receptors ENERGY TRANSFERS WHICH TAKE PLACE INSIDE LIVING ORGANISMS Living organisms including all plants and animals require energy for their cellular processes. In biological processes‚ the immediate energy source is often in the form adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The nucleotide ATP maintains both catabolic and anabolic reactions. An example of a catabolic reaction is respiration where large molecules are broken down into smaller ones with energy released. An example of an anabolic reaction is

ATP PC System is the breakdown of adenosine and three phosphate molecules known as triphosphate when adenosine splits energy is created by the ATPase breaking the high energy bonds holding the ATP together. Then a PC phosphor creating a phosphate and creating break to create the energy to fix the ADP back to the PC. It lasts

energy and one uses less energy (or stored energy) and no oxygen. This biological molecule is used to store energy. When the chlorophyll takes in the sunlight’s energy it then turns it into chemical energy‚ like glucose‚ simple sugars and ATP (Adenosine triphosphate)‚ which is in all living cells. In the absence of oxygen‚ the anaerobic cellular respiration occurs which is called fermentation. In anaerobic respiration produces ethyl alcohol (Audesirk‚ et al‚ 2008‚ p.58). We use fermentation as a

human life‚ as noted by Johnson (2010)‚ “every oxygen atom in the air we breathe was once part of a water molecule‚ liberated by photosynthesis” (pg. 100). Along with oxygen‚ people need food for fuel. Plants and people both utilize the adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Once ATP is generated in plants‚ it is further processed into sugars where the energy is used or stored. Humans generate ATP during the process of cellular respiration‚ where food energy from glucose is combined with oxygen. In essence

how VO²max affects performance?” VO2 max is the highest rate at which oxygen can be taken up and utilized during exercise by a person. For optimal performance‚ the working muscles need a constant supply of oxygen to provide energy or ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) to initiate movement. Maximal oxygen intake can have significant effects on an individual’s performance. The amount of oxygen the muscles receive impacts upon one’s performance. Take two athletes for example; the first athlete has a higher

education we have been learning the use of the three energy systems and how they are used in the game of touch football and how they function together. To understand the energy systems‚ our class went through a number of fitness tests. The Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) stores in the muscle and lasts for approximately 2 seconds and the resynthesis of ATP from Creatine Phosphate (CP) will continue until CP stores are used up‚ which is approximately 4-6 seconds. This gives us around 5-10 seconds of ATP

of the blood. To compensate‚ the brain sends chemical and electrical impulses to the muscles. These impulses tell the muscles to begin to contract and relax at very high intervals. This is commonly known as shivering. The production of Adenosine Triphosphate or ATP in the mitochondria of the muscles produces heat. If the body temperature does not rise immediately after this‚ then a second function begins. The brain will signal the blood vessels near the skin to constrict or narrow in diameter
