Unit 2, Lesson 1: ATP – Keep you Moving!
Dancing,
ATP – Adenosine Triphosphate
“Energy carrying molecule found in every cell of
every being.”
Cells require chemical energy for tasks to do
mechanical work
TWO ENERGY TRANSFERS:
1.) Basal metabolic rate
Transfer needed for maintaining body
temperature to keep us alive with no motion
required [ex. Breathing]
- BMR Calculator
Estimates basal metabolic rate [the amount
of energy expanded while at rest]
2.) Working Energy
Energy transfer occurs when we work, play, or
do voluntary movements. The more active we
are, the more energy we transfer and therefore
more ‘fuel’ we need in food.
Energy systems that produces ATP:
 Anaerobic [no oxygen used]
1.) ATP-PCr system – movements that
last for 5 to 15 seconds [ex. Jumping,
throwing]
2.) Glycolytic system – movements at
max effort for 1-2 minutes [ex. 3 sets of
repetition]
 Aerobic [with oxygen]
1.) Oxidative system – slow production
of ATP and for a long duration of time
[ex. Running, jogging, biking, walking]
Unit 2, Lesson 2: Aerobic and Anaerobic
Exercise
Aerobic – stimulates the heart and breathing
rate to increase in a way that can be sustained
for the exercise [with oxygen] (ex.
jogging, skating, swimming, brisk walking, etc)
Anaerobic – form of exercise that causes you to
be quickly out of breath [without oxygen] (ex.
Bowling, sprinting, curl ups, weight lifting,
tennis, hiking, etc)
Aerobic Respiration – process of cellular
respiration that takes place in the presence of
oxygen gas to produce energy from food.
Inefficient process since it only produces 1/20
energy.
Anaerobic Respiration – process of quick release
of a limited amount of energy from the
incomplete breakdown of glucose without
oxygen.
 Occurs when the muscles are forced to
work hard that the lungs & bloodstream
cannot deliver enough oxygen to
respire the available glucose
 Helps building lean muscle mass and
weight management
Glycosis – process where the glucose circulates
in the blood, muscles, and liver.
Unit 3, Lesson 1: The Science of Healthy Diets
Diet – the act of consuming healthy foods
“Nutrients are substances in food that provide
nourishment for the body to function properly
and stay healthy.”
Five Main Groups of Nutrients:
 Carbohydrates [Provides energy to the
body. Helps in storing energy in the
form of glycogen. Also maintains blood
glucose level]
  Proteins [Needed for repair and
creation of cells and tissues. Also for the
growth and development of the body]
 Fats [Helps body store and absorb
vitamins. Provides energy and supports
cell growth. Utilized by the cells of the
immune system. Essential for wound
healing. Also aids production of
hormones]
 Vitamins [Helps the body function
properly. Helps maintain normal vision,
healthy skin, hair, teeth, and bones.
Also helps metabolism]
 Minerals [Essential for production of
iron. Helps transport oxygen through
blood. Regulation of biochemical
reactions by acting as cofactors to
enzymes. Prevents anemia]
 Water [Not part of the five main groups
of nutrients but is essential. Helps
produce saliva and regulation of body
temperature. Protects tissue, spine, and
joints. Aids in removal of waste through
sweat, urine, and feces]
 Bulimia Nervosa [Person eats their
favorite food in volume and then
induces vomiting after as part of their
guilt in getting fat]
 Binge Eating Disorder [Person eats
excessive amount of food in a short
period]
 Pica [eating disorder in which a person
consumes substances that are not
considered food]
 Rumination Disorder [regurgitation
(bringing swallowed food up again to
the mouth) of consumed, chewed,
swallowed food.]
 Avoidant/Food Restrictive Disorder
[occurs when individuals do not have an
interest in eating]

Nutrients are divided into two groups:

 Macronutrients
- Essential for metabolic functions and
carrying out daily activities (Carbs, fats,
proteins, water)
 Micronutrients
- Needed in the production of substances
needed for body development, like
enzymes and hormones (Vitamins &
minerals)

Eating Disorders:

 Anorexia Nervosa [Person thinks they

are extremely fat even though they are
not]
