CSCS Ch 3 UPDATED Exam Questions
and CORRECT Answers
Lipolysis - CORRECT ANSWER - breaking triglycerides down into fatty acids and
glycerol using the enzyme lipase
beta oxidation - CORRECT ANSWER - reaction that converts fatty acids to acetyl CoA to
enter the Krebs cycle
CoA attaches to carbon in FFAs
Glycerol becomes glucose through gluconeogenesis
Bioenergetics - CORRECT ANSWER - the study of how energy flows through living
organisms
Catabolism - CORRECT ANSWER - Metabolic pathways that break down molecules,
releasing energy.
Anabolism - CORRECT ANSWER - Metabolic pathways that construct molecules,
requiring energy.
exergonic reaction - CORRECT ANSWER - reaction that releases energy
endergonic reaction - CORRECT ANSWER - reaction that requires input of energy
fast glycolysis - CORRECT ANSWER - when pyruvate is converted into lactate, ATP
resynthesis occurs at a faster rate; sprinting
(Cori cycle)
slow glycolysis - CORRECT ANSWER - pyruvate is transported to the mitochondria for
use in the oxidative system (Krebs cycle)
