metabolism + biochemistry cont.

Question 1

metabolism (def)

Answer 1

total of all chemical reactions that occur in the body

Question 2

anabolic reactions (def)

Answer 2

the building up/synthesizing of molecules

Question 3

catabolic reaction (def)

Answer 3

the breaking down of molecules

Question 4

bioenergetics (def)

Answer 4

converting macronutrients (carbs, fats, alc, etc) into a useable form of cellular energy (atp)

Question 5

gatorade is BLANK percent carbs

Answer 5

7%

Question 6

how does the sucrose in gatorade get catabolized and processed

Answer 6

sucrose is broken into fructose and glucose

glucose goes straight to cells (fast)

fructose goes through liver then to cells (slower)

Question 7

hypertrophy (def)

Answer 7

cells (of all types) getting bigger

Question 8

hydrogen carrier molecules

Answer 8

NAD and FAD

Question 9

NAD turns into what when given 2H

Answer 9

NADH + H

Question 10

FAD turns into what when given 2H

Answer 10

FADH2

Question 11

polysaccharides (def)

Answer 11

long chain of sugars – “complex carbs”

Question 12

where are triglicerides stored

Answer 12

primarily in fat cells (adipocytes) in adipose tissue

also in skelital muscles as intramuscular triglycerides (marbling in meat)

Question 13

true/false: a single muscle fiber is a single muscle cell

Answer 13

true

Question 14

name the 2 bioenergetic pathways

Answer 14

the ATP-PC pathway and glycolysis
