Document Summary
The macronutrients are used to serve a similar purpose (i. e. , to make the high energy compound adenosine triphosphate) but are metabolized by different processes: how the ingestion of different amounts of the macronutrients will affect how the human body"s cells will metabolize them in order to re synthesize adenosine triphosphate, how the human body metabolizes alcohol and how consumption will have a direct effect on health. The health care practitioner will gain an understanding of how the body reacts to different food sources of carbohydrates by appreciating the metabolic pathways in which cells use this macronutrient: the scientist will gain an appreciation of the intricate mechanisms involved in macronutrient metabolism by examining the interaction of various pathways (i. e. , glycolysis, kreb"s cycle, electron transport chain, etc, the health care practitioner will learn about the body"s metabolic reaction to feasting (i. e. , ingesting more energy than what is expended) or fasting (i. e. , very low caloric intake).
