    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.
