Biochemistry of Movement >Sprinting Involves Muscles Contracting Powerfully And Rapidly And Utilises Type 2 Muscle Cells

Sprinting involves muscles contracting powerfully and rapidly and utilises type 2 muscle cells

Students:

  • solve problems and process information from a simplified flow chart of biochemical pathways to summarise the steps in anaerobic glycolysis and analyse the total energy output from this process
  • use available evidence and process information from a simplified flow chart of biochemical pathways to trace the path of lactic acid formation and compare this with the process of fermentation
  • process information to discuss the use of multiple naming systems in chemistry using lactic acid (2–hydroxypropanoic acid or 2–hydroxypropionic acid) as an example
