Marathon runners often practice "carb loading" prior to a race. The purpose of this practice is to increase the stores of energy available for muscles to use. Explain how energy is used by muscle fibers and how this practice of "card loading" benefits the runner's muscles. Be sure to use the terms glucose, glycogen, creatine, phosphate, and ATP in the explanation.
In human resting muscle cells, the concentration of ATP is 4 mM, ADP is 0.013 mM, creatine-phosphate is 25 mM and creatine is 13 mM. Calculate the ΔG for the formation of creatine phosphate from ATP and creatine in kJ/mol and do not include unit in your answer.
Discuss briefly (in less than 100 words) the practice of carbohydrate loading for endurance in aerobic exercise. What is the role of glycogen metabolism (glycogenesis and glycogenolysis) and glycolysis in carbohydrate loading? Why is this practice more productive than usual without carbohydrate loading?
If Sarah 74 kg walks for 32 minutes at 0.6 miles per hour on a level track ( 1% grade), how many calories will she "burn"? (no decimal places)
If Eric ran at 80% of his aerobic capacity for 1.5hrs/day, 3 days per week, how many MET-min per week would he be accumulating?
A student weighing 700 N took a weight management course with a Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) of 1500 kcal, which is 20% of their total daily fat intake. If a student consumed 40.0 g of fat in a day, how many minutes would the student perform sitting exercises at the rate of 1 time per second? (Up-down counts as 1 time) to burn excess fat received if each time the center of gravity shifts to a distance of H = 50.0 cm, as shown in the figure, muscle efficiency is 25% and fat 1.0 g provides 9.0 energy. kcal (1 kcal = 4184 J) CG CG
What would be the ATP yield per molecule of glucose in the muscle if glycogen were the source of the glucose?
Which of the following is the correct summary of the anaerobic breakdown of glucose in the skeletal muscle? Glucose + ADP + Pi ⟶ lactate + ATP Glucose + 2ADP + 2Pi ⟶ 2 lactate + 2ATP Glucose + 2ADP + 2Pi + 2NAD+ ⟶ 2 pyruvate + 2ATP + 2NADH + 2H+ Glucose + ADP + Pi ⟶ pyruvate + ATP Glucose + 2ADP + 2Pi ⟶ 2 pyruvate + 2ATP
Skeletal muscles account for approximately 43% of the typical body mass. At rest, they use about 18% of the BMR. Of the total energy burned by the skeletal muscle, only 25% is used for work, and this is the muscular efficiency. What happens to the remaining 75% of energy? Choose the best answer. It is reabsorbed and stored for later use. It is transferred as electrical energy from the muscle to muscle. It is converted to heat to warm the body. It is used to make more ATP.
Select the best answer or answers from the choices given: The net gain of ATP from the complete metabolism (aerobic) of glucose is closest to (a) 2, (b) 30, (c) 3, (d) 4.
Since ancient times it has been observed that certain game birds, such as grouse, quail, and pheasants, are easily fatigued. The Greek historian Xenophon wrote: “The bustards . . . can be caught if one is quick in starting them up, for they will fly only a short distance, like partridges, and soon tire; and their flesh is delicious.” The flight muscles of game birds rely almost entirely on the use of glucose 1-phosphate for energy, in the form of ATP . The glucose 1-phosphate is formed by the breakdown of stored muscle glycogen, catalyzed by the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase. The rate of ATP production is limited by the rate at which glycogen can be broken down. During a “panic flight,” the game bird’s rate ofglycogen breakdown is quite high, approximately 120 mmol/min of glucose 1-phosphate produced per gram of fresh tissue. Given that the flight muscles usually contain about 0.35% glycogen by weight, calculate how long a game bird can fly. (Assume the average molecular weight of a…
