Metabolic Pathways
The primary energy system used during high-intensity activities, such as sprinting or weightlifting.
What is the ATP-PC System?
The storage form of glucose in the body.
What is glycogen?
Another name for citric acid cycle. Produces 2 CO2 , 1 ATP, 3 NADH, and 1 FADH2 per 1 Acetyl CoA.
What is the Krebs Cycle?
In the liver this cycle converts lactate to glucose.
What is the Cori cycle?
The chemical process of converting food into energy
What is bioenergetics?
In glycolysis, a number of net ATP molecules are produced when starting with glucose.
What is 2 ATP?
The two types of fatty acids that can be metabolized for energy.
What is Saturated and unsaturated fatty acids?
In the electron transport chain this molecule acts as the last electron and hydrogen acceptor.
What is oxygen?
Studies have shown that lactate may not cause post-workout discomfort even though many believe this misconception.
What is delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS)?
chemical, electrical, heat, mechanical
What is forms of energy ?
the Rate-Limiting enzyme of glycolysis.
What is Phosphofructokinase (PFK)?
the number of amino acids is considered essential and needs to be consumed through a diet.
What is 9 essential amino acids?
When hydrogen ions flow through ATP synthase to produce ATP.
What is the chemiosmotic hypothesis?
When blood lactate exceeds resting levels during exercise.
What is lactate threshold?
plants convert this to carbohydrates
What is sunlight?
the metabolic pathway becomes dominant for energy production during exercise lasting longer than 3 minutes.
What is Aerobic metabolism?
the process is involved in breaking down glycogen into glucose for energy.
What is glycogenolysis?
The full ATP gain after oxidation of a single glucose molecule in aerobic conditions.
What is 32 ATP?
Elevated oxygen consumption will help restore lost ATP and remove some lactate
What is EPOC? (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption)
The body converts this to useful energy
What is food?
the molecule is produced at the end of glycolysis when oxygen is no available.
What is Lactate?
The metabolic substrate is utilized the most during high-intensity exercise.
What is carbohydrates?
Site where Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Chain occur.
What is the mitochondrion?
Light to medium aerobic activity like walking will help to get rid of blood lactate better than just staying still.
What is active recovery?
Carbohydrates, Fats, etc.
What is chemical energy
