Metabolism Flashcards
S: 28
What are the three stages involved in the process of NRG
Stage 1: digestion in the GI tract
Stage 2: occurs in cell cytoplasm
Stage3: almost entirely catabolic in the mito.
______ of Proteins, carbs, and fats are converted to ATP
oxidation
most abundant source of high NRG phosphate bonds in the cells
phosphate creatine
- used to restore low levels of ATP
______: the amt of NRG liberated per unit of time
metabolic rate
_____: NRG released during metabolism that is required for day to day life
basal meabolic rate (BMR)
_____ is used to measure BMR
calotrimetry
____: awake, complete rest, 12 hours since last meal
basal
- to test basal
- basal is lower than resting metabolic rate (RMR)
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) is tested ____ hours after last meal
3-4
____: unit of NRG released from foods or expended by functional processes of the body
Calorie
_____: heat necessary to raise temp of one gram of water one degree C
small “c” (GRAM CALORIE)
______: heat necessary to raise temp of one kg of water by one degree C
Capital “C” (kilocalorie)
- small c= raise temp of one gram
____ is the most common way to measure BMR
indirect calorimetry
- O2 comsumption by measuring gas exchange during respiration by portable machine
____ ppl have a higher MR
ectomorph (tall and lean)
____ ppl have a lower MR
endomorph (short and fat )
What are three endocrine hormones that will increase MR
thyroxine
testosterone
Growth hormone
