Introduction to Energy Systems
2
A note about labs Bench press bar = 10 kg Need to go through and complete bothe the results and questions for the lab, and Fitness prescription for your “athlete” Next week carb loaders

WebCT Discussion boards Week 2 Links Lectures
4
Today Focus on What is energy How is food energy Basics catabolism and anabolism Anaerobic synthesis ATP Aerobic synthesis ATP
5
Types of energy Chemical Mechanical Heat Light Electric Nuclear
6
Laws of Thermodynamics energy transfer always proceeds in the direction of increased entropy and the release of free energy 1- Energy cannot be created or destroyed Chemical energy mechanical energy
7
Definitions Enzymes Highly specific protein catalysts Accelerate the forward and reverse reactions Are neither consumed nor changed in the reaction Coenzymes Complex nonprotein organic substances facilitate enzyme action by binding the substrate with its specific enzyme
8
Catabolism : Metabolic pathways that break down molecules into smaller units and release energy Catabolism and Anabolism +
9
Overview of Catabolism GlucoseFFA’sAmino acids glycolysis mitochondria - oxidation TCA Cycle deamination NH 2 NADH + H + FADH + H + CO 2 Acetyl CoA Electron Transport Chain Figure 3.4, simplified
10
Anabolism Covalent bonding of electrons, protons and small molecules to produce larger molecules building up - Catabolism and anabolism function in a dynamic balance. Anna
11
Adenosine Triphosphate Powers all of cell’s energy-requiring processes Potential energy extracted from food Energy is stored in bonds of ATP 80-100g is stored
12
Adenosine Diphosphate ADP is ATP minus one phosphate group 14 calories of energy is released each time ATP ADP
13
Remember the Spare Phosphate?? The Spare P that was released from ATP ADP hooks up with Creatine to form … Creatine Phosphate (CrP) Cells store ~ 4 – 6 times more PCr than ATP
14
ATP-PC system Anaerobic resynthesis of ATP- 5-8 seconds of energy Hydrolyzed by the enzyme, creatine kinase ADP is phosphorylated to ATP Creatine may be phosphorylated back to PCr
21
Citric Acid Cycle Also known as the TCA cycle, or Krebs cycle Continues oxidation of Carbohydrates following glycolysis Fatty acids following beta oxidation Some amino acids following deamination
23
Summary Energy is never created nor destroyed. Complex chemical process synthesize glucose/ glycogen from our foods Stored as glycogen if not needed Anaerobic ATP-PC system Aerobic Citric acid/ Kreb’s cycle
