When we run out of ATP, we must then turn to another compound to provide energy? Choose one from the list below.
Glycogen
Adenosine Diphosphate
Creatine Phosphate
Glucose
When Creatine Phosphate is split into a separate C+P, it releases energy for which of the following?
Muscular Contraction
Remove Lactic Acid from Muscles
Re-Synthesize ATP
When a compound is broken down, releasing energy, what is it known as?
Exothermic Reaction
Endothermic Reaction
Coupled Reaction
When ATP has been re-synthesized, what happens next?
Lactic Acid is produced
Aerobic System is activated
ATP is broken down once again, releasing energy for muscular contraction
Nothing
What is a common feature of both the ATP-CP system and the Lactic Acid energy systems?
Lactic Acid is produced
Both systems take the same period of time to recover
ATP is re-synthesized anaerobically
The accumulation of lactic acid in the working muscles causes fatigue
