ATP-PC energy system

?
Define energy
the capacity of the body to preform work
1 of 11
What food fuel is used in the ATP-PC system?
Phosphocreatine
2 of 11
Energy is released when..
Adenosine Triphophate (ATP) is broken down into Adenosine Diphosphate and an inorganic phosphate molecule (ADP + Pi)
3 of 11
Where does the ATP-PC system reaction occur?
Sarcoplasm of muscle cells
4 of 11
Two advantages of ATP-PC system
no by-products - immediate release of energy - no oxygen required - rapid resysnthesis - PC stores replenished with 2-3mins after exercise -
5 of 11
Two disadvantagea of the ATP-PC system
Only lasts 10seconds before fatigue occurs - limited supply of PC - resynthesis of PC can only happen when Oxygen is present (at rest) - 1:1 yield
6 of 11
What is the energy yield of the ATP-PC system?
1ATP per phosphocreatine (PC) molecule
7 of 11
How is ATP resysthesised?
Chemoreceptors detect increased levels of ADP - creatine kinase is released - breaksdown phosphocreatine releasing Phosphate molecule - phosphate binds with ADP
8 of 11
Why is ATP-PC system a coupled reaction?
Breaking down ATP is exothermic - resysthesis is endothermic
9 of 11
What are the affects of training on ATP-PC system
Increase in ATP / PC stores (increase time you can work at maximal effort) - faster detection of ADP - lactic threshold is delayed - increase in maximal power output
10 of 11
What are the controlling enzymes of the ATP-PC system
ATPase, Creatine kinase
