Metabolism and Energy Flashcards
Metabolism
Total of all chemical reactions that occur in body
Anabolic
Building up
Catabolic
Tear down
Bioenergetics
Converting foodstuff into usable energy
Thermodynamics (1st Law)
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
Thermodynamics (2nd Law)
Process always go in order of randomness
Entropy
Quantity of heat in system able to do work
Cytosol
Anaerobic production w/o O2
Mitochondria
Aerobic production w/ O2
ATP
Energy made of adenine, ribose, 3 phosphate
Phosphorylation
Energy released can be used by body
Resynthesis
ATP made by recombination of ADP and Pi
ATP-PC System (Creatine)
Anaerobic, Immediate Energy, 7-12 sec.
What is Glycolysis?
Anaerobic, uses blood glucose
What is Anaerobic Threshold?
When latic acid builds up
