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.
