Energy Systems

Background info…

The body needs a steady supply of energy to
produce the muscular contractions that are
essential for sport, as well as to perform all the
other functions needed to stay alive, such as
digestion of foods, circulation and repairing
tissues.

For movement to occur, the body must transfer
stored chemical energy to mechanical energy.
The body does this by breaking down a high
energy compound called Adenosine
Triphosphate (ATP)
Task…
1)Research what is ATP within
the energy system (what it
looks like and what function it
serves.
- What are the 3 energy
systems and some
background information on
each system.
Adenosine
Triphosphate and
energy production
Pass
•
ATP
– Produced by breaking down the foods that we eat in our diet
– Made up of one Adenosine molecule, attached to 3 phosphate
molecules
• These are bound together by high energy bonds
• Adenosine
molecule
• 3 phosphate
molecules
Pass
•
In order to get the energy, we need to:
– Break down the bond between the second and third
phosphate molecules.
• The bond between the
outer of the 3 phosphate
molecules needs to be
broken.
Pass
•
The breakdown leaves us with a second compound –
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and a loose phosphate
molecule
• We must reattach these molecules in order to remake ATP. We
need energy to do this.
• Adenosine
molecule
• 2 phosphate
molecules
Pass
•
So Adenosine
Triphosphate
breaks down
• We use this
energy to move
and to keep our
body systems
going.
• Adenosine
Diphosphate + a loose
phosphate molecule
• This
breakdown
produces
energy
Merit
•
We know that the splitting of the
outer bond of the ATP molecules
releases energy.
– This energy stimulates the myosin cross bridge to the
active site on the actin filament. According to sliding
filament theory, this then stimulates movement.
Merit
•
The problem is that the muscles only store a small
amount of the energy compound ATP
– Probably only enough for a few contractions at a high intensity, such
as a few seconds of flat out running
– Therefore, in a game situation, we must continually resynthesize
ATP in order to supply a constant source of energy.
•To do this, we must attach
the ADP and the phosphate
again to make ATP, so that
the ATP can again be broken
down and the energy
released
•The problem is that:
resynthesizing ADP into ATP
requires energy and needs 1
of the 3 different energy
systems to do this.
We will look at the different energy
systems in later tasks.
Task…
Make an A4 poster, presenting what you have learned from todays
lesson on ATP.
- Use the PowerPoint and internet to produce the poster… using
information that has been synthesised by yourself and also having
sourced your own pictures and illustrations.
The 3 energy systems…
Creatine
Phosphate system
CP
(Phospocreatine
system- PC)
 Lactic Acid System
 Aerobic System

Task 2 – The CP System PASS

CP stands for Creatine Phosphate

The muscles contain more CP stores than ATP stores.

The aim of the CP system is to create ATP from ADP + P

The CP bond is broken down so that the loose P can join the 2 P Ps in
ADP to create ATP.


This energy system is used for exercise of a high intensity & short
duration (approx. 6 seconds).

Once the CP stores have run out, the CP system cannot work. We have
to wait for more CP to be made (resynthesized). After the CP stores have
run out, we must use a different energy system.
Task 2 – The CP System
MERIT
 Key Features:

It is fast & immediate CP is stored in the muscle & so there ready &
waiting! Its used in the early stages of high intensity exercise.

Because of the limited stores of ATP & CP, it can only last approx. 8-10
seconds (ATP=2 sec CP=6sec). After this we fatigue.

A limitation with the CP System is that stores (of ATP & CP) run out
very quickly. To resynthesize (make more) them, requires aerobic
energy which takes a lot longer.

Examples of exercises that use the CP system:
Task 3 – The Lactic Acid System
PASS
•The Lactic Acid System is anaerobic meaning it doesn’t use Oxygen (O²)
•It gets energy from the break down of Glucose molecules, this is known as
“Glycolysis”
•It releases energy very quickly.
Glucose
Glucose – 6 Phosphate
This reaction
produces 2
ATP
Pyruvic Acid
Pyruvic Acid
Lactic Acid
Glucose is
converted to
Glucose-6
Phosphate in
order to be
resynthesize
ATP, to do
this requires
1 ATP
Lactic Acid is a waste
product of this energy
system. Lactic Acid is what
gives you a “stitch” during
exercise!
Task 3 – The Lactic Acid System
MERIT
Only 5% of Glucose is broken down by the Lactic Acid System. The other
95% is broken down by the Aerobic Energy System.
The Lactic Acid System is used from 10 sec (after the CP System runs out)
up to approx. 1 minute.
Glucose
Glucose – 6 Phosphate
This reaction
produces 2
ATP
Glucose-6 Phosphate
is broken down by
Glycolytic Enzymes
to produce Pyruvic
Acid
Glycolytic Enzymes
Pyruvic Acid
Pyruvic Acid
Lactic Acid
Lactic Acid accumulates and
diffuses into the muscles and
blood, causing discomfort (stitch)
& fatigue, so needs to be
removed by the CV system. Lactic
Acid also inhibits further
breakdown of Glucose.
Task 4 – The Aerobic Energy
System PASS

ATP is produced very slowly by the Aerobic System, it is very sluggish
compared to the CP & Lactic Acid Systems.

Energy comes from breaking down glucose & fats.
The aerobic system produces
- 38
ATP when breaking down a Glucose molecule
This is a huge
amount more than
- 129
ATP when breaking down a Fat molecule
the other energy

systems

Waste products are H²O(water) & CO² (carbon dioxide) which don’t inhibit further
Glycolysis (unlike Lactic Acid as a waste product). Carbon Dioxide & Water are
waste products of Aerobic
Exercise!
This type of energy production can be used for hours.
It is used when exercising at low intensity
for long durations. For example:

Jogging, lasting 90 minutes, a marathon, long distance sports
Task 5 - The Krebs Cycle & Electron Transfer Chain MERIT
(part of The Aerobic Energy System)
During the Lactic Acid System, Pyruvic Acid is produced. This then enters the mitochondria for the Krebs Cycle.
Acetyl CoA

The Pyruvic Acid

the Krebs Cycle.

(part of The Aerobic Energy System) cont…
Following on from the Krebs Cycle…
Remember Hydrogen was a
waste product from the
Krebs Cycle
Hydrogen
Splits into…
electron
•These then move out of the
mitochondria, then move back into the
Mitochondria
proton
It is the movement of the
electrons & protons that creates
huge amounts of energy.
Mitochondria
In this case
•They then combine with Oxygen to
produce H²O (water).
34 ATP
molecules are produced!!
