100

Difference between oxygen uptake and oxygen demand during exercise

What is O2 deficit

100

Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP (energy) production

What is Mitochondria

100

enzyme that catalyzes hydrolysis of ATP

What is ATPase

100

The total amount of energy expended in one day.

Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE)

100

Study of energy transfer in living organisms

What is Bioenergetics

200

Measurement of metabolism determined by the quantity of heat released from the body

What is Calorimetry

200

Primary source of lipids used for energy production; broken down from stored triglycerides in muscle or adipose tissue.

What is Free fatty acid

200

An energy storage molecule used by muscle tissue; the phosphate can be removed and attached to an ADP to generate ATP quickly

What is Phosphocreatine (creatine phosphate)

200

Energy used to eat, digest, and metabolize foods and beverages

What is Thermic Effect of Food (TEF)

200

Any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that contributes to daily energy expenditure

What is Physical activity

300

Direct measurement of heat dissipated from an individual; measured in an insulated chamber

What is Direct calorimetry

300

rate limiting enzyme of the phosphagen system

What is Creatine kinase

300

Three-carbon compound that forms as an end product of glycolysis; enters Krebs cycle in the presence of oxygen

What is Pyruvate

300

Energy expended doing everyday activities not related to exercise

What is Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT)

300

biological catalysts that enhance the rate of chemical reactions

What are Enzymes

400

Method of estimating energy expenditure by measuring respiratory gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide)

What is Indirect calorimetry

400

A metabolic process that breaks down carbohydrates and sugars through a series of reactions to either pyruvate or lactate and release energy for the body in the form of ATP

What is Glycolysis

400

A 3-carbon compound produced from pyruvate during anaerobic metabolism

What is Lactate

400

A practical way do describe exercise intensity; assumes the body uses 3.5 mL of oxygen per kg body weight per minute at rest

What is Metabolic Equivalent (MET)

400

A reaction in which electrons are transferred from one reactant to another (either gained or lost); always occur together

What is Oxidation-reduction reaction

500

Represents the total amount of oxygen consumed relative to body weight (expressed in ml/kg/min)

What is Relative V02

500

Metabolic process that completes the oxidation of pyruvate formed from glycolysis yielding ATP, CO2, FADH, NADH

What is Krebs cycle

500

rate limiting enzyme in glycolysis

What is Phosphofructokinase

500

Ratio of the amount of carbon dioxide produced (expired) relative to oxygen consumed; can be used to determine fuel being used during metabolism

What is Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER)


500

enzymes that catalyze the addition of a phosphate group from an inorganic phosphate (phosphate+hydrogen) to an acceptor.

What is Phosphorylase
