Energy Flow in the Life of a Cell Case Study Energy Unleashed
  1. The 20,000-plus runners in the New York Marathon collectively expend more than 50 million Calories worth of energy.
    1. New York Marathon and many different people running.
      1. Is a 26-mile journey.
      2. What exactly is energy? Do our bodies use it according to the same principles that govern energy use in the engines of cars and airplanes? Why do our bodies generate heat, and why do we give off more heat when exercising than when watching TV?
        1. The marathoner´s muscles are only about 25% efficient in converting chemical energy into movement.
          1. The other 75% is lost as heat.
            1. Heat to rise their body temperatures by about 1 ° C every 5 minutes,
            2. Glycogen is the fuel for muscles.
              1. Glycogen is broken down into glucose molecules and tehn it breaks down into carbon dioxide and water and energy.
                1. Exergonic (to release) cehmical rwactions
                  1. The excess heat energy released by the exergonic chemuical reactions in their muscles.
                  2. Carbon dioxide is exhale and watee is lose as sweat.
                2. During the race, a marathoner burns a great deal of glucose to provide enough ATP to power muscles through roughly 34,000 running steps.
                  1. People store glucose molecules in the muscles and liver.
                    1. Adults stores 3.5 ounces (100 grams) of glycogen in the liver and 9.9 ounces (280 grams) in muscles.
                    2. Trained distance athletes may have their liver glycogen storage capacity increased by more than 50%, and the ability of their muscles to store glycogen man be more than double that of nonathletes.
                    3. Glycogen storage is essential for marathon runners.
                      1. Often about 90 minutes into the race the runner may experience extreme muscle fatigue, loss of motivation, and even hallucionations.
                        1. Musclrs and brain are starved of energy.
                          1. Htting the wall or bonking.
                        2. To store the greatest possible amount of glycogen, endurance athletes practice carbo-loading by consuming great amounts of carbohydrates (starches and sugars) during the 3 days preceding the race.
                          1. Packing their liver and muscles with glycogen before the race and consuming energy drinks.
