Metabolism Flashcards
1
Q
Metabolism
A
- body preforms chemical reactions to stay alive
- all these reactions together are metbolism
- has catabolic and anabolic reactions
2
Q
Catabolic
A
the breakdown of materials in an organism
3
Q
anabolic
A
building complex molecules from simpler ones
converting glaucous into gylcogen
4
Q
energy for animals
A
- Not all types of living things require the same amount of energy
- endothermic animals and entothermic
5
Q
endothermic anaimls
A
- mammals/birds
- need more energy to main body temp
- constant internal body temp
6
Q
entothermic anaimls
A
- reptiles
- less energy demands
- can not survive in cold climates
- do not need to eat frequently
- proportional/same to ambient temp (outside temp)
7
Q
Effects on metbolism
A
body size
physical acvicty
age
Heredity Factors
sex
disease
8
Q
Effects on metbolism: Body size
A
- the more larger a body is, the more energy it needs
- the more cells a person as= more celular respiration= more metbolism/energy
9
Q
Effects on metbolism: physcial activity
A
- muscle needs more energy than fat, so active people need more enrgy
10
Q
Effects on metbolism: age
A
- metabolism decreases with age
11
Q
Effects on metbolism: sex
A
- typically males are larger in size and have more muslce making them have more enrgy needs
12
Q
Effects on metbolism: Heredity Factors
A
- some people have naturally high or low metablic rate
13
Q
Effects on metbolism: disease
A
- thyroid diease can increase or disease metabolism
14
Q
BMR
A
The amount of enrgy you need at rest
- basal metabolic rate
used to calucate
15
Q
healthy lifestyles
A
you need to have a balnce bwteen:
what you are eating
how much you are eating
how much physcial actvity you do
