Ch 4

Question 1

B-oxidation

Answer 1

He breakdown of triglycerides into smaller subunits called free fatty acids (FFAs) to convert FFAs into acyl-CoA molecules, which then are available to enter the Krebs cycle and ultimately lead to production of additional ATP

Question 2

Adenosine triphosphate

Answer 2

Energy storage and transfer unit within the cells of the body

Question 3

Protein

Answer 3

Amino acids linked by peptide bonds, which consists of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and usually sulfur, and that have several essential biological compounds

Question 4

Triglycerides

Answer 4

The chemical or substrate form in which most fat exists in food as well as in the body

Question 5

Metabolism

Answer 5

All of the chemical reactions that occur in the body to maintain itself. Metabolism is the process in which nutrients are acquired, transported, used, and disposed of by the body

Question 6

Bioenergenics

Answer 6

The study of energy in the human body

Question 7

Glycogen

Answer 7

The complex carbohydrate molecule used to store carbohydrates in the liver and muscle cells. When carbohydrate energy is needed, can be converted into glucose for use by the muscular cells

Question 8

Excess post exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC)

Answer 8

The state in which the body’s metabolism is elevated after exercise

Question 9

Exercise metabolism

Answer 9

The examination of bioenergetics as it relates to the unique physiologic changes and demands placed on the body during exercise

Question 10

Carbohydrates

Answer 10

Organic compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, which include starches, cellulose, and sugars, and are an important source of energy. Eventually broken down into glucose

Question 11

Fat

Answer 11

One of three main classes of foods and a source of energy in the body. Help the body use some vitamins and keep skin healthy. They also serve as energy stores for the body. In food they can be classified as saturated or unsaturated

Question 12

Adenosine diphosphate

Answer 12

A high energy compound occurring in all cells from which adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is formed

Question 13

Gluconeogenesis

Answer 13

The formation of glucose from non carbohydrate sources, such as amino acids

Question 14

Substrates

Answer 14

The material or substance on which an enzyme acts

Question 15

Glucose

Answer 15

A simple sugar manufactured by the body from carbohydrates, fat, and to a lesser extent protein, which serves as the body’s main source of fuel
