Introduction
• Metabolism
– Sum of all chemical reactions that occur in the
body
– Anabolic reactions
• Synthesis of molecules
– Catabolic reactions
• Breakdown of molecules
• Bioenergetics
– Converting foodstuffs (fats, proteins,
carbohydrates) into energy
Cell Structure
• Cell membrane
– Semipermeable membrane that separates the
cell from the extracellular environment
• Nucleus
– Contains genes that regulate protein synthesis
• Cytoplasm
– Fluid portion of cell
– Contains organelles
• Mitochondria

Cellular Chemical Reactions
• Endergonic reactions
– Require energy to be added
• Exergonic reactions
– Release energy
• Coupled reactions
– Liberation of energy in an exergonic reaction
drives an endergonic reaction

Coupled Reactions
Figure 3.4
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
• Oxidation
– Removing an electron
• Reduction
– Addition of an electron
• Oxidation and reduction are always coupled reactions
• Often involves the transfer of hydrogen atoms rather than
free electrons
– Hydrogen atom contains one electron
– A molecule that loses a hydrogen also loses an electron
and therefore is oxidized
Oxidation-Reduction Reaction involving
NAD and NADH

Enzymes
• Catalysts that regulate the speed of
reactions
– Lower the energy of activation
• Factors that regulate enzyme activity
– Temperature
– pH
• Interact with specific substrates
– Lock and key model

Classification of Enzymes
• Oxidoreductases
– Catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions
• Transferases
– Transfer elements of one molecule to another
• Hydrolases
– Cleave bonds by adding water
• Lyases
– Groups of elements are removed to form a double bond or added to
a double bond
• Isomerases
– Rearrangement of the structure of molecules
• Ligases
– Catalyze bond formation between substrate molecules

Factors That Alter Enzyme Activity
• Temperature
– Small rise in body temperature increases
enzyme activity
• pH
– Changes in pH reduces enzyme activity

Enzyme Activity

Fuels for Exercise
• Carbohydrates
– Glucose
– Glycogen
• Storage form of glucose in liver and muscle
• Fats
– Fatty acids
– Triglycerides
• Storage form of fat in muscle and adipose tissue
• Proteins
– Not a primary energy source during exercise
High-Energy Phosphates
• Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
– Consists of adenine, ribose, and three linked
phosphates
• Synthesis
ADP + Pi  ATP
• Breakdown
ATP
ATPase
ADP + Pi + Energy

Bioenergetics
• Formation of ATP
– Phosphocreatine (PC) breakdown
– Degradation of glucose and glycogen
• Glycolysis
– Oxidative formation of ATP
• Anaerobic pathways
– Do not involve O2
– PC breakdown and glycolysis
• Aerobic pathways
– Require O2
– Oxidative phosphorylation
Anaerobic ATP Production
• ATP-PC system
– Immediate source of ATP
PC + ADP
Creatine kinase
ATP + C
• Glycolysis
– Glucose  2 pyruvic acid or 2 lactic acid
– Energy investment phase
• Requires 2 ATP
– Energy generation phase
• Produces 4 ATP, 2 NADH, and 2 pyruvate or 2 lactate

Hydrogen and Electron Carrier Molecules
• Transport hydrogens and associated
electrons
– To mitochondria for ATP generation (aerobic)
– To convert pyruvic acid to lactic acid (anaerobic)
• Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)
NAD + 2H+  NADH + H+
• Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)
FAD + 2H+  FADH2
Conversion of Pyruvic Acid to Lactic Acid
Figure 3.16
Aerobic ATP Production
• Krebs cycle (citric acid cycle)
– Completes the oxidation of substrates
– Produces NADH and FADH to enter the
electron transport chain
• Electron transport chain
– Oxidative phosphorylation
– Electrons removed from NADH and FADH
are passed along a series of carriers to
produce ATP
– H+ from NADH and FADH are accepted by
O2 to form water

Phosphorylation

Fats and Proteins in Aerobic Metabolism
• Fats
– Triglycerides  glycerol and fatty acids
– Fatty acids  acetyl-CoA
• Beta-oxidation
– Glycerol is not an important muscle fuel during
exercise
• Protein
– Broken down into amino acids
– Converted to glucose, pyruvic acid, acetyl-CoA,
and Krebs cycle intermediates

Proteins, Carbohydrates, and Fats

Efficiency of Oxidative
Phosphorylation
• One mole of ATP has energy yield of 7.3 kcal
• 32 moles of ATP are formed from one mole of glucose
• Potential energy released from one mole of glucose is 686
kcal/mole
• Overall efficiency of aerobic respiration is 34%
– 66% of energy released as heat
32 moles ATP/mole glucose x 7.3 kcal/mole ATP
686 kcal/mole glucose
x 100 = 34%
Control of Bioenergetics
• Rate-limiting enzymes
– An enzyme that regulates the rate of a metabolic
pathway
• Modulators of rate-limiting enzymes
– Levels of ATP and ADP+Pi
• High levels of ATP inhibit ATP production
• Low levels of ATP and high levels of ADP+Pi stimulate
ATP production
– Calcium may stimulate aerobic ATP production

Interaction Between Aerobic and
Anaerobic ATP Production
• Energy to perform exercise comes from an
interaction between aerobic and anaerobic
pathways
• Effect of duration and intensity
– Short-term, high-intensity activities
• Greater contribution of anaerobic energy systems
– Long-term, low to moderate-intensity exercise
• Majority of ATP produced from aerobic sources

of Aerobic/Anaerobic ATP Production
