Metabolism
Metabolism is the sum total of all the chemical reactions in the human body. Metabolism is as physical and chemical changes that take place in a human body that provide acceptable energy for life processes and the synthesis of new materials. Metabolism is like a balance between reactions. On this balance there is two sides. Breaking down and building up. Breaking down is known Catabolism. Catabolism is simply breaking down molecules for energy. The buildup part of metabolism is known as Anabolism. Anabolism is the constructive part of the Metabolism. Anabolism is a chemical reaction that synthesizes molecules from smaller components.
Why metabolism important. Metabolism is important because it is the generator for a human body. Providing energy to keep a human …show more content…
Using your knowledge of protein structure And “R” groups explain why these are necessary.
Matter cannot be destroyed nor created there for proteins are broken down into amino acids and then go through the anabolic reaction which builds them back up
8) Would you hypothesize that the meat tenderizer would still work if it were? Heated? Why?
Meat tenderizer is an enzyme. Enzymes denature in extreme heat but work really good in room temperature 37c. So it depends what the temperature is. if it’s really hot around 60c Then it won 't work but if it 's room temp around 37 c then it will work.

1. Feel the bottom of the test tube. What temperature change do you feel = the bottom of the test tube go a lot warmer
2. What might be the source of the change? = an exergonic reaction
3. Relate this change to the concept of entropy. = they both release the energy in heat form
4. What are some possible explanations for the bubbles? = carbon dioxide escaping from the
