What are the 3 systems used to replenish ATP?

Creatine phosphate
anerobic glycolysis
aerobic glycolysis

What is the profile of the CP system?

First system, fast respone
lasts 6-10s, small storage

What is the profile for anerobic system?

Require no oxygen
lasts 3 mins
suitable for high intensity, low duration
creates lactic acid
  • Higher grades + faster learning
  • Never study anything twice
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding

What is the profile for aerobic system?

Requires oxygen
lasts forever
create Co2, water
pyruvate molecule moves into the mitocondria, krebs and electron transport.

Which kind of glycolysis yields 36 atp?

Aerobic

How much ATP is created from one triglyceride molecule?

460 ATP

As intensity increases how does the supply of energy change?

Atp is created from carbohydrates

At low intensity what is the nutrional energy source?

Fats

As the duration of exercise increase theres an increase rely on which macronutrient?

Fats

Which of the glycolysis systems does fast twitch fiber muscles belong to and why?

Anerobic, because they have low mitocondrial density

Which glycolysis sytem does slow twitch muscle fibers belong to?

Aerobic

Why are fast twitch fibers white and slow twitch red.

Myoglobin and mitrocondrial density is that gives color.
fast twich have lower myglobin and mitocondral density
slow twich have an abundance of myglobin and mitocondrial density

During fat breakdown what happens to the glycerol and to the fatty acids?

Glycerol goes to the liver undergoes gluconeogenesis
fatty acids enter skeletal cells and undergo beta oxidation become acetyl-CoA then enter kerbs and electron transport.

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
