Ex Phys Multimedia

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)
