- ATP-PC System
- breakdown of PC gives off energy
- broken down by enzyme creatine kinase
- P+C+energy (exothermic)
- energy+ADP+P=ATP (endothermic)
- Coupled reaction
- P+C+energy (exothermic)
- energy+ADP+P=ATP (endothermic)
- Coupled reaction
- ATP - ATPase = energy for movement
- Coupled reaction
- energy+ADP+P=ATP (endothermic)
- P+C+energy (exothermic)
- ATP - ATPase = energy for movement
- Coupled reaction
- energy+ADP+P=ATP (endothermic)
- 2 ATP produced
- Advantages
- energy is released rapidly
- quick resynthesis of ATP
- no waste products
- oxygen is not required
- energy is released rapidly
- Disadvantages
- stores of PC are limited
- sufficient for only 5-8 secs of intense exercise
- refuelling the system can take up to 3mins
- only provides energy for up to 10 secs
- stores of PC are limited
- breakdown of PC gives off energy
