Physiology 2130 Lecture Notes - Acetyl-Coa, Adipose Tissue, Oxidative Phosphorylation
Document Summary
List all the hormones that would be involved. This will require you to combine everything you know about digestion and metabolism. In the last section, we saw how food is broken down and then absorbed into the circulatory system. It is now time to see what happens to it next: essentially, the fats, carbohydrates, and proteins are used for energy or to build structures, metabolism: Defined as the chemical changes that occur within a cell to either manufacture energy, store energy, or build new cell structures. The two types of metabolism are listed below: you should remember that the energy molecule used by the body is called adenosine triphosphate, or atp. 1: recall that all of the food we saw in the digestive module is made up of smaller building blocks, triglycerides: Make up most of the fat found in the body. Consist of three fatty acid chains attached to one molecule of glycerol: proteins:
