Exam #3 Key Terms Flashcards
The flow of energy in a biological system; the conversion of macronutrients into biologically usable forms of energy
bioenergetics
The breakdown of large molecules into smaller molecules, associated with the release of energy.
Catabolism
The synthesis of larger molecules from smaller molecules; can be accomplished using the energy released from catabolic reactions
Anabolism
Energy releasing reactions that are generally catabolic
Exergonic reactions
require energy and include anabolic processes, and the contraction of muscle
Endergonic reactions
The total of all the catabolic, or exergonic and anabolic or endergonic reactions in a biological system
Metabolism
allows the transfer of energy from exergonic to endergonic reactions
adenosine triphosphate
A procedure, for assessing ability in a particular endeavor
Test
A test used to assessability that is performed away from the laboratory and does not require extensive training or expensive equipment
Field test
The process of collecting test data
Measurement
The process of analyzing test results for the purpose of making decisions
Evaluation
A test administered one or more times during the training period to assess progress and modify the program as needed to maximize benefit
Mid test
Periodic reevaluation based on mid test administered during the training, usually at regular intervals
Formative evaluation
A test administered after the training period to determine the success of the training program and achieving the training objectives
Post test
