|
Metabolism |
Sum total of chemical reaction in the body. |
Controlled by hormones in the body. |
|
|
Anabolism |
Building things up/repairing/storing |
Smaller molecules + energy to larger molecules |
|
|
Catabolism |
Breakinh things down for energy needs. |
Larger molecules to smaller molecules + energy |
|
|
Glucagon |
Leads to breakdown of glycogen in our body. |
|
|
|
Glucagon, epinephrine, glucocorticoids, thyroxine, growth hormone. |
For Catabolism |
|
|
|
Insulin, sex steroids, thyroxine, growth hormone. |
For anabolism |
|
|
|
Glucocorticoids |
Stress hormones |
|
|
|
Thryoxine / Growth Hormone |
Breakdown fat and carbs. |
|
|
|
Insulin |
Storage of sugar. |
|
|
|
Thyroxine and Growth Hormone |
Building up of protein. |
|
|
|
Okay |
*ATP production is only made when the body needs energy. Otherwise, carbs, proteins, and fats are stored in the body. |
|
|
|
Starches or sugars |
Utilization of carbohydrates |
|
|
|
Glucose |
Single unit of carbohydrate |
|
|
|
Okay |
*Glucose can be broken down into pyruvate (via glycolysis,nets ATP) *Pyruvate can be broken down into acetyl CoA (via pyruvate oxidation) *Acetyl CoA will undergo the Kreb cycle (TCA cycle- tricarboxylic acid cycle) to produce high energy carriers -utilizes oxygeb which will turn to carbon dioxide *Thebhigh energy carriers will go down the electron transport chain which will produce ATP (currency of energy in the humn body) and water. |
