____ is all chemical reactions that occur in the body
metabolism
____ is the breaking down of all substances
catabolism
___ = synthesis
Anabolism
____ provides energy needed for homeostasis
metabolism
In the process of ____, cells continually break down and replace all their organic compounds except DNA
metabolic turnover
All of the cell’s organic building blocks form a ____ - an accessible reserve of organic substances that can be used for metabolic turnover or energy production
nutrient pool
Generation of ATP comes from the breakdown of ____
carbohydrates
____ is mitochondrial activity that is responsible for ATP production (Aerobic, Anaerobic)
Cellular respiration
____ is the process of producing cellular energy involving oxygen
Aerobic
___ is the process of producing cellular energy without oxygen
anaerobic
____ occurs in the cytoplasm. The desired outcome is 2 pyruvic acid. 4 ATP are produced, 2 NADH are produced
glycolysis
____ occurs in the mitochondria. The desired outcome is NADH and FADH. 2 ATP are produced, 6 NADH and 2 FADH are produced
Citric Acid Cycle
____ occurs in the mitochondrial membrane. The desired outcome is lots of ATP. 34 ATP are produced/used. No NADH and FADH.
Electron transport chain
The total number of ATP molecules produced per molecule of glucose metabolized is ____
36
Can your body burn amino acids and lipids for fuel? Answer:____
yes
The potentially harmful byproducts of fatty acid (lipids) to glucose is ___
keytones
The potentially harmful byproducts of amino acids to glucose is ___
ammonia
____ is considered “bad cholesterol” because it has less protein, more fat. Liver creates this in order to transport lipid to tissue for deposition-depositing fat to tissues; too much fat-depositing things inappropriately.
LDL
____ is considered “good cholesterol” because it has less fat –> made by liver to go to tissues to grab lipids to bring back so you can burn them for fuel
HDL
The most abundant extracellular ion in the body is ___ sodium anion-chloride
Cation
The most abundant intracellular ion in the body is ___ potassium anion-hydrogen phosphate
cation
___ is essential for normal muscle, neuron function, and normal bone structure
calcium
___ is stored in liver and adipose–need fat with vitamin so you can dissolve–lipid helps transport across membrane
Fat soluble
___ is filtered in kidneys and is excreted
water soluble
