Document Summary

Sum of all chemical reactions that occur in the body. Converting food (carbs, proteins, fats) to energy. Mrna leaves nucleus and binds to ribosome. Amino acids are carried to the ribosome by trna. In translation, mrna is used to determine the arrangement of amino acids in the polypeptide chain. Release energy (transfer to mechanical/chemical and thermal) Often involves the transfer of hydrogen atoms rather than free electrons: hydrogen atom contains one electron, a molecule that loses a hydrogen also loses an electron and therefore is oxidized. Catalysts that regulate the speed of reactions. Formation of atp: phosphocreatine (pcr) breakdown, degradation of glucose, oxidative formation of atp. Anaerobic pathways: do not involve oxygen, pc breakdown and glycolysis. Aerobic pathways: require oxygen, oxidative phosphorylation. Humans: made in 2 step process (liver and kidney) Found mostly in skeletal muscle, heart, spermatozoa, retinal cells. Important for atp re-synthesis for high intensity/velocity muscle contraction through creatine phosphate (phosphocreatine, pcr, crp)
