ATP/PC
What is the main fuel source of the ATP/PC system?
The stores of ATP in the muscle
What is the duration of the lactate system?
30 sec - 3min depending on the intensity
How efficient is Aerobic system in producing ATP
It is very efficient how ever it is not very fast
True of False - Hot water will turn into ice faster then cold water?
True
Give 3 examples of sports where ATP/PC is the main system
Various but may include
- 100m sprint
- 50m freestyle
- Long jump
What is the cause of fatigue in the lactate system?
The build up of acid, in particular the build up of H+.
Meaning it has been create faster then it can be removed. This causes the muscle to become acidic and not be able to function properly
True, because it lasts more then 3 minutes
How many legs does a lobster have?
10
How long does recovery take in the ATP/PC system?
about 2 minutes but it is half replaced in 30seconds
What is the source of fuel for the lactate system and what is the process called?
Glycogen is the fuel source. The breakdown of glycogen to ATP is called glycolysis.
What is the by-product of the Aerobic system and how is it removed?
Water and carbon dioxide are the by-products. Water is usually removed through sweating and carbon dioxide by exhaling.
In inches, how big is the diameter of a basketball hoop?
18
Do you get sore when working in the ATP/PC system? Why/why not?
No, because there are no by-products (other then heat) such as acid and the effort is not long enough to cause damage to the muscle cells.
What is the process of recovery for the lactate system?
If there is oxygen the by-products(pyruvic acid) can be converted back into ATP. (Through the kreb cycle).
If no oxygen, lactate acid needs to go back to the liver to be converted to glycogen.
How long does the aerobic system take to recover? and why?
It can take between 12 and 48 hours. Because the process involves replenishing stores such as glycogen, this can only be done through digestion of food.
Which country was the first to use paper money?
China
What is a single stand of spaghetti called?
A spaghetto
