Law of conservation of energy

- energy can neither be created nor destroyed


- energy can only be moved or changed from one form to another

Types of energy

- kinetic


- potential


- heat


- chemical

Kinetic energy

Energy needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to a specified velocity

Potential energy

Energy that is stored within an object, not in motion but capable of becoming active

Heat energy

Amount of energy that has to be transferred to or from one unit of mass (kilogram) or amount of substance (mole) to change the system temperature by one degree

Chemical energy

Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds (atoms and molecules)

Energy

How much potential a physical system has to generate change within another system

ATP

Adenosine Triphosphate

Carbohydrates

- Rapid, readily available source of energy


- 3 forms


Forms of carbs

- monosaccharides


- disaccharides


- polysaccharides

Monosaccharides

Glucose, fructose, galactose

Disaccharides

Maltose, sucrose

Polysaccharides

Starch, cellulose, glycogen

Glucose

- only form of carb that can be directly metabolized to obtain energy


- storage unit for energy (stored in liver or muscle tissues as glycogen)


tissues as glycogen)

Fructose & Galactose

Fructose (fruit sugar)


Galactose (milk sugar)


- Monosaccharides


- must be absorbed in the GI tract and converted to glucose by the liver then can be utilized for energy.

Disaccharides

- maltose


- sucrose

Glucose + Glucose =

Maltose + H2O

Glucose + Fructose =

Sucrose + H2O

Polysaccharides

- 3 - 100 monosaccharides chemically bonded together


- starch


- cellulose

Starch

- polysaccharide


- digestible, absorbed and store as glycogen


- found in bread/grains

Cellulose

- polysaccharide


- Indigestible fiber

Glycogen

- Polysaccharide form of glucose


- Storage form of glucose in animals- 90% is in liver- also in cardiac and skeletal muscle- not found in plants

Glycogenolysis

- breaking down glycogen


- catabolic pathway (releases energy)


- predominates during fasting

Glycogenesis

- forming of glycogen


- anabolic pathway (consumes energy)


- predominates after eating


- activated when glucose levels are elevated


- hormonally controlled by insulin

Fats

- can be mobilized for energy


- found in both plant & animal food sources

Important types of fats for metabolism

Triglycerides and Fatty Acids

Fatty acids

- even number of 4 to 24 carbon atoms


- saturation status is determined by the hydrogen atom content and number of double bonds

Essential fatty acids can only be obtained through

- food


- Essential fatty acids are a necessary part of bioenergetics

Unsaturated fatty acids

- at least one double bonded carbon


- oleic and linoleic acids


- found in most vegetable oils and Fatty fish


- "good" fat/ positive health benefits

Monounsaturated fats

- only one double bonded carbon

Polyunsaturated fats

More than one double bonded carbon

Saturated Fats

- carbon atoms linked only by single bonds; as a result carbon is "saturated" by hydrogen


- found in most animal fat


- should be consumed at moderate levels to maintain health


- steric acid

Trans Fats

- unsaturated fats which have been artificially saturated with hydrogen to extend their shelf life


- "fake fats"


- their chemical shape is most like saturated fats


- found in high levels in processed foods (fried foods)


- linked to high cholesterol levels so shoukd be avoided

Triglycerides

- cellular storage form of metabolized fats from foods


• 90% fat cells


• 10% other tissues


- three (tri-) fatty acids + glycerol molecule

Lypolysis

- breaking down of triglycerides when the body needs energy


needs energy

Which enzyme activates lypolysis?

- hormone sensitive lipase


Which hormones stimulate lypolysis?

- Catecholamines


- growth hormones

Amino acids

- Carbon based molecules with


• carboxyl side group


• amino side group


• unique side chain


- 20 total AA

How many Essential Amino Acids are there?

Nine - must be ingested from food

How many nonessential amino acids are there?

Eleven - can be produced by the body

Name the essential amino acids

Histidine


Lysine


Threonine



Isoleucine


Methionine


Tryptophan



Leucine


Phenylalanine


Valine

What are Enzymes made of?

- specialized proteins and may require co-factors

What are the functions of enzymes?

- lower activation energy for most metabolic reactions = catalysts


- decrease energy consumption in anabolic reactions


- increases energy yield in catabolic reactions


- regulate rate of metabolic reactions

ATP

- adenosine Triphosphate


- energy is stored within its chemical bonds


- human energy currency


- produced by the breakdown of consumed food sources

Hydrolysis of ATP ________

Releases free energy


This constantly occurs in our bodies

Endergonic

- anabolic reaction


- Forming ATP requires energy

Exergonic

- breakdown of ATP releases energy

Concentration changes in _____ directly change pH.

Hydrogen

Normal blood glucose

70 - 120 mg/dL
