    Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to see how the changes in exercise intensity affect the rate of metabolism within the body. Methods: In this lab‚ indirect calorimetry was used to measure metabolic rate by calculating caloric expenditure by the measurements of oxygen consumption. The variables measured were the fraction of oxygen expired‚ the fraction of carbon dioxide expired‚ and the total volume of air inspired. This experiment required the participation of two volunteers. First‚ the variables

    The term metabolism is often used to indicate especially the breakdown of food and its transformation into energy. Although weight loss is a matter of sacrifice‚ the reality is that there is a bunch of ways to lose weight quickly. One is to increase metabolism which will help us gain the results so quickly. But how you can speed up metabolism? Big Question! But don’t worry. Here we show 6 ideas for you how to increase metabolism faster. 6 ways to increase metabolism/ foods that increase metabolism

    3 Yeast Metabolism Metabolism refers to the biochemical assimilation (in anabolic pathways) and dissimilation (in catabolic pathways) of nutrients by a cell. Like in other organisms‚ in yeast these processes are mediated by enzymic reactions‚ and regulation of the underlying pathways have been studied in great detail in yeast. Anabolic pathways include reductive processes leading to the production of new cellular material‚ while catabolic pathways are oxidative processes which remove electrons

    carbohydrates and lipids. Carbohydrates‚ which have the empirical formula (CH2O)n‚ acts as the predominant source of metabolic energy in muscle cells during exercise. They are stored in the liver and muscle cells as glycogen which is a branched polymer. Lipids mainly exist as triglycerides‚ which are made up of three fatty acids joined to one glycerol molecule‚ and are stored in adipose tissue. However‚ lipids exist as ketone bodies when in excess. Before a

    BIOLOGY HSC NOTES MAINTAINING A BALANCE • Identify the role of enzymes in metabolism‚ describe their chemical composition and use a simple model to describe their specificity on substrates. Enzymes are protein molecules that allow the body to engage in chemical reactions‚ such as metabolism. There activities can be catalytic (being able to control the rate of either increasing/decreasing chemical reaction) Enzymes have a specific shape‚ and this shape must be intact‚ otherwise the effectiveness

    Cellular metabolism encompasses the many processes that work together to keep the cells in dynamic equilibrium. Cellular metabolism is responsible for providing energy to the cell and is an essential element of life. There are several complex‚ involved processes involved in cellular metabolism including glycolysis‚ Krebs’s cycle‚ and electron transport. Metabolism itself can be broken down into two different categories: catabolic and anabolic. Catabolic metabolism involves the breakdown of large
