What is the most reliable and valid test of a basketball player’s leg power?

Back

Vertical jump is the most reliable and valid test of a basketball player’s leg power.

Front

What are the products of anaerobic glycolysis?

Back

The products of anaerobic glycolysis are 2 ATP per glucose molecule and lactic acid.

Front

What is lipolysis?

Back

Lipolysis is the process where one triglyceride breaks down to form glycerol and three fatty acids.

Front

Which energy system is the fastest to resynthesize ATP?

Back

The creatine phosphate system is the fastest to resynthesize ATP.

Front

Define cell respiration.

Back

Cell respiration is the controlled release of energy from organic compounds in the form of ATP.

Front

What is anaerobic glycolysis?

Back

Anaerobic glycolysis is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose into energy without the use of oxygen, producing 2 ATP and lactic acid.

Front

What is the role of ATP in cellular processes?

Back

ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell, providing energy for various biochemical reactions.

Front

Explain the difference between aerobic and anaerobic respiration.

Back

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen and produces more ATP (34-36 ATP), while anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen and produces less ATP (2 ATP) along with lactic acid.

Front

What is the function of creatine phosphate in energy production?

Back

Creatine phosphate acts as a rapid source of energy to regenerate ATP from ADP during high-intensity activities.

Front

What is the significance of lactic acid in exercise?

Back

Lactic acid is a byproduct of anaerobic glycolysis and can lead to muscle fatigue during intense exercise.
