Energy Systems Exam Questions And
Answers 100% Pass.
Energy for all movements and activity comes from the breakdown of - Answer✔Adenosine
Triphosphate
Chemical fuel stored at the muscles that can readily be broken down to release energy and
recharge ATP
Attaches itself to ADP to reform ATP (add a phosphate group) - Answer✔Phospho creatine
ATP-PC
Anaerobic Glycolysis - Answer✔Anaerobic systems
Fat, carbohydrates and protein - Answer✔Energy sources to replenish ATP
Preferred exercise fuels
Easier to break down than fats and proteins
Require less oxygen - Answer✔Carbohydrates
Cake, candy, sugar - Answer✔Simple carbohydrates
Breads, pasta, rice - Answer✔Complex carbohydrates
Cake, candy, sugar - Answer✔High GI
Breads, pasta, rice - Answer✔Low GI
Broken down at rest
Ideal fuel for prolonged exercise as they contain large quantities of energy per unit
TOO SLOW FOR VERY INTENSIVE ACTIVITY
Must be reduced to simpler components of triglycerides and free fatty acids - Answer✔Fats
Used during prolonged activity
Must be broken down into amino acids then converted into glucose
