What does ATP stand for? |
Adenosine Triphosphate |
|
|
Describe Anabolism in Energy Metabolism |
The endergonic (energy using) reactions that synthesise complex molecules from simpler molecules |
|
|
Describe Catabolism In Metabolism. |
Catabolism are the exergonic (energy yielding) reactions that create simple molecules from more complex molecules |
|
|
Describe the turnover of ATP |
ATP turnover is the removing and adding of phosphate molecules for the purpose of yielding, storing, and transferring energy. These are broadly categorised into anabolic and catabolic reactions |
|
|
Describe ATP in the context of exercise metabolism |
ATP is the common chemical intermediate used to power muscle contractions and other forms of cellular work |
|
|
The breaking of a phosphate bond from ATP yields how much energy (in KCal) |
7Kcal |

|
What is ATP homeostasis? |
The biological process that coordinates homeostatic regulation of food intake and energy expenditure |
