heat and work
one kilocalorie
the amount of heat needed to raised the temperature of 1L of water by 1*C.
How does a bomb calorimeter work?
Heat released from burned food is measured
Are bomb calorimeters over estimates or under?
over because we do not completely digest and absorb most foods
Which is more accurate: direct or indirect calorimetry?
direct
basal metabolic rate (BMR)
an individuals lowest metabolic rate
How is BMR usually measures?
as resting metabolic rate (RMR)
Factors that affect overall metabolic rate?
- age and sex
- amount of lean muscle mass
- activity level
- diet
- hormones
- genetics
All chemical reactions in the body fall into which 3 categories?
- extract energy from nutrients
- use energy for work
- store excess energy
Fed state is mainly…
anabolic
Skeletal muscle during fed state
- takes up glucose for energy and stores it as glycogen (70% of body storage)
- proteins stored for natural turnover
Liver during fed state
- convert glucose to glycogen (24% of body storage) and to fatty acids
- protein used for synthesis and converted to kept acids
Adipocytes in the fed state
- take up dietary triglycerides from chylomicrons
- excess glucose converted to triglycerides
- stores triglycerides synthesized in liver
Glycogen and protein storage ________, fat storage _________.
limited, unlimited
