Topic 7 - Exercise Flashcards
(119 cards)
1
Q
Too little exercise problems
A
Increased risk of obesity Coronary heart disease, build-up of cholesterol in arteries/blood vessels, CVD, atheroma Diabetes High blood pressure/stokes Osteoporosis
2
Q
A structure with cells containing many nuclei?
A
Muscle
3
Q
Too much exercise problems
A
Wear and tear on joints
Suppression of immune system/susceptibility to respiratory tract infections. Upper respiratory tract infections, reduced number of white blood cells.
4
Q
Homeostatic control mechanism that restores pH to original level.
A
Negative feedback.
5
Q
Sprinters: fast twitch muscle fibres are less red
A
Less myoglobin present
Less blood/ fewer red blood cells/less haemoglobin
As fewer capillaries present
Respiration is mainly anaerobic
6
Q
How pH of blood increases to original after race
A
Low pH is due to acid (lactic acid and dissolved CO2) in the blood
Lactate (lactic acid) is taken to the liver
Oxygen debt/EPOC is used to convert lactate (lactic acid) to pyruvate (pyruvic acid) with the production of reduced reduced NAD (NADH2).
Lactate/ pyruvate is converted to glucose/glycogen
Chemoreceptors detect change in pH Increased nerve impulses from medulla Increased breathing rate Increased heart rate Dissolved CO2 from blood diffuses into alveoli
7
Q
Blood vessels in skin with muscle: action to increase heat loss during exercise
A
Arterioles
Muscles contracting to restrict diameter in shunts (vasoconstriction)
Muscles relaxing to increase diameter in/dilate arterioles (vasodilation)
To redirect blood away from deeper arterioles into surface arterioles
To increase blood flow into capillaries towards surface, so more heat lost through radiation
8
Q
Less fatigue with epicatechin
Increase inner: outer SA of mitochondria memebrne
A
Fatigue may be due to less ATP
Inner memebrane is the site of electron trnasport chain and oxidative phorpykation
More inner membrane, greater inner surface area, then more electron transport chain and more aerobic respiration
More ATP made - its synthesis involving chemiosmosis, H^+ down electrochemical gradient through ATP synthase
So delays onset of fatigue
(by 34 seconds in group A, thouse fed epicatechin)
9
Q
Mice group A were given water containing epicatechiun at 1mg per Kg of their body mass rather than per mouse
A
Mice of different mass
Concentration is a controlled variable
Increases validity of investigation or conlusions
May be harmful in high doses
10
Q
Effect of epicathechin on mitochondria
A
Increases the ratio of inner by 0.3/17.6%
Inner membrane is larger: IM/om
11
Q
How SAN is involved in controlling heart rate
A
SAN is myogenic
Electrical activity from SAN causes atria to contract
actvity of SAN can be changed by nerve impulses e.g. controlled by the medulla
More impulses fom accelerator increases heart rate: more impulses from sympathetic nerve, noradrelaine, increase heart ratemore impulses from vagus nerve, more imulses from parasympathetic, acteylkcholine, decreases heart rate
12
Q
*How her many cells have digested lactose
A
Lactase gene actiavted and transcribes
Synthesis of lactase
Hyroylsis of lactosre - glycosidic bonds broke, to produce glucose and galactose
13
Q
*Using Hennrietta’s cells vs. using guinea pigs, mice
A
Better model than guinea pigs or mice
Snimal rights - fewer no ethical issues about animal welfare
Easy to culture
HeLa cells susepctible to the diease (being studied)
14
Q
NAD/NAD+/NADox formed in ETC
A
Due to reduced NAD releasing electrons
Electrons go to carrier A/ ETC
H+ moved to inter-membranal space
15
Q
ATP in ETC
A
Due to H+ passing through stakled partilce/ATPase/ATPsynthase
H+ passes down an electrochemical gradient
Suffiecient energy is released
To join ADP and Pi -oxidative phosprylation of ADP
This is by chemiosmosis
16
Q
Respirometer with a screw clip, not a syringe
A
Screw clip open: coloured liquid does not move
Screw clip closed: coloured liquid moves towards the left, towards the organisms as they take oxygen in.
Potassium hydroxide is replaced with water ans screw clip is closed. Coloured liquid does not move. CO2 just replaces the oxygen taken in.
17
Q
Name the proteins which make up the thick and thin filaments in muscle.
A
Actin - thin filament
Myosin - thick filament
18
Q
Interaction between troponin and tropomysoin when a skeletal muscle fibre contracts
A
Ca++ bind to troponin
Troponin changes shape, moves
This displaces tropomyson away from myosin
19
Q

A
Thermoreceptors in hypothalamus Detect the increase in core blood temp. Heat loss centre activated Autonomic , sympathetic,nervous system Impulses down motor neurones To effectors Head loss by vasodilation of blood vessel, sweat released, heat loss from blood through radiation
20
Q
Shivering helps return and increase heat to normal
A
Shivering is muscle contraction
Which uses respiration/ATP - oxidative phosphorylation, ATP being converted to ADP and Pi
Which release heat to warm body
21
Q

24
Q
Krebs cycle without acetyl CoA? Aceytl CoA \+ 4 C compound To form 6 Carbon compound and 2H 1 x x 5 C compound 6H 1X X Back to 4 C compound
A
KREBs cycle would stop 4 Carbon compound would accumulate 6 Carbon compound would not be synthesised 5 Carbon compound would also run short CO2 would reduce in quantity
25
Too efficient metabolism
Less food is required to deliver energy require,met
So more likely to have extra food not respites/surplus energy
Which could be stored in the body as fat
26
A larger VO'2 means more oxygen can enter mitochondrial and therefore more energy can be released from fuel
```
ADP and Pi
Pyruvate
Fatty acids
NAD
Acetyl CoA
Water
```
27
Glycogen structure
Many alpha glucose monomers joined by 1-4 glycosidic bonds. Side branches present (1-6) glycosidic bonds
28
Increase in slow twitch fibres, increase in muscle efficiency
Slow twitch muscles carry out aerobic respiration/ full oxidation
Which produces more ATP than anaerobic
Energy not locked up in lactate
It takes longer for lactate levels to build up
29
Lower testosterone allows racing harder
```
More gonodotropins
Use of excess fatty acids
Respire to release fatty acids
Increased fat metabolism
Reduced requirement to replenish glycogen stores.
```
30
Ca2+ channel leak
| Leads to muscle fatigue
Ca2+ leaks out of cell
Change in Ca2+ binding to troponin
Causes tropomyosin displacement
Change in myosin binding to actin
Loss of Ca2+ from cell, therefore force exerted by muscle is lower than expected
More Ca2+ in cytoplasm, results in less ATP so less muscle contraction
31

32
Translation nucleic acid
mRNA
tRNA
rRNA
33

39
Describe how a sprinter is able to release sufficient energy for the 100m sprint without having enough oxygen available for her muscles.
```
Energy is obtained from ATP
ATP already in muscle cells in an ATP store
ATP from glycolysis/substrate level phosphorylation.
Glycolysis produces ATP rapidly
Some aerobic respiration due to some oxygen present
Glycolysis occurs in cytoplasm
Need to recycle NAD+
Pyruvate is converted to lactate
Anaerobic respiration
Lactate tolerance
Fast twitch muscle fibres
Creative phosphate.
```
40
Lactate (lactate acid) build-up may prevent further increase in speed.
Lactate build up causes drop in pH / more acidic/increase in H+
This affects enzyme activity shape
This slows down glycolysis/ATP production/ anaerobic respiration.
Muscle contractions being affected
41
Fate of lactate after sprint
```
Lactate in blood
Transported into broken down in liver
Lactate is converted to Pyruvate
This involves oxidation, reduced NAD production
Pyruvate is then oxidised
Kerbs cycle occurs
This required extra oxygen: there is an oxygen debt
Carbon dioxide and water are produced
```
42
Give reason why data reliable
Sample size large enough
Accurate measurements have been taken
Standard deviations are small
43
Men mean speed faster
Mean are faster than women
Due to differences in body structure : leg Ken have more muscle, longer legs, more fast twitch fibres
Physiological differences: testosterone
44
Mean speeds for the marathon are less than the 100m sprint for both men and women
```
Marathon distance is greater
More aerobic respiration needed
To reduce lactate production
Anaerobic respiration is not efficient enough
Oxygen debt
Cannot be sustained over this distance
Marathon runners use slow twitch fibres
```
45

Suggest a reason for absorbing Carbon dioxide in this apparatus
Reduces volume/ pressure of gas
| Allows measurement oxygen used due to movement of liquid
46

For calibration
To allow repetition
47
Describe how this apparatus could be used to measure the mean rate of respiration of woodlice
Constant temperature is used
A water bath is used
Over a fixed period of time, the measurement of volume /distance of coloured liquid is recorded
Rate can be calculated : divide the distance travelled by the fixed time, mm min-1
Replicates are obtained
A control is carried out e,g. With no woodlice
Animal welfare is important
Mass of woodlice should be recorded and kept constant where possible.
48

62
SAN ensures that oxygenated blood enters the aorta
Initiates electrical activity over atria
Causes atria to contract
Forcing the oxygenated blood into the left ventricle
Electrical activity from SAN received by AVN, travels through bundle His/ Purkyne fibres
Causing left ventricle to contract, forcing blood into aorta.
63
HR control during exercise
| Treadmill test
Increase in respiration in muscle cells
More CO2/ carbonic acid in blood
More lactate, lactic acid in blood
Chemoreceptors in medulla stimulated
Cardiovascular control centre in medulla
Autonomic nervous system/sympathetic nerve
More impulses from medulla, CV control centre to SAN
More noradrenaline, norepinephrine released onto SAN.

67
Physical and emotional experience: same area?
| Suitable scanning technique?
fMRI operates in real time
As experience will be short lived
Active areas will light up, be coloured, on the image
High resolution as areas involved may be small
Safer
68
Area just above hypothalamus
In middle of brain
69
Valid conclusion?
Conclusion is valid
Because mean feeling scores similar for both
Difference between postive and negative scores are similar
SD as a measure of variation from the mean
Sad similar physical and emotional when experience is positive
Overlap for positive and negative
70
Effect of light in retina
Retina in dark for two hours
Recovery by rod cell pigment from bleaching
Rod cells during two hours of darkness
Opsin uncouples from the rod cell surface membrane
Trans retinal converts to cis retinal
Rhodopsin is reformed from posing and retinal
This results in dark adaptation
Permeability of the cell surface membrane to Na+ increases - Na+ channels open
Hyperpolarisation of cell decreases
More neurotransmitter is released
71
Light intensity on mean peak voltage of depolarisation (mV)
up to 9AU
The greater the light intensity, the less neurotransmitter there is binding to the neurone present.
Inhibition is removed: more Na+ channels open more Na+ diffuses into neurone
So peak voltage of depolarisation becomes more positive
At high light intensities from 9AU
No NT binding
Sufficient Na+ enters
So action potential achieved
72
Objections to use of rats
Rats have rights - lack of consent given
Rats made blind, harmed, causes pain, may require killing
15 samples may not be sufficient for a reliable investigation
Rat retina may not behave like human retina so investigation has no potential medical application. Tissue culture is available.
73
Respiration experiment
Anaerobic respiration
Absent KOH solution
What does the coloured liquid do?
Colour liquid does not move.
| No O2 or CO2 production.
74
Aerobic respiration
KOH absent
What does liquid do?
Does not move
CO2 produced replaces O2
75
Aerobic resp
| Present KOH
Coloured liquid moved to left, towards organism
76
Colour liquid does not move.
No O2 or CO2 production.
Explain investigation 1
Anaerobic
No KOH
As anaerobic no O2 absorbed
No CO2 produced
So no change in volume pressure so liquid does not move
Since for each 6C glucose respired, 2x3C lactate formed
77
Aerobic respiration 2 and 3 : reduced NAD formed (NADH2+/NADH + H+)
Its fate?
Reduced NAD from glycolysis enters mitochondria, moves through outer mitochondrial membrane
Moves to inner membrane of mitochondrion
Becomes oxidised/NAD/NAD+
As electrons transferred to electron transport transport chain
Fate of hydrogen ions: pumped into membrane space.
NAD returns to Krebs cycle/ matrix
78
Invest 3 aerobic clip closed
| Used for rate resp experiment with two different tissues
Same mass of each tissue
| Time being recorded for a set distance travelled by coloured liquid or distance coloured liquid travelled in a set time
79
EPO increases red blood cells
| EPO less effect on sprinters: fast twitch fibres
RBC will carry and supply oxygen
Low number of mitochondria present in fast twitch
So additional oxygen may have limited additional effect
Poor blood supply/capillary network in fast twitch muscle so little additional oxygen, RBC, received
In fast twitch respiration is primarily anaerobic
Short time duration of race,distance travelled means minimal additional blood supplied to muscles in timeframe
80
Ethical reasons to ban performing enhancing drugs

84
Describe increase in heart rate
| In O2 uptake and ventilation rate
There is little difference in ventilation rate does not increases as much
Oxygen uptake increases
85
Increased heart rate leads to increased O2 uptake
There is more blood passing through lungs
Oxygen diffuses into blood
Diffusion gradient being maintained
Oxygen diffuses in faster
86
Conclusions
Increased hear rate from 50 to 109 increases oxygen uptake, increases ventilation rate less
Heart rate has a greater effect on oxygen uptake than in ventilation rate

Depends on diffusion rate, molecular sze
Oxidation level of substrate e.g H:O ration in molecule
Relative quantity of reduced coenzyme produces
pH effect of Pyruvate more favourable for enzyme
More carbon atoms, faster O2 uptake
101
Lactate rapid O2 uptake
Lactate can be converted to Pyruvate
Increases oxygen requirement - oxygen debt
Most potential for oxidation - can make the most reduced coenzyme
