Metabolism Flashcards
energy produced by fatty acid metabolism
-10024 kJ/lol of palmitate
carbohydrates metabolised
-2813 kJ/lol of glucose
carbohydrate metabolism: C6H12O6 + 6O2
6CO2 + 6H2O + heat
fatty acid metabolism: C16H32O2 + 23O2
16CO2 + 16H2O + heat
factors to adjust for
loss in faeces- fibre, cellulose and nitrogen not oxidised- excreted in urine
anabolism
ATP= cellular work+ ADP+ Pi
catabolism
ADP+Pi + energy from food = ATP
bomb calorimetry
determined enthalpy of combustion. uses pressure, consist of sample, oxygen bomb and water
direct calorimetry
measures heat output from individual whole body calorimeter. determines BMR
indirect calorimetry
based on O2 consumption and CO2 production. allows calculation of Eexpenditure
basal metabolism- E expenditure at rest
muscle contractions, nerve conduction, ion transport, synthesis of macromolecules, maintenance of body heat
basal metabolism- increased
athletic training, late pregnancy, fever, drugs, hyperthyroidism
basal metabolism- decrease
malnutrition, sleep, drugs, hypothyroidism
carbohydrates =
monosaccharides
protein =
amino acids
