Power, capacity, yield, latency and refreshment of energy mechanisms

definitions

Power : amount of energy (ATP) produced in the unit of time. ENGINE HORSES.
Capacity : total amount of ATP that could be synthesized if all the energy substrates available for that metabolic pathway were consumed. HOW MANY GASOLINE IS IN THE TANK.
Energy yield : ATP moles synthesized per mole of initial substrate consumed. KM WITH A LITER.
Latency : time required to obtain the maximum power that can be delivered by the metabolic pathway
Refreshment : time required for reconstitution of the system

Synthesis mechanisms of ATP	Power in moles of ATP per minute	Capacity in moles of total ATPs	Yield in moles of ATP per mole of substrate	Latency	refreshments
Anaerobic alactacid	3.8	0.4	1 mole of ATP per mole of phosphocreatine	Fractions of a second	Very short (a few sec.)

Anaerobic lactate	1.9	1.2	2 mol of ATP per mole of glucose 3 moles of ATP per mole of glucose from glycogen	10-15 seconds	Short (20-40 minutes)

Aerobic	1	Infinity	36-38 moles of ATP per mole of glucose 129 moles of ATP per mole of palmitate	45-180 seconds	Very long (36-48 hours)
