ATP/PC
This is what the "PC" in the ATP/PC system is short for.
What is Phosphocreatine?
These four types of foods are required in large amounts (Fats, Proteins, Carbohydrates, and Water).
What are macronutrients?
C, H, O, N.
What is the chemical composition of a protein (amino acid)?
The controlled release of energy in the form of ATP through the breakdown of glucose in the cells.
What is cellular respiration?
Another name for the lactic acid system.
What is Anaerobic?
This is the approximate range of time the ATP/PC system will last.
What is 2-10 seconds?
These three are required in very small amounts in the body (Vitamins, Minerals, and Fiber).
What are the micronutrients?
The ratio of carbons to oxygen to hydrogen in carbohydrates.
What is 1:2:1?
The net amount of ATP produced during Anaerobic Glycolysis.
What is 2 ATP? (4 produced, 2 by each pyruvate, but 2 invested initially in glucose breakdown).
This is an example of an exercise that would be predominantly fueled by the ATP/PC system.
What is a shotput?
What is high jump?
What is 40 yard dash?
Amino Acids that must be obtained from foods because they cannot be manufactured in the body.
What are Essential Amino Acids?
This is what the suffix in the chemical reaction glycolysis and lipolysis means.
What is "to breakdown"?
This is an example of an activity that relies predominantly on the aerobic system.
What is a marathon?
What is cycling?
The molecule that is created after glucose is broken down in the initial stages of glycolysis.
What is pyruvate or pyruvic acid?
Explain how adenosine can gain and lose a phosphate molecule.
What is when energy is needed ATP will lose a phosphate to produce energy (high energy bond) and ADP. (ATP --> ADP + P)
When ADP is in need of a phosphate, it will pick up available phosphates from the mitochondria, recharge and become ATP again. (ADP + P --> ATP)
1760 kJ.
What is the kJ amount in 100 grams of carbohydrate?
This is the structure of a triglyceride molecule.
What is one glycerol and three fatty acids?
The process of fat breakdown, typically to generate energy
What is lipolysis?
This is what pyruvic acid converts to when there is no oxygen present during glycolysis.
What is lactic acid?
This is the specific part of the cell that the ATP/PC system produces energy.
What is the cytosol?
These have no double bonds and are solid at room temperature.
What are saturated fats?
The kind of reaction that occurs when a monosaccharide joins to another monosaccharide, disaccharide, or polysaccharide through loss of a water molecule.
What is a condensation reaction (or anabolic reaction)?
This is a very specific part in the cell where oxidative phosphorylation occurs.
What is the inner membrane of the mitochondria?
This is what occurs to pyruvic acid during glycolysis in the presence of oxygen.
What is it is shuttled to the Krebs Cycle?
