define metabolism
chemical processes that occur within a cell to maintain life
what breaks down ATP?
ATPase to release high energy from bonds
what does falling levels of ATP cause?
stimulates release of creatine kinase which breaks PC bond to release energy
what are the products of PC hydrolysis and what are they used for?
energy and a phosphate molecule used to resynthesise ATP
define a coupled reaction
when the products of one reaction are used in another
where does the ATP/PC system take place
muscle/mitochondria sarcoplasm
5 advantages of ATP/PC system
anaerobic so no o2 needed
PC is readily useable in muscles
fast resynthesis of ATP
automatically stimulated by ATP decrease
no fatiguing by-products
3 disadvantages of ATP/PC system
limited amount of ATP and PC stored
small energy yield 1:1
only provides energy for 3-10 seconds
what duration and intensity is ATP/PC system used?
short duration and high intensity
