Adenosine triphosphate

Homeostasis - Blood Glucose Regulation Homeostasis refers to the (relatively) constant physiological state of the body despite fluctuations in the external environment. Homeostasis maintains a relatively constant physiological state by keeping functions such as temperature, blood pressure, pH levels, glucose concentration and many more of the body’s systems at safe levels. For example if a person has low or high blood sugar (hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia) their internal state is in danger…

they can have a larger anaerobic capacity. This enables them to recover from their explosive movements faster and more efficiently. Because of the need for anaerobic power, the energy system that is used is the ATP-PC system. This system uses adenosine triphosphate, and phosphocreatine. The energy system provides direct energy through the breakdown of stored, high energy…

UNIT 11 ASSIGNMENT 2 Anjelina Qureshi P3 Average Beats per Minute I took 3 reading of my beats per minute (BPM) to ensure I got an accurate result. I took 3 readings of 30 seconds and then multiplied them by 2 to get 3 readings of 60 seconds. I took my readings whilst sitting down and not talking having not done any physical activity (walking etc.) in the 10 minutes before I took my readings. Repeats Beats per 30 seconds Beats per minute 1 35 70 2 38 76 3 42 84 Mean 38.3 76.6 Decline of…
