Cards

Term
Glycolysis
Definition
The Breakdown of carbohydrates to produce ATP
Term
Fast glycolysis
Definition
Pyruvate is converted into lactic acid providing ATP
Term
Slow gylcolysis
Definition
Pyruvate is transported to the mitochondria for use in the oxidative system
Term
Lactic acid
Definition
Term
Lactate
Definition
Converted to its salt form from lactic acid by the muscles and blood
Term
Gluconeogenesis
Definition
The formation of glucose from lactate and noncarbohydrate sources
Term
Cori cycle
Definition
The clearing of lactate from the blood. This process can happen by lactate being cleared by oxidation within the muscle fiber, being transferred to other muscles to be oxidized, or be transferred to the liver
Term
Mitochondria
Definition
Specialized cellular organelles where the reactions of aerobic metabolism occur
Term
Pyruvate
Definition
End product of glycolysis
Term
Glycogen
Definition
Storage form of glucose
Term
Phosphorylating
Definition
Adding a phosphate to something
Term
to Reduce something
Definition
Add a hydrogen to it
Term
Rate Limiting Step
Definition
The slowest reaction in the series
Term
Lactate Threshold (LT)
Definition
The exercise intensity or relative intensity at which blood lactate behind an abrupt increase above the baseline concentration
Term
Onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA)
Definition
A second increase in the rate of lactate accumulation
