Metabolism

Question 0

What is catabolism?

Answer 0

Breakdown of larger molecules to smaller
Produces ATP
Active Tx

Question 1

What is metabolism?

Answer 1

Chemical reactions in the body. Converts good to energy

Breakdown and production of organic molecules eg carbohydrates lips proteins

Question 2

What is anabolism?

Answer 2

Join smaller molecules to form larger
Uses ATP
Build and synthesis molecules eg cells, hormones/ neurotransmitters, muscle/ bone growth

Question 3

What is ATP?

Answer 3

Energy to:
Perform maintenance and repair
Support growth
Produce secretions
Build nutrient reserve

Question 4

What is anaerobic metabolism?

Answer 4

Absence of O2 where lactic acid is metabolised resulting in O2.

Question 5

What happens with increased lactic acid?

Answer 5

Produces acidosis

Question 6

What is aerobic metabolism?

Answer 6

In presence of O2.

Large amounts can be produced and is preferred route

Question 7

What happens in lipid metabolism?

Answer 7

Lipolysis
Breaks down to glycerol (enters pyruvate and Krebs cycle) and fatty acid (beta oxidation -no insulin inhibition, enters Krebs cycle) and produces ketones
Makes the most ATP -144

Question 8

What happens with carbohydrate metabolism?

Answer 8

Glucose enters cell cytoplasm (glycolysis) converting to pyruvate.
Enters mitochondria Krebs cycle with O2.
Produce 34 ATP

Question 9

What happens with protein metabolism?

Answer 9

Enters cell cytoplasm
Converts to amino acid
Enters mitochondria Krebs cycle and at pyruvate
Not very effective production of ATP
