of 2 ATP
What is the starting substrate of Glycolosis?
What is the Net Gain of ATP?
What if the starting Substrate is Glycogen?
Glucose
The net gain of ATP in glycolysis is 2 ATP molecules per glucose molecule.
we get a net gain of 3 ATP instead of 2 ATP
