The ATP/CP Energy Pathway

Decent Essays
The ATP/CP Energy Pathway is the first pathway used by the body to create ATP. The ATP/CP Energy Pathway is used for short term high intensity activities. Typically, the energy created via this pathway is completely depleted after 60 seconds. It takes approximately 8 minutes to replenish. The initial workout to utilize the ATP/CP Energy Pathway would would consist of a very fast sprints on a treadmill, track, or outside of 5-15 seconds with a 4 minute rest to allow time for the energy to be replenished. I would start the exercise routine with a 5 x 10 second top speed sprint with 4 minutes of rest between sprints. The Glycolytic Path is the second fastest pathway for making energy that our body utilizes. The Glycolytic Pathway uses a high

    I predict also a higher rep count during stage 1 (aerobic exercise) as a pose to during stage 2 (anaerobic exercise). Cellular respiration is the process of energy production and consumption within the body and during cellular respiration there are many bonds being broken of sugars and ATP. I felt warmer after lifting the dumbbell because whenever a bond is broken, energy is released in the form of heat as a by-product to normal energy. Oxygen is a vital part to cellular respiration and oxidative phosphorylation because without it there would be no hydrogen ions being pumped across to form ATP. In aerobic respiration, approximately 30 ATP’s are created whereas in anaerobic only 2 are created because of the lack of oxygen.…

    The citric acid cycle generates energy from the oxidation of various fuel molecules to acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA). Acetyl CoA undergoes several redox, hydration and decarboxylation reactions to produce carbon dioxide (CO2), reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), reduced flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2), adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and hydrogen ions. The citric acid cycle links glycolysis which produces pyruvate from glucose and oxidative phosphorylation which generates ATP which is used as energy for metabolic processes. The citric acid cycle is catabolic and anabolic. Fuel molecules are catabolised (broken down) to generate ATP.…

    The Great Metabolic Race Ben Yu People are constantly going through a wide variety of chemical pathways and reactions to help them maintain consciousness. The pathways and reactions vary depending on one’s physical state and time. The metabolism of an athlete at the start of a race, after five minutes and after forty-five minutes can be observed, as the ratio of lipids and carbohydrates vary depending on the time of the race. Due to the different energy densities and the body’s varying abilities to oxidise glucose, they dominate over each other at different times during the race as they are the most dominant energy source. Energy is also produced for the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), through the catabolism of carbohydrates and…

    1.4.9 Kinetics and metabolism Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons are lipophilic compounds that are readily absorbed from the lungs following inhalation, the gastrointestinal (GI) tract following ingestion and the skin following dermal exposure (ASTDR, 1995). In humans, it was reported that B(a)P measured in the lungs following inhalation of soot particles was much lower than expected. This may be due to the ability of the pulmonary epithelial cells to metabolise B(a)P thereby facilitating its absorption and clearance from the lungs (IPCS, 1998). Occupational studies have inferred that inhaled PAHs are absorbed by humans, as urinary metabolites were present in workers exposed to PAHs (ASTDR, 1998). The absorption of B(a)P following inhalation is highly dependent on the type of particles onto which it is adsorbed.…

    It only produces a limited amount of ATP and doesn't last a significant amount of time without the build-up of lactic acid, which is formed after free hydrogen ions bind with pyruvic acid. This contributes to a rise in acidity of the tissue, reducing the effectiveness of the respiration enzymes and subsequently reducing the amount of energy that can be…

    Oxidative phosphorylation is the aerobic process where carbohydrates, fats, and protein are broken down to produce ATP. On the other hand, glycolysis is an anaerobic process which means it does not use oxygen. This process converts glucose into pyruvate, then converted into acetyl CoA or lactate. If oxygen is not present or a very small amount, the lactic acid cycle begins and three molecules of ATP are produced. The end to this process causes soreness and fatigue.…

    Adequate availability of NADH is essential for a cell to perform its core functions properly (Casem, 2016; Khan et al., 2007). The energy generated from NADH during various processes, such as oxidative phosphorylation, is stored as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP serves as the vital energy source of the cell.…

    This system will breakdown and resynthesize ADP into ATP at a faster rate to perform the Wingate in 15 seconds. The ATP-PCR system is very immediate and stores higher energy bonds than glycoysis. ATP-PCr is used for the beginning of the exercise for a high intensity activity. Being that this duration is 15 seconds, the body will need energy at a faster rate to produce ATP. Glycolysis will not be included in this particular test, due to rapid amount of energy is needed.…

    Cellular Respiration is a reaction which occurs within cells and organisms and this process allows energy to be stored in the new bonds of glucose which also produces ATP also known as “adenosine triphosphate power”. After this; it will start to produce waste products. ATP is known as adenosine triphosphate and is the main transfer of energy within the molecules in the cell. Once the bond of glucose is broken, the energy is released. This forms ADP + Pi which uses energy to chemically combine through energy being put into it.…

    5.0 Discussion 5.1 Adenosine Triphosphate System In touch football there are three systems used throughout the duration of the game these are the ATP system (Adenosine Triphosphate), the Lactic Acid system (anaerobic glycolysis) and the final system the Aerobic system. ATP doesn’t exist in the muscles and tissues waiting to supply abundant amounts of energy (Hede, Russell and Weatherby), ATP is a chain consisting of three phosphate groups. To produce energy the phosphate chain breaks and one phosphate group is broken off to produce this energy needed for movement. In breaking the phosphate chain, energy is used to allow the production of energy as the end product (Personal training direct, 2014).…

    In this assignment I will be explaining the physiology of two body systems, the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system in the relation to energy metabolism in the body. Energy metabolism is where energy is generated from nutrients and delivered to the organs around the body. Energy is needed in the body in order muscular movement, circulation of the blood, lymph and tissue fluid, breathing process, cell growth and repair, the transition of nerve impulses and for the building of different complex molecules. The cardiovascular system There are four major functions of the cardiovascular system, these include: the transportation of nutrients, gases and waste products around the body, the protection of the body from infections and blood…

    A midfielder for soccer needs to have high Cardio Respiratory Endurance, Muscular Endurance, Agility and Speed, in order to play out a full game and play to the best of their ability. Health related components of fitness are components that improve day-to-day life and reduce injury. Cardio Respiratory Endurance is the bodies’ ability to work continuously for an extended period of time at submaximal level for example marathon running. This would be important in a game of soccer, as the midfield player needs to be able to play out the duration of the game without getting fatigued and without decreasing performance having a high percentage of type 1A muscle fibers would greatly benefit someone who wanted to improve their cardio respiratory endurance.…

    All three energy systems “make a contribution to exercise,” but the ATP-PCr system generates about fifty percent of the energy used in soccer. Together the glycolytic and oxidative systems are evenly responsible for the remaining sixty percent of energy used. In soccer, players alternate between sprinting and walking, so it is understandable that the ATP-PCr is responsible for such a vast amount of energy. The ATP-PCr system normally lasts for “3 to 15 s”, which would allow a player to “perform short bursts of intense running” (Kenney, W., Wilmore, J., Costil, D., 2015b, p.p. 58; Clark, 2016).…
