The next section/topic introduces you to the connection biology and chemistry have with exercise. I have split the topics we cover in this section into the following:

1. Oxidation/reduction and their link with enzymes and coenzymes (NAD/NADH role in ATP production during anaerobic metabolism)
2. Chemical and ventilatory buffers (clearing lactic acid & carbon dioxide)
3. Condensation/dehydration synthesis reactions (in digestion and synthesis of carbohydrates/glucose <--> glycogen)
4. Hypertonic and hypotonic solutions in relation to electrolytes (sodium and chloride function
5. Passive and active transport across cellular membranes (% carbohydrate in drinks for absorption)
6. Cellular respiration and the role chemical bonds play in ATP production (ATP-->ADP+P and ATP production in aerobic and anaerobic metabolism)

Your assignment is for each of you to choose one of the above and complete the following:

1. Explain where the chemistry/biology topic above is demonstrated in an Ex.Phys. concept. Be specific and provide examples.
2. Site and summarize/explain one professional scientific study that relates to the chemistry topic/EP topic above.
3. Create and publish your information somewhere (wiki or blog)

Using Adobe Premiere, create a movie (text and pics from web) that explains what Exercise Physiology is. Include the difference between "exercise" and "physical activity" as well as the components of physical fitness. Post your movie on The Phizz.
