Basics of Bioenergetics and production
The chemical process of converting food into energy.
What is bioenergetics or metabolism?
Slow-twitch muscle fibers contract repeatedly without fatigue.
What is aerobic exercise?
Using energy to form a product from separate molecules
What is anabolic reaction?
Formation of glycogen from glucose
What is glycogenesis?
The two types of fats important for metabolism.
What are fatty acids, and triglyceride?
System that oxidizes substrates
What is known as the Krebs Cycle?
Breaks down triglycerides inside adipose cells into glycerol and fatty acids and released into blood.
What is hormone-sensitive lipase/
The breaking down of glycogen into glucose.
What is glycogenolysis?
The four forms of energy.
What is Chemical, Electrical, Heat, and Mechanical?
What is anaerobic exercise?
This thing contributes less that 2% of fuel used during exercise of less than an hour but may increase to 5-10% when exercising for several hours
What are proteins?
Improve ability to buffer acidity of hydrogen ions produced in glycolysis
What are buffering capacity adaptations?
A type of protein molecule that facilitates a chemical reaction by lowering the energy activation
What are enzymes?
It generally provided most energy for the first 2.5 minutes after ATP-PC.
What is glycolysis?
Light to moderate aerobic exercise after exercise. Leading to a faster decrease in lactate.
What is active recovery?
This must be ingested in food and cannot be synthesized.
What is essential amino acids?
Cannot deplete fat stores through exercise alone as fat stores are abundant in lean individuals as well.
What are triglycerides?
Produces majority of ATP during aerobic metabolism known as oxidative phosphorylation
What is the Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
The ratio of oxygen used and CO2 produced during metabolism
What is Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER)
Three final products of glycolysis.
What are two pyruvic acid, two NADH and H+ molecules, and a net gain of two ATP molecules?
