Document Summary
What is metabolism? o o o o o. Sum of all chemical reactions in the body. Nutrients stored or energy extracted to be used for work. Anabolic pathway: large molecules synthesized from smaller ones. Catabolic pathway: breakdown of large molecules into smaller ones. Basal metabolic rate (bmr): an individual"s energy expenditure when resting, o comfortable temperature, fasted o o o o o o o exercise and others increase metabolic rate. Energy balance: we control caloric intake and exercise. These reactions determine the breakdown of food we eat. Breakdown of small and large molecules - metabolism. Breakdown of large molecules" bonds to use their energy. Metabolic rate refers to energy expenditure or usage. Higher metabolic rate just means have a greater burn on energy such as. What are the metabolic processes in the fed and fasted state? o as glycerol and amino acids. Gluconeogenesis: synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate substrates such.
