| What simple sugar is used to create ATP? |
|
Definition
| Glucose is the simple sugar used to create ATP! |
|
|
Term
| What are two ways that Glucose can become ATP? |
|
Definition
| Anaerobically and Aerobically meaning without oxygen and with oxygen. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Adenosine Triphosphate and it's one of the sources your body uses for energy. |
|
|
Term
| When Glucose is broken down to ATP aerobically, how many ATP molecules are produced? |

Term
| When Glucose is broken down to ATP anaerobically, how many ATP molecules are produced? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Which way is Glucose broken down into ATP faster? Aerobically or anaerobically? |
|
Definition
| Anaerobically (without Oxygen) |
|
|
Term
| What are three advantages to producing ATP aerobically? |
|
Definition
| It is more efficient to produce ATP this way because more ATP is produced if you compare it to anaerobic Glucose break down. 2. A lot of ATP is produced. 3. No lactic acid |
|
|
Term
| What does lactic acid do? |
|
Definition
| Lactic acid changes the PH of the Glucose that is breaking down into ATP and it makes you weak. |
|
|
Term
| What are three advantages of producing ATP anaerobically? |
|
Definition
| No Oxygen is required, so if you are not breathing, your body is still able to create energy without using Oxygen, which will let you live longer. My teacher says that "You aren't dead when you run out of Oxygen, you're dead when you run out of energy." (paraphrased) Some people have been underwater for a ridiculous amount of time, especially children, and they survived(not all though). It seems that that only happens when children fall into cold water though? 2. faster, burn it, produce 1000000 ATP's faster. 3. Produce more power. |

Term
| What are three disadvantages of producing ATP aerobically? |
|
Definition
| It's slow, no power and can only work as fast as you get more Oxygen. |
|
|
Term
| What are two disadvantages of producing ATP anaerobically? |
|
Definition
| inefficient-doesn't last long and lactic acid happens as a result of the anaerobic break down of Glucose and lactic acid makes you weak |

| What color are Oxygen carrying molecules? |

|
Term
| Characteristics of the white meat on your Thanksgiving Turkey? |
|
Definition
| no Oxygen, few capillaries, fast twitch muscles, no myoglobin which stores and carries Oxygen. |
|
|
Term
| Characteristics of the dark meat on your Thanksgiving Turkey? |
|
Definition
| slow twitch muscle fibers, blood supply, capillaries, endurance, myoglobin which carries and stores Oxygen and dark meat is on the Turkey legs lol. |
|
|
Term
| What kind of muscle fibers do people have, light or dark? What percentage are people's muscles dark colored? What percentage are people's muscles light colored? |
|
Definition
| People have mixed muscle fibers that are light, and dark and are not separated. People's muscles are usually 40-60% or 50/50% light and dark muscle. |
|
|
Term
| Can you actually switch your muscles from being fast twitch muscle fibers to slow or slow to fast? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Which type of muscle fibers are superior/ more important in nature's opinion(God's opinion actually)? |
|
Definition
| slow twitch and it's actually easier to switch from fast to slow than slow to fast. |

|
Term
| When your body runs out of energy, it needs to find another source of energy. What are the energy sources your body will use in order and how long can you use those sources for before they run out? |
|
Definition
| First energy source your body will use-ATP and you can use it for the first four seconds of any musclular activity. 2. Creatine Phosphate-eight to thirty seconds. 3. Respiration using Glucose already present in the cell for five to ten seconds. 4. Respiration using Glycogen you have in the cell for fifteen seconds. 5. What the bloodstream can bring , mostly from the liver, any resources from creatine and step 5 is where endurance runners get the rest of their energy for the rest of their run. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Because the cells are storing up fuel in the cell. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| It's gaining weight because water is going into the muscles. |
|
|
Term
| How do you get energy from Creatine Phosphate? |
|
Definition
| When ATP is used it goes from looking like this A-P-P-P to A-P-P. It has now become and ADP or an Adenosine Diphosphate.The Creatine gives one of it's own phosphates to the ADP to turn the ADP back into an ATP which can be used for energy again. It's a cycle that can give you eight to thirty seconds of energy. |

Term
| What does it mean when I say: bifurcated heart muscle? |
|
Definition
| If one cell in the heart contracts, two others will, then four more. Basically, one cell in the heart contracts and creates a wave of more contractions. |
|
|
Term
| what is a muscle's anatomy like? |
|
Definition
| It's a bundle of fascicles surrounded by a membrane called an epimysium. |
|
|
Term
| What is a fascicle's anatomy like? |
|
Definition
| It's a bundle of muscle fibers surrounded by perimysium . |
|
|
Term
| What is a muscle fiber's anatomy like? |
|
Definition
| It's a bundle of myofibrils surrounded by endomysium. |
|
|
Term
| What is a myofibril's anatomy like? |
|
Definition
| It's a bundle of myofilaments, the protien actin and myosin. |
|
|
Term
| What is Myasthenia Gravis and it's symptoms and treatment? |
|
Definition
Description or MOI: It's when your body's Immune system produces antibodies that block receptors from recieving ACh-ase and therefore allowing fewer ACh neurotransmitters to give your muscles nerve signals which causes weakening.
SS: difficulty breathing, using hands or arms, swallowing, seeing, facial muscles weakening, difficulty holding up head, limited facial expressions. TX: drugs that destroy ACh-ase(what stops muscle twitches). These kind of drugs are called immunosupressants. |

| Think Black plague/death just as a memory trick even though there's no relation between these two things. Botulism is the most serious form of food poisoning caused by botulinum toxin/botox. Botox is the most poisonous substance to mankind. |

Term
| What are some details about botulinum toxin/botox? |
