Chapter 4 Exercise Metabolism And Bioenergetics Flashcards
All of the chemical reactions that occur in the body to maintain itself metabolism is the process in which nutrients are required transported used and disposed of by the body
Metabolism
The study of energy in the human body
Bioenergetics
Examination of bioenergetics as it relates to the unique physiologic changes and demands placed on the body during exercise
Exercise metabolism
The material or substance on which an enzyme acts
Substrates
Organic compounds of carbon hydrogen and oxygen which includes 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
Carbohydrates
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
Glucose
The complex carbohydrate molecule used to store carbohydrates in the liver and muscle cells when carbohydrate energy is needed glycogen is converted into glucose for use by muscle cells
Glycogen
One of the three main classes of foods and source of energy in the body fats help the body you some vitamins and keep the skin healthy they also serve as energy stores for the body in food there are two types of fats saturated and unsaturated
Fat
The chemical or substrate form in which most fat exists in food as well as in the body
Triglycerides
Amino acid linked by peptide bonds which consist of carbon hydrogen nitrogen oxygen and usually so for that have several essential biologic compounds
Protein
The formation of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources such as amino acids
Gluconeogenesis
Energy storage and transfer unit within the cells of the body
Adenosine triphosphate
A high-energy compound occurring in all cells from which adenosine triphosphate is formed
Adenosine diphosphate
The breakdown of triglycerides into smaller subunits called free fatty acids to convert free fatty acids into acyl-COA molecules which then are available to enter the Krebs cycle and ultimately lead to the production of additional ATP
B - oxidation
The state in which the body’s metabolism is elevated after exercise
Excess post exercise oxygen consumption
