This system works to perform anaerobic glycolysis to create ATP. The main fuel source for this system is glucose/glycogen. We store glucose in our muscles as glycogen and this is then used to create ATP. When glucose/glycogen is broken down by anaerobic glycolysis the end product is pyruvate/pyruvic acid. As there is no oxygen available the pyruvate joins with the surrounding hydrogen atoms to become lactic acid.

is because the low levels of the insulin in the body causes the kidneys to shed an excessive amount of sodium. Moreover‚ the carbs in the bodies are stored in the form of glycogen. The glycogen binds water molecules to the liver and muscles. When the level of the carbohydrates reduces in the blood stream‚ the amount of glycogen automatically reduces‚ bringing the level of water down with it. The initial reduction in the intake of the carbohydrates leads the

Discuss and compare the relevance to the three energy systems for the sport of your choice‚ explain the details of each system? The body has only one unsuitable form of energy‚ this is known as ATP. ATP releases energy when broken down and is essential to the flow of energy to living cells. It can be re synthesized through a possible three energy systems; ATP-PC system‚ the glycolytic Lactic Acid system and the aerobic system.

Optimal strength and endurance during your workouts it is very important that these glycogen supplies are completely restored before starting a new workout. The best moment to replenish exhausted glycogen supplies is during the first 2 hours after the workout.

The Basic Mechanisms of Homeostasis Overview of homeostasis The term homeostasis was first coined by Walter Cannon in 1929 to literally mean ‘steady state’. It describes the dynamic equilibrium by which internal constancy is maintained within set limits by regulation and control. There are many examples of homeostatic control throughout the human body and in other living organisms‚ such as pH‚ pressure‚ and temperature. A concept important to homeostasis is the process of feedback circuits;

Actual Mechanism of Heat Loss during Exercise High heat and humidity reduce body’s ability to lose heat by radiation or convection and evaporation. While exercising‚ the heat production within muscle and it is transfer from the core to the skin. Under appropriate environmental conditions‚ excess body heat dissipates to the environment which regulates the core temperature within a narrow range. During exercise in the heat‚ the heat loss mechanisms compete with the active muscles for more of the

and lactose. Polysaccharides are the long chains of monosaccharide‚ which is called the polymer of carbohydrates. Monosaccharide and disaccharides can be tested by the Benedict’s test‚ as they are reducing sugars. Polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen can be tested by the iodine test. Also‚ carbohydrates are consumed to provide energy to our body and they are useful in metabolism. Therefore‚ it is one of the essential macromolecule that we have to consume. 2.

The importance of carbohydrates in living organisms Carbohydrates contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio of 1.2.1.. There are many different types of carbohydrate‚ all of which are useful to living organisms. The most important carbohydrate is probable glucose. Glucose is a monosaccharide and is the monomer unit which makes up more complex polysaccharides. Two glucose molecules can be joined in a condensation reaction‚ whereby water is removed‚ for example to produce maltose‚ a disaccharide
