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.
