Session 1 Flashcards
What is Energy
the capacity to do work
What is the unit of energy?
Joule and also calories
1cal=4.184j
In what forms energy exists
-Thermal
-Light
-Mechanical
-Electrical
-Osmotic
-Chemical
What chemical bond energy is used for?
It’s used to drive energy requiring activities in the cells of human body
What chemical bond energy used for?
Some of this energy is conserved by the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and phosphate (Pi)
The reminder of chemical bond energy is lost as what?
Remainder is lost as heat.
Controlled release of energy from ATP in cells (ATP-ADP cycle) is used to
perform biological work such as movement, membrane transport and biosynthesis.
Define metabolism
Is the processes which derive energy and raw materials support:
• repair
• growth
• activity of the tissues of the body
What is the two types of metabolism
Catabolism and anabolism
Define catabolism
Breaks down large molecules to small molecules to release Energy
Uses Energy to make molecules for growth and maintenance
Anabolism
daily energy expenditure has three components:
-Energy to support our basal metabolism-basal metabolic rate (BMR)
-Energy for voluntary physical activities
-Energy required to process the food we eat (diet-induced thermogenesis)
is the rate at which the body expends energy (calories) to maintain essential life functions at rest
BMR
Major tissues contributing BMR
-Skeletal muscle about 30% of BMR
-Liver 20%
-Brain 20%
-Heart 10%
-Other 20%
Percentage if fat carb and protein
58% carbohydrate, 12% protein, and 30% fat content
