Document Summary

Chapter 7: energy metabolism: metabolism: all the ways the body obtains and uses energy from food, anabolic reactions include the making of glycogen, triglycerides, and protein, these reactions require differing amounts of energy. Amino acids + amino acids > protein: catabolic reactions include the breakdown of glycogen, triglycerides and protein; the further catabolism of glucose, glycerol, acids, and amino acids releases differing amounts of energy. Much of the energy released is captured in the bonds of adenos triphosphate (atp) Just as a battery can be used to provide energy for a variety of uses, the energy from atp can be used to do most of the boys work contract muscles, transport compounds, make new molecules and more. With the loss of a phosphate group, high-energy atp (charged battery) becomes low- energy adp (used battery: energy is required when a phosphate group is attached to adp, making atp.
