Q

supplies 5-10% of energy for prolonged exercise

17
Q

Factors to control the rate of free-energy release are

A
  • Availability of the primary substrate

- Enzyme activity

18
Q

What does the following:

  • Doesn’t start chemical reaction or set ATP yeild
  • facilitates breakdown (catabolism ) of substrates
  • lower the activation energy for a chemical reaction
  • end’s with suffix ase
19
Q

Each step in a biochemical pathway requires specific

20
Q

more enzyme activity = more

21
Q
  • Can create bottleneck at an early step
  • Activity influenced by negative feedback
  • Slows overall reaction, prevents runaway reaction
A

Rate-limiting enzyme

22
Q

major fat energy source

A

triglycerides

23
Q

the process of fat oxidation carried out by lipases is

24
Q

substrates are most commonly composed mostly of

A

carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen

25
(a one unit sugar) glucose is considered a
monosaccharide
26
(a multi unit sugar) glycogen is a
polysaccharide
27
____ are the only energy source used by brain tissue
carbohydrates
28
only ___ are used to form ATP
FFAs
29
_____ are a key structural component of all cell membranes and forms a protective sheath around some large nerves
phospholipids
30
the influence of substrate ability on the rate of metabolism is termed at the
mass action effect
31
an important enzyme that breaks down ATP and releases stored energy is known as
Adenosine Triphosphatase
32
this enzyme is usually located early on in a metabolic pathway and is key for controlling the reaction's overall rate
rate-limiting enzyme
33
an atp molecule is composed of
adenosine combined with 3 inorganic phosphate (P1)
34
when an ATP molecule is combined with water (hydrolysis) and acted on by the enzyme ATPase
the last phosphate splits away rapidly releasing a large amount of energy
