Metabolism
Two Parts that Metabolism divided into
What is Anabolism and Catabolism
Animal starch; excess glucose stored in liver and skeletal muscle
What is Glycogen
Making glucose from non glucose sources (Such as protein)
Important in blood sugar regulation
What is Gluconogenesis
Organic compounds commonly called fats and oils
What is a Lipid
Most abundant organic matter in the body
What are Protiens
The processes are compared to the building and tearing down of …(in the book)
What is a Brick Wall
Made of many glucose molecules linked together
What is a Polysaccharide
The body must have a constant supply of glucose for fuel
Glucose can be made from non-carbohydrate substances
What is the making of glucose
Triglycerides
Phospholipids
Steroids
What are the Most common types of lipids
Must be included in diet
What is Essential Amino Acids
Reactions that build larger, more complex substances from simpler substances
What is Anabolism
Double Sugar Compounds
What is a Disaccharide
Glucose —> carbon dioxide, water, and ATP
What is Aerobic Catabolism: Oxygen present
Contain mostly triglycerides
Role: Transport triglycerides to adipose tissue and muscle
What is Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)
Body can synthesize these
What is Non-Essential Amino Acids
Reactions that break down other, more complex substances into simpler substances
What is Catabolism
Single Sugar Copounds
What is a Monosaccharides
Glycolysis, Glucose —> Lactic Acid
What is Anaerobic catabolism: Oxygen absent
Cholesterol is the core lipid
Role: deliver cholesterol to non-hepatic tissue
What is low-density lipoprotein (LDL)
Synthesis of hormones, enzymes, antibodies, plasma and muscle proteins, hemoglobin, and most cell membranes
What are the uses of Proteins
The series of chemical reactions necessary for the use of raw material
What is Metabolism
Organic compounds made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
What is a Carbohydrates
Burned immediately for fuel
Stored in glycogen and burned as fuel later
Stored as fat and burned as fuel later
What are the Uses of Glucose
Cholesterol is the core lipid
Role: Carry cholesterol from peripheral tissues to liver for excretion
What is High-density lipoprotein (HDL)
The elimination of nitrogen
What is Urea
