Aerobic and anaerobic Metabolism
Aerobic and anaerobic Metabolism Phosphagen (ATP - CP) System ATP ADP + P + Energy CP C + P + Energy (rebound ADP and P to ATP) most rapid means of replenishing ATP in the muscle cell
Anaerobic Anaerobic Glycolysis System – oxygen debt Glucose (C6H12O6)n Lactic acid (2C3H6O3) + E Energy + 3ADP + 3P 3ATP Aerobic Reaction – steady state C16H32O2 (carbohydrates and fatty acids) + 23O2 16CO2 + 16H2O + Energy 130 ADP + 130P + Energy 130ATP
