the 3 substrates
proteins, fats, carbs
bioenergetics
study of energy transfer in living organisms
free fatty acids are used for
used for atp
enzymes
control rate of free energy release
rate limiting enxyme
controls the reactions overall rate operates on neg feedback loop
negative feedback loop
decreases enzyme activity
exergonic
releases free energy
endergonic
reaction that requires energy
oxidation reduction reaction
transfer of elections
substrates
acted on by energy in chemical reactions that result in manufacturing various end products fats proteins carbs
products
melecules manufactered from the substrates that are involved in enzymatically catalyzed reactions
energy substrate
food has weak bonds so we break it down to atp to create strong bonds
carbs
number of carbs used during exercise is related to carbs available and muscles well developed system for carb metabolism. average carb stored is 2500kcal
fat
body stores potential energy in form of fat is larger then reserves of carbs
protein
used for server depletion/starvation. conversion has to take place
gluconeogeniss
making new glucose
lipogenesis
making new fat
rate of energy production is controlled by 2 things
primary substrate, enzyme activity
primary substrate
availability of a large amount of a substrate increases activity of that substrate pathway (if you eat protean you will use it more.)
enzyme activity
when optimal ph and temp is good they will work the fastest
free energy released is useful when
its is has a controlled rate
two laws of thermodynamics
energy conservation, directionality of reactions
what is the first law of thermodynamics
energy cant be created or destroyed but only transferred kinetic and potential
what type of energy is used to perform biological work
kinetic energy
