Document Summary

Lysosome (recycling nutrients), stomach of the cell . Cellular respiration - a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (atp), and then release waste products. Catabolism - the process of breaking things (nutrients) down into a form of energy. Anabolism - set of metabolic pathways that constructs molecules from smaller units. Glucose, amino acids, fatty acids ----> anabolism catabolism ----> cycles into itself. - carried out via iron, a necessary micronutrient -- Sugar, protein, and fats are a part of the citric acid cycle that occurs inside mitochondria. Single cells communicate, or unify , for energy acquisition. Energy balance = energy in - energy out. Positive/negative energy balance: what you would expect from ^^ Energy out (a) basal metabolism - energy to maintain life processes (b) thermic effect of food - energy cost for digestion.
