Power, capacity, yield, latency and refreshment of the energy mechanisms

Definitions

• Power: quantity of energy (ATP) produced in the unit of time. ENGINE HORSES.
• Capacity: total amount of ATP that could be synthesized if all the energy substrates available for that metabolic pathway were consumed. HOW MUCH GASOLINE C "E" IN THE TANK.
• Energy yield: moles of ATP synthesized per mole of initial substrate consumed. KM WITH ONE LITER.
• Latency: time required to obtain the maximum power that can be delivered by the metabolic pathway
• Refreshment: time required for system reconstitution

ATP synthesis mechanisms Power in moles of ATP per minute Capacity in moles of total ATP Yield in moles of ATP per mole of substrate Latency Refreshments Alactic anaerobic 3,8 0,4 1 mole of ATP per mole of phosphocreatine Fractions of a second Very short (a few sec.) Anaerobic lactate 1,9 1,2 2 mol of ATP per mole of glucose
3 moles of ATP per mole of glucose from glycogen 10-15 seconds Short (20-40 minutes) Aerobic 1 Infinity 36-38 moles of ATP per mole of glucose
129 moles of ATP per mole of palmitate 45-180 seconds Very long (36-48 hours)
