Document Summary

Chapter 14: energy generation in mitochondria and chloroplasts. Cells obtain most of their energy by a membrane-based mechanism. Main chemical energy currency in cells is atp. Electrons derived from the oxidation of food molecules or from other sources are transferred along the electron- transport chain. Election transfers release energy that is used to pump protons across the membrane and generate an electrochemical proton gradient. Proton flows back down its electrochemical gradient through a protein complex called atp synthase, which catalyzes the energy-requiring synthesis of atp from. A mitochondrion contains an outer membrane, an inner membrane, and two internal compartments. Outer membrane contains many molecules of a transport protein called porin, which forms wide aqueous channels through the lipid bilayer. The inner membrane is impermeable to the passage of ions and most small molecules. Site of electron transport and proton pumping. Forms a series of infoldings known as cristae. The citric acid cycle generates high-energy electrons.

Part 3

Alex, Kim, and Jenna have different levels of activity, and thus require a varied amount of calories per day. Alex is an athlete, and he requires 3500 calories per day to fuel his high intensity activity. Jenna is a secretary and is sedentary most of her day. Her low level of activity requires a mere 1800 calories a day, while Kim, a professional dancer, needs 2800 calories per day to fuel her moderate level of activity.

Profession	Secretary	Professional Dancer	Athlete
Level of Activity	Low	Moderate	High
Caloric Needs	1800 Calories/Day	2800 Calories/Day	3500 Calories/Day

Fats are broken down in cellular respiration to generate the ATP needed to fuel our bodies. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Percent Recommended Daily value for fats in a balanced diet should not exceed more than 30% of the total daily calorie intake. Fats provide 9 calories per gram.

Nutritional needs of Jenna

What question would this calculation answer?
Finding 30% of 1800 calories and then dividing by 9 calories per gram.
1800 calories x 0.30 = 440 calories
440 calories/9 calories per gram = 49 grams

I know that this alot of questions, but it's kinda a last ditch effort. these are the last 42 definitions i have left to answer out of 500 question for my final exam study guide. so whatever help i can get is fine. No explanations needed just what each definition is explaining and thanks in advance ladies and gentlemen.
