    Unit 5 Outcome 2 – Energy Metabolism Booklet The Respiratory System The respiratory system consists of the nose‚ mouth‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ bronchi and lungs. These provide a passageway to allow air in and out of the body. Every cell in the body requires oxygen to survive. The primary function of the respiratory system is the exchange of gases. The respiratory system allows oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange‚ this is necessary to sustain life. During the process of breathing air is inhaled

    Biochemistry Task 5 Shannon Alford Lipid Storage Molecule Conversion to ATP Lipids (also known as fats) are nonpolar‚ insoluble molecules gained within the body trough digestion of food. Triglycerides‚ a type of lipid that serve as storage units for energy have 3 fatty acid chain tails made up of carboxylic acid and a fatty carbon chain attached to a glycerol backbone. These molecules can be saturated or unsaturated contingent on the bond types and hydrogen number in the molecule. Anytime a fatty

    Lipids & Fat Casey G. Turner‚ RN Western Governors University Lipids & ATP • Fatty acids are important to energy production. They generate ATP. • This is completed by: 1. Starting with a triglyceride molecule the fatty acid part separates from the glycerol part of the molecule. 2. Once separated‚ the fatty acid chain will break into sections. Each section will be composed of 2 carbon molecules. 3. Each of the carbon pieces will form Acetyl CoA. Each Acetyl CoA enters the Krebs Cycle. 4. It is

    Presence of Lipids Aim: To establish which food substances contain lipids. Hypothesis: 1. All diary products will contain lipids. 2. All animal tissue will contain lipids. 3. All plant storage organ products‚ i.e. seeds‚ will contain lipids. Introduction: Lipids are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Ethanol is an example of an organic polar solvent which will dissolve lipids to a limited extent. However ethanol is miscible with water so when a solution of lipid and ethanol

    Galactosemia Galactosemia is an inborn error of metabolism. Because of energy barriers‚ essentially none of the chemical reactions that take place in living things could occur at any measurable rate without the presence of a catalyst. Most catalysts in living things are enzymes that depend on their structure to be able to function. Their structure is determined by their coding on DNA. Inborn errors of metabolism‚ like the one seen in galactosemia‚ are caused by defective genes. Galactosemia

    Protein SCI/241 Protein A protein are organic compounds that made up of amino acids and are the building blocks of the cells in the body. Every cell in the body requires proteins to grow and repair themselves so these proteins are necessary for a healthy body and survival. Having so much protein can hurt your body so when you consume so much can get you sick and the right size of protein can keep you from getting sick. They’re five types of protein in everything that we eat. The largest class

    immunities‚ maintaining electrolyte levels‚ water and nutrient balance‚ and metabolism. Metabolism involves catabolism‚ which is a process where complex molecules are broken into simple substances‚ and anabolism which is the process when simple substances are made into complex molecules by the use of enzymes. During the catabolism process the energy is released and is used to make ATP. The most important hormone in maintaining metabolism is thyroxine which is produced by the thyroid gland. The production

    ( Check Nutrition Unit 21) Define metabolism and describe the two forms; Anabolism and Catabolism and give examples of each? Metabolism: Every time food is swallowed‚ the body works hard to process the nutrients that have been consumed. Long after the food is digested‚ the nutrients the body has now eaten become the building blocks and the fuel of the body to keep it going. The body gets the energy it needs from food‚ and this is called metabolism. Metabolism is a collection of chemical reactions
