Document Summary

The glycolytic system carbohydrates: this system uses carbohydrates, tremendous amounts of energy in a short time, usain bolt, top speed of 44. 72 km/h, generating huge amounts of power, nhl players, top speed of 35 km/h. Useful terms: glycolysis: the breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid (pyruvate, glycogenolysis: the breakdown of glycogen to glucose, so it can enter the glycolytic pathway, gluconeogenesis: the formation of glucose from protein or fat (pyruvate, lactate and glycerol) In any energy system pathway, you have to have substrate (i. e. glucose: need to ingest carbohydrate so it can be digested and broken down in the stomach, the glucose will then be released into the bloodstream. January 13th, 2017: glucose levels in the blood are very tightly controlled. See more: glucose enters the cell and at this point, it can do 1of 2 things, glucose can enter the glycolytic pathway to get energy.
