What does steady-state exercise mean?

Steady-state exercise is a type of exercise you'll be able to maintain for a prolonged period of time, you will be in the oxidative system.

100

What is the rate-limiting enzyme?

PFK

100

How much ATP is yielded from oxidative phosphorylation in the cytoplasm?

0 ATP, since we only make ATP via SLP in the cytoplasm

100

How much ATP is produced from the NADH+H+ in the cytoplasm?

0, it only drops off hydrogen at the hydrogen ion shuttle or attaches it to pyruvate.

100

How many essential and non-essential amino acids are there?

9 Essential

11 Non-essential

200

What is used (specifically) during the first 3 seconds of the onset of high-intensity exercise?

Stored ATP

200

Which of the following enzymes is required to resynthesize ATP at high-intensity exercises?

A. Adenylate Kinase

B. Creatine Kinase

C. Synthase

D. ATPase

200

When we start with muscle glycogen how much ATP is yielded from the breakdown of that molecule? And why is that? NET TERMS

3 ATP, since we don't have that initial ATP investment

200

What is involved in the steps from converting pyruvate into acetyl Co-A?

Coenzyme-A, 1 CO2 and NADH+H+

200

What are the 5 molecules that can undergo gluconeogensis?

APLOK

300

Why is it that we cannot sustain both the ATP-PCr system and the anaerobic glycolytic system?

They have a very high energy demand and we cannot keep up with that demand very well. Thus, we have an accumulation of H+ ions which causes acidity levels to rise within our cells.

300

What does the enzyme adenylate kinase do and what 2 molecules are needed to undergo this process?

2 ADP, they react with eachother and create ATP and AMP

300

Oxidation produces more ATP than anaerobic glycolysis?

T/F

True

300

In gross terms, how much ATP is synthesized via Oxidative Phosphorylation?

26-28 ATP

300

What is the breakdown of glucose?

Breakdown of glycogen?

Glycolysis

Glycogenolysis

400

While doing wall sits for a total of a minute and 30 seconds, which of the following would be elevated during the bout of exercise?

A. pH of the muscle

B. LDH activity

C. Hexokinase activity 

D. PFK activity

B, C, and D

400

What is the difference in enzymes between the anaerobic breakdown of a blood glucose molecule and a muscle glycogen?

Hexokinase- BG

G.P.- Muscle Glycogen

400

What are the 2 fates for lactate

Sent to the liver to undergo gluconeogenesis

Converted back to Pyruvate by removing 2 H+ ions 

400

What is created from the citric acid cycle?

3 NADH+H+,2 CO2,1 FADH2, ATP via SLP

400

Who is in a negative nitrogen balance?

Long duration, athletes, low carb, low calorie, diet, and excessive protein intake

500

Cody is jogging with his dog at 6 mph for 20 minutes. While jogging if he uses muscle glycogen for energy production, which of the following could be produced in total from glycolysis?

A. 2 ATP NET

B. 3 ATP NET

C. 26 ATP via Oxidative Phosphorylation

D. 31 ATP NET TOTAL

B. 3 ATP NET

500

At around 10 seconds of high-intensity exercise what enzymes are being stimulated in the cell?

Hexokinase, G.P., LDH and PFK (glycolytic enzymes)

500

What molecule dictates how much fast we can undergo anaerobic glycolysis?

NAD+, this molecule will dictate how fast we are able to attach Hydrogen ions to pyruvate and create lactate. If we are able to use NAD+ quicker we will be able to produce ATP quicker.

500

What is the function of NAD+ in the cytoplasm vs the mitochondria?

Cytoplasm- picks up H+ ions, attaches them to pyruvate, and sends to them Hydrogen ion shuttle.

Mitochondria- Enter the ETC and create ATP

500

What are two ways to stimulate Glut-4 activity?

Increased insulin secretion and exercise/ build-up of AMP kinase
