Catabolism
|
Breaks food moecules down, releasing their stored endery; oxygen used in catabolism
|
|
Anabolism
|
builds food molecules into complex substances
|
|
Glycolysis (cycle one)
|
Changes glucose to pyruvic acid
Anaerobic (uses no oxygen) Yields small amount of engery inot ATP) |
|
Citric acid (KREBS) cycle (cylcle two)
|
Changes pyruvic acid to CO2, aerobic, yields lg. amount of engery, mosstly as high energy electrons. Occurs in the mitochondria
|
|
Electron Transfer System (cycle three)
|
transfers energyy from high energy electrons (from citric ascid cycle) to ATP molecules, located in Mitochondria
|
|
Glycogenesis
|
Glucose anabolism. Carried on chiefly by the liver and muscle cells. Consists of a series of reactions thatt join glucose molecules together to form glycogen
|
|
Insulin:
Important hormone, resp. for the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism. |
Makes glucose leave the blood and enter the cells at a more rapid rate. Too little insulin=diabetes mellitues.
|
|
Antioxidant:Substance such as vitamin E that can inhibit free radicals (oxidants), which are highly reactive, electron-seeking molecules occuring normally in cells- cont on back
|
which may damage electron-ense molecules such as DNA or molecules in cell membranes
|
|
Scurvy-causes bleeding and ulceration of the skin, gums and other tissues
|
BC of Avitaminosis C, which impairs the normal maintenance of collage-containing connective tissues,
|
|
Avitaminosis
|
General name for any condition resulting form a vitamin deficiency
|
|
Hypervitaminosis
|
excess of a vitamin, such as hpervitaminosis A, just as serious as a deficiency
|
|
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
|
Rate of metabolism when a person is lying down but awake and not digesting food and when the environment is comfortably warm
|
|
Metabolic Rate (TMR)
|
The total amounts of energy, expressed in calories, used by the body per day
|
|
Inborn Errors of the Metabolism
|
genetic conditions involving deficient or abnormal metabolic enyzymes
|
|
