AQA A2 energy systems

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
Why must glycogen also be present when using fats and a fuel source?   Transport of fatty acids slow due to poor solubility, therefore arrive at muscle in insufficient quantities to sustain contraction  
🗑
What are the three energy systems used by the body to resynthesis ATP?   ATP-PC (alactic system) lactic acid system aerobic (oxidative) system  
🗑
Who would use the ATP-PC system?   100m sprinter gymnast performing a vault activity that last 10 seconds or less  
🗑
What type of activity might use predominantly the lactic acid system   400m/ squash rally high intensity activity that lasts 1-2 minutes  
🗑
How many ATP molecules does the lactic acid system produce?   two  
🗑
What fuel sources might the aerobic system use?   Glycogen fats protein  
🗑
What are the two key stages in aerobic systems that occur in the mitochondria?   Krebs’s cycle electron transfer system  
🗑
What events take place in the Krebs’s cycle   Oxidation of acetyl-coenzyme-A production of CO2 resynthesis of ATP  
🗑
What events take place in the electron transfer system   Water is formed / resynthesis of ATP  
🗑
Advantages of Aerobic system   More ATP resynthesis compared to anaerobic Body has substantial stores of glycogen and triglycerides oxidation of glycogen & triglycerides produces no fatiguing by products  
🗑
Disadvantages of aerobic system   Takes time to supply sufficient O2 for some activities fatty acids require more oxygen fatty acids slow transport need for glycogen as well as fats due to poor solubility.  
🗑
Disadvantages of LA system   Accumulation of lactic acid making enzymes acidic inhibits energy production activity must reduce in intensity or stopped to remove LA small amount of energy inside glycogen molecule can be released  
🗑
Advantages of LA system   ATP resynthesis relatively quickly anaerobic does not need to wait for O2 lactic acid can be converted back into liver glycogen or pyruvate and enters aerobic system Lactic acid system can be used for a burst of energy in endurance events  
🗑
Advantage of ATP-PC system   Rapid resynthesis PCr stores recovered quickly anaerobic process does not need to wait for O2 no fatiguing by products  
🗑
Disadvantages of ATP-PC system   Limited supply of PCr (10seconds) Resynthesis of PCr only when sufficient O2 present only 1 mole of ATP can be recycled by 1 mole of PCr  
🗑
How many ATP molecules doe s the ATP-PC system produce   One  
🗑
How many ATP molecules does the aerobic system produce   38  
🗑
The ATP PC system how long will it last and type of intensity?   8-10 seconds high intensity  
🗑
The Aerobic system how long will it last and type of intensity?   over 3 minutes low intensity  
🗑
The Lactic acid system how long will it last and type of intensity?   up to 3 minutes medium to high intensity  
🗑
What fuels sources i used by ATP-PC system   Phosphocreatine  
🗑
What fuels sources can be used by the aerobic system   Glycogen and Fats  
🗑
Name the two anaerobic energy systems   Lactic acid and ATP-PC  
🗑
ATP is broken down into what to produce energy?   ADP  
🗑
How many ATP molecules produced in Krebs cycle?   2  
🗑
How many ATP molecules produced in Electron transfer chain?   34  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
