Document Summary

The importance of the sun, food, and atp - physiology of muscular work and exercise is a matter of transforming bound energy into mechanical energy. First energy from the sun is trapped in green plants and conserved in the form of foodstuff. This food stuff is consumed by us and is converted into a usable energy form know as atp. This energy is utilized for various biological activities and the rest is liberated as heat. Bioenergetics - is the study of biological energy conversion. Basic principles of energy conversion: energy conversion reaction involve the coupling of an endergonic and exergonic reaction. This atp gets used to power our bodily functions. Adp + pi + energy > atp - energy used to make a high energy molecule (endergonic) - used in aerobic respiration when storing energy in atp. Atp > adp +pi +energy - energy released to help with cellular needs (exergonic) - used during exercise.
