Q

Metabolism Definition

A

•Sum of all physical and chemical reactions in the body in order to sustain life

22
Q

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP): X calories per mole under standard condition?

A

ATP releases 7,300 calories per mole under standard conditions but as much as 12,000 calories under physiological conditions, which is vested in each of its two high-energy phosphate bonds.

Some chemical reactions that require ATP energy use only a few hundred of the available 12,000 calories and the remained of this energy is lost in the form of heat.

23
Q

ATP is generated by combustion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins…

Combustion of carbohydrates:

A

mainly glucose but other sugars such as fructose through glycolysis in the cytoplasm and the citric acid cycle in the mitochondria.

24
Q

ATP is generated by combustion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins…

Combustion of fatty acids:

A

Combustion of fatty acids in the cell mitochondria by beta-oxidation.

25
Q

ATP is generated by combustion of carbohydrates, fats and proteins…

Combustion of proteins:

A

Combustion of proteins which requires hydrolysis to their component amino acids and degradation of amino acids to intermediate compounds of the citric acid cycle and then to acetyl coenzyme A and carbon dioxide.

26
Q

Phosphocreatine

A
  • Phosphocreatine also contains high-energy phosphate bonds and is three to eight more times more abundant than ATP.
  • Also the high-energy bond of phosphocreatine contains about 8500 calories per mole under standard conditions and as many as 13,000 calories per mole under conditions in the body.
  • Unlike ATP, phosphocreatine cannot act as a direct coupling agent for energy transfer between food and the functional cellular systems but it can transfer energy interchangeably with ATP.
  • When extra amount of ATP are found in the cell they are used to create phosphocreatine building up a store.
  • Then when ATP begins to get used up the energy in the phosphocreatine is transferred rapidly back to ATP and then to the functional systems of the cells.

Q

Metabolic Rate

A

•The rate of heat liberation/metabolism during chemical reactions per unit time

32
Q

Types of MR

A
  1. Basal metabolic rate (BMR)
  2. Resting metabolic rate (RMR)
33
Q

What influences the MR?

A

increases:

  • Age
  • Gender
  • Exercise
  • Thyroid hormone
  • Testosterone
  • Growth hormone
  • Sympathetic stimulation
  • Fever

Decreases

  • Sleep
  • Malnutrition
  • Exercise: You need more energy. The factor that most dramatically increases metabolic rate is strenuous exercise. Maximal muscle exercise can increase the overall heat production of the body for a few seconds to about 50x normal or about 20x normal for more sustained exercise in a well trained individual.
  • Fever: Increases MR. Increases the chemical reactions of the body by about 120% for every 10°C rise in temperature.
  • Sleep: Decreases MR. MR decreases 10 to 15 % below normal during sleep. This fall is due to two principal factors:
    • 1.Decreased tone of the skeletal musculature during sleep.
    • 2.Decreased activity of the central nervous system.
  • Progesterone: When a woman enters the luteal phase of her menstrual cycle, her BMR will increase by 9%. Presumably, it happens due to elevation of progesterone hormone secretion by the corpus luteum.
