ISSA UNIT 1 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS 2025-26 adenosine diphosphate (ADP) - ANS-an organic compound in metabolism that functions in the transfer of energy during the catabolism of glucose, formed by the removal of a phosphate molecule from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and composed of adenine, ribose, and two phosphate groups. adenosine triphosphate (ATP) - ANS-an organic compound found in muscle which, upon being broken down enzymatically, yields energy for muscle contraction. amino acid - ANS-the building blocks of protein. There are 24 amino acids, which form countless numbers of different proteins anabolism - ANS-the building up in the body of complex chemical compounds from simpler compounds (e.g., proteins from amino acids). anaerobic threshold - ANS-the point where increasing energy demands of exercise cannot be met by the use of oxygen, and an oxygen debt begins to be incurred. ATP/CP pathway - ANS-ATP and CP provide anaerobic sources of phosphate-bond energy. The energy liberated from hydrolysis (splitting) of CP re-bonds ADP and Pi to form ATP. basal metabolic rate (BMR) - ANS-the minimum energy required to maintain the body's life function at rest; usually expressed in calories per hour per square meter of the body surface beta oxidation - ANS-
