Final Exam Flashcards
L12-28 (198 cards)
when do glycolysis and glycogenolysis occur in comparison to each other
- at the same time ALWAYS
how much ATP is stored in the body
- only 80-100g
- lasts for about two seconds
how do energy needs change during exercise
- increase 100x
- there are minimal changes to concentration of ATP
what is the immediate system for ATP resynthesis
- 8-15 seconds of exercise
- kicks in as soon as muscles are contracted
- ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP +pi + H+ (these byproducts plus Ca2+ activate CK enzyme)
- CK accelerates breakdown of PCr
- PCr gives a Pi to ADP to make ATP
how can carbohydrates generate ATP
- both anaerobically and aerobically
- only macronutrient that can do both
What is glycolysis
- process in which one glucose molecule turns into 2 pyruvate molecules for cellular respiration to continue
-glucose brought into the cell via GLUT1 and GLUT4
-NAD+ goes in NADH comes out
-2 ATP produced
-pyruvate produced
where does glycolysis occur
- inside of the cell (cytosol)
- not in the mitochondria
what is the glycolytic system (anaerobic metabolism)
- glycogenolysis
- glycolysis
- lactate production
Where is carbohydrate available from during exercise
- blood
- muscle
- liver (to muscle via blood)
- ingested (from digestion to muscle via blood)
how does glucose enter a muscle cell
- glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4)
-transport protein
-specific to muscle cells
-follows concentration gradient (facilitated diffusion)
-insulin sensitive
what does Hexokinase (HK) do
- converts glucose to glucose-6-phosphate (G6P)
- G6P cannot leave the cell so glucose is now trapped (irreversible reaction)
- ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP, Pi, H+ and the Pi attaches to glucose to produce G6P
what two things can happen to G6P after HK converts glucose to G6P
- undergoes glycolysis - when doing PA
-phosphoglucomutase converts G6P to G1P - stored at glycogen - at rest
-glycogen synthase converts G1P to glycogen
what is phosphofructokinase
- rate limiting enzyme
- activated by ADP, AMP, Pi, G6P because that would indicate you are doing PA
- inhibited by ATP and H+
what is glycogen phosphorylase (PHOS)
- rate limiting enzyme
- increased activity vis Ca2+, AMP, Pi, EP
- decreased activity via H+, ATP, G6P
- catalyses glyocogenolysis
what is glycogenolyis
- occurs in sarcoplasm
- glycogen breaks down G1P
- Yields 3ATP
-1 required, 4 produced
what are the two glycolysis pathways
- anaerobic
- aerboic
what are the trademarks of aerobic glycolysis
- O2 present
- slow
- high ATP production
- product is pyruvate to continue through to the mitochondria
what are the trademarks of anaerobic glycolysis
- no o2 present
- fast
- low ATP production
- product is lactate
how is lactate produced
- process called lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
- when pyruvate and NADH+H+ accumulate lactate is formed
- they accumulate when there is a mismatch between glycolytic rate and capacity of mitochondria to accept pyruvate
how is lactate removed
- goes into the bloodstream
- goes to brain, liver, heart to be used as fuel
what exercise intensity does lactate get produced at
- all
- exponentially increases about 80% exertion
does lactate cause fatigue?
- no - just buffers the acidity
- it is produced when ATP demand > aerobic metabolism ATP supply so fatigue is felt with it
what happens to each of the energy systems during a 30 second maximal intensity workout
- PCr declines
- glycolysis declines
- oxidative phosphorylation increases
how much glycogen is stored in the muscles and liver, and how much glucose is stored in the blood?
- Muscle glycogen = 500g
- liver glycogen = 80 g (hard to access)
- blood glucose = 5g
