Document Summary
Overview of cellular metabolism: oxygen is consumed and carbon dioxide is produced. Direct and indirect calorimetry: measurements of metabolic rate. Metabolic rate and body size: larger the animal the more food it requires the greater the metabolic rate. As a whole: metabolic rate as a function of body weight; smaller animals require more energy on a per weight basis than a larger animal. Moves through the citric acid cycle: or krebs cycle, produces co2 nadh and fadh, nadh and fadh carry electrons through the electron transport chain. Don"t need to know this pathway for this course. 1 conversion of pyruvic acid into acetyl co-a. Referred to as reducing equivalents and pass their electrons along the electron transport chain. Don"t need to know the pathway for etc. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the etc. Electrons are in the form of a proton (hydrogen ion) Oxygen is reduced into a water molecule.
