Document Summary

Metabolism: the sum of all the chemical reactions that take place within the 10 trillion cells in the body. These reactions follow metabolic pathways: the end-product of one chemical reaction is the starting product for the next reaction. Anabolic reactions - require atp to combine smaller molecules, such as glucose. Micronutrients from foods are metabolized to release energy for atp synthesis. Macronutrients are disassembled into co2 and h20 while capturing the released energy as adenosine triphosphate (anabolism) Macronutrients are oxidized in this metabolic pathway. Oxidation/oxidized: chemical process of giving up electrons. Coenzymes accept and transport the electrons removed from macronutrients. Synthesis requires niacin and tryptophan or aspartic acid. Atp is a high-energy molecule composed of adenine, ribose, and three phosphate molecules. Any source of macronutrients can be used to generate atp. Breaking of the phosphate bond releases energy than can be used to metabolic reactions.
