Document Summary

Catabolism : all of the metabolic processes that tear down biomolecules. Chewing up biomolecules to make them easier to utilize. Water is used to break the bonds in those molecules. These smaller molecules are then sent off to the cells in your body to participate in cellular respiration, which is a process that converts biochemical energy to atp, a high-energy molecule. These are both very important processes, because atp is smaller ones as atp is created what your cells use to produce body heat, move your muscles, and other essential bodily functions. All of the metabolic processes that build biomolecules. Ex: building muscle tissue, creates new cells, mineralizes bone. They take smaller molecules that were broken down during catabolism and use them to build new, stronger material in your body. These 2 forms of metabolism work together to create a balance in your body. In healthy muscle tissue, muscle breakdown (catabolism) is equal to muscle building (anabolism)

In this weekâs forum article, Nutrient Utilization in Humans: Metabolism Pathways,(http://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/nutrient-utilization-in-humans-metabolism-pathways-14234029) the types of molecules and the mechanisms by which the potential chemical energy in those molecules is transformed into the type of energy capable of powering cellular work is discussed. After reading the article, answer the questions listed below. ( Read the article and answer the following questions)

1. What was Antoine Lavoisierâs major contribution to our understanding of energy metabolism in living organisms?

2. Max Rubner showed that carbohydrates and proteins produce approximately 4 Kcal/g of energy when oxidized, whereas lipids generate up to 9 Kcal/g. How can this difference be explained?

3. This article points out that a major misconception, especially for many undergraduates, is that human cells only use glucose as a fuel source. In fact, all three major absorbed end products of the digestion of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins can be utilized by most cells for the generation of ATP. What serves as the major entry point (mechanism) for these different classes of molecules that makes it possible for them to serve as fuel for ATP production? Why does this mechanism not work in the absence of oxygen? Hint: consider glycolysis and fermentation.

4. Although many of the approximately 200 cell types in the human body can utilize all three major classes of food molecules for energy, not all can. Why? Provide an example.
