Question
Chapter 2, Problem 14SAE
Summary Introduction
To review:
The kind of energy involved in chewing food, sending a nerve impulse, bending the fingers to make a fist, and breaking the bonds of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to energize muscle cells while making a fist.
Introduction:
The ability to perform or conduct any kind of work is known as energy. It has no mass and occupies no space in the universe. Energy is always associated with matter. Energy may be converted into various forms, but the parent energies are potential and kinetic energies.

Name and describe the essential characteristics of the three energy systems (remember to include the enzymes.
Name the primary sources of ATP for:a. Immediate energy for a few secondsb. Energy extending to about 15 secondsc. Energy for up to 1 minute.d. Energy extending for around an hour of exercise and beyond.
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.
