Anaerobic Energy System

Which of the following correctly summarises anaerobic energy production?

• glycolysis, pyruvate, Krebs cycle, electric transfer chain

• glycolysis, lactate, pyruvate

• glucogenesis, pyruvate, lactate

• glycolysis, pyruvate, lactate

Which of the following is a correct statement about glycolysis?

• Glycolysis involves the breakdown of pyruvate into glycogen or glucose.

• Glycolysis involves the development of pyruvate into glycogen or glucose.

• Glycolysis involves the development of glycogen or glucose from pyruvate.

• Glycolysis involves the breakdown of glycogen or glucose into pyruvate.

Which one of the following correctly describes anaerobic energy?

• Lactate prevents glycolysis.

• Glycolysis is anaerobic.

• Glycolysis produces lactate.

• Glycolysis is aerobic.

Which of the following is not the correct description of ATP-PC energy production?

• The breakdown products of phosphocreatine are acidic.

• One molecule of phosphocreatine produces one molecule of ATP.

• Phosphocreatine is stored in muscles.

• Phosphocreatine is stored in muscles.

The energy continuum concerns thresholds. The ATP–PC / anaerobic glycolytic threshold is the point at which the ATP–PC energy system is depleted by the intensity of the exercise and the anaerobic glycolytic system takes over as the predominant energy system.

• True

• False
