Energy System Flashcards
What are the three classes of fuel molecules which humans obtain energy from?
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Proteins
What are the major constituents of foods and serve as fuel molecules for the human body?
Carbohydrates
Lipids
Proteins
What are the major absorbed end products of food digestion?
Monosaccharides (mainly glucose from carbohydrates), Monoacylglycerol and Long-Chain Fatty Acids (from lipids), and Small Peptides and Amino Acids (from protein)
TRUE OR FALSE: Glucose are from carbohydrates.
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE: Monoacylglycerol and short-chain fatty acids are from lipids.
FALSE: Monoacylglycerol and LONG-chain fatty acids are from lipids.
TRUE OR FALSE: Small peptides and amino acids are from carbohydrates.
FALSE: Small peptides and amino acids are from protein.
Primary the conversion of the food from carbohydrates, fats, and protein.
Bioenergetics
Process of breaking down large molecules into smaller molecules.
Catabolism
Large molecules are synthesized from the molecules.
Anabolism
Result of the human body’s continuous state of catabolism and anabolism.
Metabolism
ANABOLIC OR CATABOLIC: Exercise includes weight training.
Anabolic Processes
ANABOLIC OR CATABOLIC: Builds and maintains muscle tissue.
Anabolic Processes
ANABOLIC OR CATABOLIC: Releases ATP energy.
Catabolic Processes
ANABOLIC OR CATABOLIC: Does not utilize oxygen.
Anabolic Processes
ANABOLIC OR CATABOLIC: Functional at body activities.
Catabolic Processes
ANABOLIC OR CATABOLIC: Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
Catabolic Processes
ANABOLIC OR CATABOLIC: Cortisol, glucagon, adrenaline, cytokines.
