25
What is phosphofructokinase
enzyme which catalyses the breakdown of glucose (glycolysis)
26
What occurs if glucose levels fall in glycolytic system
- glycogen phosphorylase (GPP) is released, converting glycogen into glucose to maintain its concentration in the blood stream
27
What is glycogen phosphorylase (GPP)
enzyme which catalyses breakdown of stored glycogen
28
What is the process of the breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen
anaerobic glycolysis
29

pyruvic acid
30

- lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is released
31
What is lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
enzyme which catalyses conversion of pyruvic acid into lactic acid
32
How does muscle fatigue occur in glycolytic system
anaerobic glycolysis frees only about 5% of potential energy lactic acid levels rise PH in muscle cells decreases -> inhibits enzymes prevents further breakdown of fuel and ATP resynthesis causing muscle fatigue
33
What is the point where blood lactate levels significantly rise
OBLA
34
Give the equation for the breakdown of glucose in the glycolytic system
glucose --> pyruvic acid + energy
35

Pyruvic acid --> lactic acid
36
Give the equation for the resythnthesis of ATP in the glycolytic system

ATP ---> ADP + P + energy from muscular contraction
38

low-moderate intensity activity
39
Name the three stages in the aerobic system
- aerobic glycolysis - kerbs cycle - electron transport chain
40
What does aerobic glycolysis in the sarcoplasm do
converts glucose into pyruvic acid with enzyme PFK catalysing the reaction
41
Meaning of aerobic glycolysis
releases enough energy to resynthesise two moles of ATP
42
What occurs when converting glycogen into glucose in aerobic glycolysis
maintains process for extended periods of time, oxygen is now in sufficient supply, pyruvic acid is no longer converted into lactic acid. Link reaction occurs catalysed by coenzyme A (produces acetyl CoA), allows access to mitochondria
43
Describe what occurs in the Krebs cycle
- acetyl CoA combines with oxaloacetic acid -> citric acid, this is oxidised through reactions. CO2, hydrogen and enough energy to resynthesise 2 moles of ATP are released. Occurs in matrix of mitochondria
44
GLYCOLYTIC SYSTEM -type of reaction -fuel used -specific site of reaction -controlling enzyme -ATP yield -by products -intensity -duration of system
-anaerobic reaction -glycogen/ glucose -sarcoplasm -GPP, PFK, LDH -2 ATP -lactic acid -high intensity -10-180 secs
45
What are the 3 strengths of the glycolytic system
-no delay for oxygen- anaerobic -fast fuel breakdown for ATP resynthesis -provides energy for high-intesnity actvities
46

-1 adenosine molecule -3 phosphate groups
51
What occurs in terms of ATP to create muscle contraction
-ADENOSINE-PHOSPHATE-PHOSPHATE->PHOSPHATE -bond in between last two phopshate groups (one with arrow) is where energy is stored -this bond is broken down by ATPase -this releases energy -> muscle contraction

contribution of each energy system to overall energy production
56

glycolytic system is predominant
61
What energy system is present duing low-moderate intensity activites lasting >3 mins
aerobic system is predominant
62
What is threshold
when an athletes predominant energy production moves from one energy system to another -e.g. netballer uses atp-pc system to receive ball on centre pass, but uses glycoltyic system when man marking
63
Explain what happens in the ATP-PC system during very high intensity exercise
-atp levels fall -adp & p levels rise -triggers release of creatine kinase (breaks down PC in sarcoplasm) -for every mole of PC broke down, 1 mole of ATP is resynthesised -this forms a coupled reaction
64
Explain what happens in the glycolytic system during high intensity exercise
after first 10 secs of intense activity -> PC & ATP levels fall -triggers release or phosphofructokinase (PFK) -> catalyses next avaliable fuel: glucose -if glucose levels fall (GPP) breaksdown storedglycogen -> converting it into glucose -breakdown of glucose in absence of oxygen -> anaerobic glycolysis -> productuon of pyruvic acid -at high intensity oxygen is not avaliable to continue energy extraction -> LDH is released -LDH converts pyruvic acid into lactic acid
65
Explain what happens in the aerobic system duriny low to moderate exercise
aerobic glycolysis in sarcoplasm converts glucose -> pyruvic acid (PFK catlalyses reaction) -converting glycogen into glucose by GPP maintains this process for long periods of time -oxygen is in sufficient supply -> pyrivic acid doesnt convert into lactic acid -goes through link reaction catalysed by coenzyme A -> acetyl coA krebs cycle -acetyl coA combines with oxloacetic acid -> citric acid etc -
