Study Notes

ATP Functions

ATP is essential for various cellular activities, including:
- Chemical work: Provides energy for the synthesis of complex substances like biomolecules.
- Mechanical work: Powers cellular functions like blood circulation, muscle contraction, and heart pumping.
- Transport work: Enables movement of substances across cell membranes and substrate binding to enzymes.

Body Mass Index (BMI)

BMI is a measure used to assess weight relative to height.
It's calculated using a formula and is an indicator for certain metabolic and disease outcomes.
BMI does not directly measure body fat or fatness but can be a reliable indicator for weight categories.

Body (Basal) Metabolic Rate (BMR)

BMR is the minimal energy, expressed in calories, needed for basic physiological functions such as breathing, digestion, and brain activity.
BMR constitutes about 70% of a human's total energy expenditure.
It reflects energy used by the body's tissues and organs to maintain essential life processes.
