neuro quiz 2 Thursday 2/13/14 Flashcards
Define Anabolism
• taking smaller molecules to build larger molecules
o E.g. A.As together form a protein
Define Bioenergetics
flow of E in our system; how we build and breakdown E
Define Catabolism
breaking down of larger molecules to smaller molecules
o E.g. Glycogen broken down to glucose releasing E
o ATP breaking down to ADP + P
Define Exergonic Reactions
E releasing and are generally catabolic
o E.g. breaking ATP to ADP or AMP releaseas energy
Define endergonic reactions
– require energy and include anabolic processes and the contraction of muscle
Define Metabolism
how we break down larger molecules to smaller; total of all the catabolic or exergonic and anabolic or endergonic reactions in a biological system
What is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
allows the transfer of E from exergonic to endergonic reactions
What is Lactate Threshold
The exercise intensity or relative intensity at which blood lactate begins an ABRUPT increase above the baseline concentration
what is Excess Post Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC)
is the oxygen uptake above resting values used to restore the body to the preexercise condition
How is ATP broken down to ADP + E
Know the formula
Hydrolysis - with the presence of water
• ATP + H2O <–ATPase–> ADP + Pi + H+ + E
What are the Three basic E systems that exist in muscle cells to replenish ATP?
- The Phosphagen system
- Glycolysis
- The oxidative system
What occurs in the mitochondria?
Only the Krebs Cycle + Electron Transport Chain
True or false: Glycolysis occurs within the mitochondria
FALSE: in the sarcoplasm
only Krebs cycle and ETC occur in the mitochondria during oxidative system (with O2 present/aerobic metabolism)
Name the enzyme that catalyzes lactate from pyruvate
lactate dehydrogenase
What E system is the Start of all exercises (when you are in oxygen debt)?
Phosphagen System
Provides ATP primarily for short-term, high-intensity activities
What are the TWO the formulas for the phosphagen system? What are their enzymes?
CP + ADP <=Creatine Kinase=> ATP + C
ADP + ADP <=Myokinase=> ATP + AMP
Myokinase aka Adenylate Kinase
Where does the phosphagen system and glycolysis take place?
The sarcoplasm
What is glycolysis’ main fuel source?
The breakdown of carbohydrates – either from glycogen stored in the muscle or glucose delivered in the blood – to resynthesize
True or false: O2 is present during Fast Glycolysis
False: O2 is not present during Fast Glycolysis or the Phosphagen system
What is the FIRST thing that happens when pyruvate enters the mitochondira?
Pyruvate turns into Acetyl-CoA
Which molecule ENTERS the Krebs Cycle?
Acetyl-CoA
