A&p Metabolism

Front 1

What is the definition of Metabolism?

Back 1

The sum total of all chemical reactions that occur in the body

Front 2

What is Catabolism?

Back 2

The metabolic breakdown of complex molecules into simpler ones, often resulting in a release of energy.

Front 3

What is Anabolism?

Back 3

The phase of metabolism in which simple substances are synthesized into the complex materials of living tissue.

Hint 3

Examples include: synthesis of glycogen from glucose, protein from amino acids and construction of new antibodies and new enzymes

Front 4

What are Nutrients?

Back 4

Ingested chemicals that are used for the growth, repair, and maintenance of the body

Front 5

What are Macronutrients?

Back 5

Carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids

Front 6

What are Micronutrients?

Back 6

Vitamins and minerals

Front 7

What is glycolosis

Back 7

A process in which glucose (sugar) is partially broken down by cells in enzyme reactions that do not need oxygen. Glycolysis is one method that cells use to produce energy. When glycolysis is linked with other enzyme reactions that use oxygen, more complete breakdown of glucose is possible and more energy is produced.

Front 8

What is the total energy produced from 1 glucose molecule?

Back 8

38 ATP

Front 9

1 NADH = how many atp

Back 9

3

Front 10

What is glycogenesis?

Back 10

The process by which glycogen is formed from glucose. This is an anabolic process that occurs mainly in the liver and muscle when there is extra glucose.

Front 11

What is glycogenolysis?

Back 11

The breakdown of glycogen into glucose molecules. This is a catabolic process that occurs mainly in the liver and muscle.

Hint 11

reversal of glycogenesis

Front 12

What is gluconeogenesis?

Back 12

The process of making glucose (sugar) from its own breakdown products or from the breakdown products of lipids (fats) or proteins. Gluconeogenesis occurs mainly in cells of the liver or kidney.

Hint 12

anabolic process

Front 13

What is lipogenesis?

Back 13

Synthesis of fat from sugar and amino acids

Front 14

What is lipolysis?

Back 14

Hydrolysis of triglyceride into glycerol and fatty acid.
the breakdown of fat stored in fat cells. During this process, free fatty acids are released into the bloodstream and circulate throughout the body. Ketones are produced, leading to the process of ketosis. Testing strips are available which can sometimes measure whether or not this process is taking place.

Front 15

What are fatty acids broken down into through a process of Beta oxidation

Back 15

acetylCoA

Front 16

AcetylCoA is taken into the Kreb cycle and converted into what 4 things?

Back 16

CO2, reduced ATP, NAD and FAD

Front 17

Glycerol is converted into 2 things in glycolosis. Name them

Back 17

Glyceraldehyde phosphate, or dihydroxyacetone phosphate

Front 18

In glycolosis what 3 things are glyceraldehyde phosphate converted into?

Back 18

reduced NAD, ATP and pyruvic acid

Front 19

What is lipid anabolism?

Back 19

constructive metabolic process that produces new lipids from materials such as glycerol, fatty acids, phosphates, etc.

Products include fats (triglycerides), oils, waxes, phospholipids, and steroids.

Front 20

What is the Catabolism of proteins

Back 20

Protein catabolism is the breakdown of proteins into amino acids and simple derivative compounds, for transport into the cell through the plasma membrane and ultimately for the polymerisation into new proteins via the use of ribonucleic acids (RNA) and ribosomes.
