Glycogen and glucose
Simple sugar also known as blood sugar and can be used for energy or stored as glycogen
What is glucose?
Two fats that are important for metabolism
What are fatty acids and triglycerides?
Most important energy molecule in cells
What is adenosine triphosphate (ATP)?
The enzymatic system with the function of oxidizing substrates
What is the Krebs Cycle?
Taken from blood glucose and intramuscular glycogen for aerobic metabolism
What is glucose?
The storage form of glucose in animals and is typically stored in muscle or the liver
What is glycogen?
Contains max number of hydrogen atoms and no double bonds
What are saturated fatty acids?
What is anaerobic metabolism?
The enzymatic system with the function of producing the majority of ATP during aerobic metabolism
What is the electron transport chain (ETC)?
Breaks down glycogen to release more glucose into the blood between meals or when glucose is high
What is the liver?
What is glycogenesis?
Does not contain max number of hydrogen atoms and has at least one double bond
What are unsaturated fatty acids?
The energy system that is required for longer than three minutes of exercise
What is aerobic metabolism?
Formed in the last reaction of the Krebs Cycle
What is oxaloacetate?
Produces two ATPs per glucose molecule
What is the Krebs Cycle?
The breaking down of glycogen into glucose
What is glycogenolysis?
Stored in fat cells as well as other tissues
What are triglycerides?
The enzyme that breaks PC into creatine and Pi
What is creatine kinase?
Goes through a series of reactions resulting in two CO2 and 1 ATP
What is citrate?
Results in the net gain of two ATP from glucose and three ATP from glycogen
What is glycolysis?
Important for metabolism at rest and in exercise
What is glucose and glycogen?
Cannot be metabolized by muscle but can be used to synthesize glucose in the liver
What is glycerol?
The three components of ATP
What is adenine, ribose, and three phosphate molecules?
Formed from the breakdown of pyruvate in aerobic conditions
What is acetyl-CoA?
Used to a minimal extent to synthesize glucose
What is amino acids and glycerol portion of triglycerides?
