Bioenergetics Flashcards
Catabolic
The release of energy from the break down of large molecules into smaller molecules such as carbohydrates into glucose.
Bioenergetics
The flow of energy in a biological system
The breakdown of chemical bonds of large molecule in carbohydrates proteins and fat molecules for usable energy.
Anabolic
The building of larger molecules from smaller molecules using energy released from catabolic reactions such as formation of proteins from amino acids
What molecule is used to sustain the energy required for catabolic and anabolic reactions
Adenosine triphosphate
3 energy systems in the body
Phosphagen - anearobic
Glycolysis - anearobic. Fast and slow.
Oxidative - aerobic
Which food group can be metabolized. Without direct O2
Carbohydrates
