Ch4 Exercise Metabolism And Bioenergetics

Question 0

Metabolism

Answer 0

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 1

Bioenergetics

Answer 1

The study of energy in the human body

Question 2

Exercise metabolism

Answer 2

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

Question 3

Substrates

Answer 3

Smaller by products that have been broken down by digestive system used to transfer metabolic energy to be used for all types of cellular activity and life. Material or substance on which enzymes acts.
Protein, carbohydrates and lipids main substrates used

Question 4

Carbohydrates

Answer 4

Organic compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, which include starches, cellulose, and sugars, and are an important source of energy. All carbohydrates are eventually broken down in the body to glucose a simple sugar.

Question 5

Glucose

Answer 5

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

Question 6

Glycogen

Answer 6

Storage form of carbohydrate. Glucose stored in liver and muscle cells. When carb energy is needed glycogen is converted into glucose for use by the muscle cells

Question 7

Fat

Answer 7

One of the three main classes of foods and a source of energy in the body, fats help the body use some vitamins and keep the skin healthy. They also serve as energy stores for the body. In food there are two types saturated and unsaturated

Question 8

Triglycerides

Answer 8

The chemical or substrate form in which most fat exist in food as well as in the body.used for prolonged bouts of exercises

Question 9

Protein

Answer 9

Amino acids linked by peptide bonds which consist of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and usually sulfur, and that have several essential biological compounds. Rarely supplies much energy only in starvation.

Question 10

Gluconeogenesis

Answer 10

Conversion of amino acids to use for energy. The formation of glucose no carbohydrate sources such as amino acids.

Question 11

Adenosine triphosphate

Answer 11

Source of immediate energy for cellular metabolism stored in chemical bonds of a molecule

Question 12

Adenosine diphosphate

Answer 12

The result or byproduct of chemical bonds when the chemical bonds of ATP are broken leaving behind a molecule
