Atp Energy System
1) Discuss the three energy systems that are responsible for the production of ATP.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the immediately usable form of chemical energy use for muscular activity. It is stored in most cells, especially muscle cells. Other forms of chemical energy, such as that available from foods we eat must be transforming into ATP before they can be utilized by muscle cells .
Human body cells generated ATP by three methods which are: I. ATP-PC system II. Glycolytic system III. Oxidative system
ATP-PC System (Anaerobic ATP production)
This system also known as phosphagen system, which is the simplest of the energy system. it is the formation of ATP by Phosphocreatine (PC) breakdown. PC is a high-energy phosphate molecule that store in the muscle cells. Energy is release when PC is breakdown to Pі and Creatine by enzyme Creatine Kinase. Then, PC will be simply …show more content…
* In Aerobic glycolysis, glucose or glycogen is broken down to pyruvic acid via glycolitic enzymes during carbohydrate metabolism. Hydrogen is released and glucose is metabolized to pyruvic acid. In the presence of oxygen, the pyruvic acid is converted into acetyl coenzyme A. (Acetyl CoA). 1 mole of glucose produce 2 moles of ATP or 1 mole of glycogen produces 3 moles of ATP. * In the Kreb Cycle system, once the acetyl CoA is formed, it enters the krebs cycle, a complex series of chemical reactions that permit the complete oxidation of acetyl coenzyme A. in this process, the carbohydrate has been broken down into carbon and hydrogen. The remaining carbon then combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. The hydrogen ion released conbines with 2 coenzymes which are NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ) and FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide) to enter electron transport chain. At the end of krebs cycle, 2moles of ATP will be
