Metabolic Pathways and Energy Production

Question 1

UUN Test

Answer 1

Urinary Urea Nitrogen Test; method by which nitrogen can be measured in the urine

Question 2

Consequences of high protein intake

Answer 2

Excessive urea found in the urine; toxins will release and cause further damage to the liver and kidney

Question 3

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

Answer 3

Basic energy currency in most living organisms; only form of energy manufactured by the mitochondria

Question 4

Adenonsine Diphosphate (ADP)

Answer 4

Usually regenerated into ATP

Question 5

Pyruvate

Answer 5

End product of glycosis in the presence of oxygen

Question 6

Oxidative Phosporylation

Answer 6

Metabolic pathway occuring in the electron trasnport chain; energy is released by the oxidation of chemical compounds

Question 7

Citirc Acid Cycle

Answer 7

Makes up all the processes that are involved in the metabolic chain of chemical reactions

Question 8

Electron Transport Chain

Answer 8

Chemical compounds generated during energy production are oxidized

Question 9

Acetyle CoA

Answer 9

A crucial part of the citirc acid cycle

Question 10

Insulin and glucagon

Answer 10

Primary two hormones in normal metabolism

Question 11

Glucagon

Answer 11

When secreted, it will inhibit anabolic processes

Question 12

Karvonen formula

Answer 12

Standard measure for determining exercise target heart rate at any given intensity

Question 13

Equation for the karvonen formula

Answer 13

RestHR + (Intensity level x (MaxHR - RestHR)) = ExHR
