|
Catabolism
|
reactions that breakdown complex organic compounds into simple ones; provide energy (produce or release)
|
|
|
Anabolism
|
reactions whereby small molecules are built up into more complex ones; form body's structural & functional components; use/need energy
|
|
|
energy-releasing
|
catabolic
|
|
|
energy-requiring
|
anabolic
|
|
|
Radiation
|
transfer of heat from a warmer object to a cooler object w/out physical contact
|
|
|
Conduction
|
transfer of body heat to a substance/object in contact with the body; ex. chair, clothes, etc
|
|
|
Convection
|
transfer of body heat by a liquid or gas btw areas of different temp.
|
|
|
Evaporation
|
conversion of a liquid to a vapor
|
|
|
Oxidation
|
removal of electrons/hydrogen ions (adding oxygen) from a molecule, results in s decrease in energy content of molecule
|
|
|
Reduction
|
addition of electrons/hydrogen ions (remove oxygen) to a molecule
|
|
|
Glycogenesis
|
conversion of glucose to glycogen for storage in liver & skeletal muscle; excess glucose stored in liver & skeletal muscle as glycogen; stimulated by insulin
|
|
|
Glycolysis
|
breakdown of glucose (6c) into pyruvic acid (3c); also carbon dioxide & water
|
|
|
Glycogenolysis
|
conversion of glycogen back to glucose; stimulated by glucagon & epinephrine
|
|
|
Gluconeogenesis
|
conversion of protein & fat molecules (non-carb sources) into glucose; stimulated by cortisol, thyroid hormone, epinephrine, glucagon & hGH
|
|
|
lipolysis
|
triglycerides are split into fatty acids & glycerol; stimulated by epinephrine, norepinephrine & glucocorticoids
|
|
|
lipogenesis
|
conversion of glucose/amino acids into lipids; stimulated by insulin
|
