BIOL 2160 : Test 3
Document Summary
Chapters 21 and 24: energy balance and diabetes. Inside of cells, biomolecules can be: broken down to release energy, used to synthesize other molecules, converted to energy storage molecules, glycogen (carbohydrates, triglycerides (fat, any excess glucose is converted to glycogen. When all the room for glycogen is taken up, glucose is then stored as fat: glycogen is for short term energy. Fat is what happens when you take in more energy than you are using. Basal metabolic rate (bmr: metabolic rate of person who is awake, lying down, physically/mentally relaxed, and fasted for 12 hours, roughly equal to rate of oxygen consumption, the harder you"re breathing, the more glucose you are burning. Energy balance: energy stored=energy input energy output, (energy output= work performed + heat released, energy input= what you ate if the number is negative, you will lose weight. If the number is positive, you will gain weight.
