Document Summary
Anabolic reactions build things such as proteins with energy. Catabolic reactions break down to create energy. Basically a cycle of building and breaking down. Either using atp directly or breaking things down for their atp. Nad and fad are examples of coenzymes. Coa is another which carriers acetyl groups. Digestion and catabolism aren"t the same thing. C55h106o6 is one of the formulas for fat. Some bodies prefer to use glucose as a substrate while other prefer fat. Respiratory exchange ratio will determine what exactly your body is burning. Don"t really to know the steps or what"s involved. 5% of energy comes from glycerol backbone. Burning fats will lead to less exhalation of co2 and thus a higher oxygen ratio. Fat breakdown is often called beta oxidation. Deamination is the first step in the process. Called ketogenic because it is assumed there is no glucose available. Fatty acid on its own isn"t very useful it needs to be activated.
