Canfitpro Exam 2 2025/2026 GRADE A CORRECT
ANSWERS.
Define Bioenergetics - the study of how energy flows in the human body
Define energy - the ability to do physical work
Define homeostasis - the state of stability or balance where all body functions occur easily and the
demand for energy is comfortable met by the supply of available energy. AKA steady state
Define metabolism - sum of all chemical reactions in the body that either use or create energy with
the combination of anabolic and catabolic processes, the energy used or created is called ATP
What is catabolic process? - digestion, large molecules broken into smaller ones
What is anabolic process? - when cells build larger molecules from small ones
An example of anabolic process? - using amino acids to build muscle
What is the fancy name for ATP? - adenosine triphosphate
What is ATP made up of? - chemical compound that is made up of adenosine and 3 phosphate
molecules
What is ATP? - the bodys energy currency. If you want to perform an activity you must pay for it with
ATP
What are the 3 systems the body uses when forming ATP? - 1) ATP-CP (creatine phosphate) system
2) Lactic Acid or glycolytic energy system
3) Aerobic or oxidative energy system
Which systems are anaerobic systems? - ATP-CP & glycolytic system
