Phospholipids: cell membrane
Triglycerides: storage in muscle and adipose. use fatty acids for energy
Term
Proteins

amino acids (
Gluconeogenesis: alanine converted to glucose in liver
Term
ATP-PC system
Definition
Metabolic pathway involving muscle stores of ATP and the use of phosphocreatine to rephosphorylate ADP. Used at onset of exercise adn during short term, high-intensity work
Term
Glycolysis
Definition
Breakdown of glucose or glycogen to form two molecules of pyruvate or lactate. Also produces 2 NADH.
Energy investment phase requires 2 ATP
Energy generation phase produces 4 ATP
Term
3 ways to produce ATP
Definition
Glycolysis
Phosphorylative oxidation
Phosphocreatine
Term
Enough phosphocreatine stored to last...
Definition
10 seconds, then use glycolysis
Term
Anaerobic
Definition
No oxygen
PC breakdown and glycolysis
Term
Aerobic
Definition
Need oxygen
Oxidative phosphorylation
Term
Krebs cycle
Definition
Amino acids, pyruvate and fatty acids convert to Acetyl-CoA which enters the krebs cycle and produces 1 FADH and 3 NADH. Substrate level phosphorylation is when the krebs cycle makes Guanosine Triphosphate which directly makes ATP from ADP.
Term
What is Acetyl CoA made from
Definition
Carbohydrates go through anaerobic glycolysis and pyruvate is produced.
Breakdown of fats into fatty acids which go through beta oxidation to form Acetyl CoA.
Breakdown of proteins into amino acids converted to glucose, pyruvic acid, acetyl coA and krebs cycle intermediates
Term
In Electron Transport Chain each NADH and FADH produce how many molecules of ATP
Definition
NADH: 2.5 molecules of ATP
FADH: 1.5 molecules of ATP
Term
Electron Transport Chain
Definition
Occurs in mitochondria. Results in the formation of ATP and water. Water is formed by oxygen accepting electrons, hence the reason we breath oxygen is to use it as the final acceptor of electrons in aerobic metabolism.
Term

Definition
Elevated HR and BR = increased energy need
Elevated body temp = increased metabolic rate
Elevated ep and norep = increased metabolic rate
Gluconeogenesis (lactic acid to glucose)

>5 seconds: glycolysis
60 seconds: 70%anaerobic/30%aerobic
2 minutes: 50/50
Term
Metabolic response to long term
Definition
Aerobic metabolism
Steady state O2 can be maintained except if hot/humid or too high intensity (upward drift of O2 intake, body temp and rising levels of ep and norep)
Term
Metabolic response to incremental
Definition
O2 uptake increases linearly until VO2max is reached.
VO2max: physiological ceiling due to ability of cardiorespiratory system to deliver O2 and ability of muscles to produce ATP aerobically, up to 50% genetic
Term
Lactate Threshold
Definition
BLood lactate level starts to rise exponentially. Occurs at 50-60% of VO2max for untrained and 65-80% of VO2max for trained
Term
Explanations for lactate threshold
Definition
Hypoxia
Glycolysis goes so fast ETC can't keep up, or there isn't enough oxygen or mitochondria. So NADH/FADH can't drop H off at ETC so NADH/FADH converts pyruvic acid into lactic acid.
Recruitment of fast twitch: LDH promotes lactic acid formation
REduced rate of lactate removal from blood
Term

Definition
70% oxidized
20% converted to glucose in liver
10% converted to amino acids
Removed more rapidly with light exercise
Term
Respiratory Exchange Rate
Definition
RER
R=Volume of CO2/Volume of O2
R for fat is .7
R for carbs is 1
RER must be above 1 to determine VO2max
Term
Fuel selection

Low intensity = fats
High intensity = carbs
Crossover due to recruitment of fast twitch muscle fibers and increasing levels of blood epinephrine
Want to conserve glucose
Term
Sources of carbs

Term
Sources of fat
Definition
Intramuscular triglycerides: high intensity
Plasma Free fatty acids: low intensity long duration
Term
Fats burn in the flame of carbohydrates
Definition
In order for fat to be turned into Acetyl CoA and be used in the Krebs cycle, glycolysis also must be functioning in order to produce the intermediates of the krebs cycle
Term
Glycogen is depleted during prolonged high intensity exercise causing...
Definition
Reduced rate of glycolysis adn production of pyruvate, which causes reduced krebs intermediates which causes reduced fat oxidation which causes ATP production to decrease.
