Q

Net equation of glycolysis if you begin with free glucose=

A

glucose + 2NAD + 2ADP + 2Pi –> 2 pyruvates + 2NADH + 2 ATP

Q

Net equation starting with glycogen the net is glycogenolysis

A

Q

Fat Metabolism Steps

A
  1. Lipolysis
    FFA and glycerol
    2.Beta oxidation – 2 C oxidation of the free-fatty acid which makes…
  2. Acetyl Co-A – enters Krebs cycle- basically only place fats enter the metabolic pathway
    4.ETS – ATPs produced
19
Q

Transamination

A

Which is addition of -NH2 (amine group) to pyruvate or Kreb’s cycle ketones to make a new amino acid
.

20
Q

Oxidative Deamination

A

Is process by which excess amino acids are eliminated

21
Q

Glucogenesis

A

Generation of glucose from pyruvate, lactate, glycerol and amino acids

22
Q

What is the brains major source of energy?

23
Q

Metabolic Rate

A

The body’s rate of energy output (metabolism)

24
Q

Basal Metabolic Rate

A

depends on age, sex, body surface area, activity level, & thyroid hormone levels

25
Neutral Energy Balance
Energy input = energy output | Body weight remains constant
26
Positive Energy Balance
Energy input is greater than energy output Energy not used is stored primarily as adipose Body weight increases
27
Negative Energy Balance
Energy input is less than energy output Body must use stored energy to supply energy needs Body weight decreases
28
Insulin (hormone)
Secreted by pancreas in response to rise in glucose concentration
29
Ghrelin
Hunger hormone (appetite stimulator)
30
Absorptive State
Fed state; anabolism exceeds catabolism | Glucose is plentiful and serves as major energy source
31
Postabsorptive State
Fasting state; net synthesis of fat, glycogen, and protein ceases Catabolism occurs
32
Liver
Primary role in maintaining normal blood glucose levels | Principal site for metabolic interconversions such as gluconeogenesis
33
Adipose Tissue
Primary energy storage site | Important in regulating fatty acid levels in the blood
34
Muscle
Primary site of amino acid storage | Major energy user
35
Brain
Normally can only use glucose as an energy source Does not store glycogen Mandatory blood glucose levels be maintained
36
Vitamins
Are small organic molecules that serve as coenzymes in metabolism or have highly specific functions
37
Minerals
Are needed as cofactors for specific enzymes & other critical functions
38
Four Mechanisms of heat transfer
Radiation Conduction Convection Evaporation
39
Radiation
the transfer of heat energy from a warmer object to a cooler object in the form of electromagnetic waves (“heat waves”), which travel through space.
40
Conduction
the transfer of heat from a warmer to a cooler object that is in direct contact with the warmer one. The heat is transferred through the movement of thermal energy from molecule to adjacent molecule.
41
Convection
the transfer of heat energy by air currents. Cool air warmed by the body through conduction rises and is replaced by more cool air. This process is enhanced by the forced movement of air across the body surface
42
Evaporation
conversion of a liquid such as sweat into a gaseous vapor, a process that requires heat (the heat of vaporization), which is absorbed from the skin.
43
Hypothalamus
Serves as body’s thermostat | Integrates thermosensory inputs
