Study Notes
Cellular Respiration and Energy
- The primary energy source for cellular respiration is glucose.
- The unit of energy used on nutritional labels is the calorie.
- The rate at which the body uses energy is called the metabolic rate.
- The basal metabolic rate refers to the minimum amount of energy required by the body at rest.
Enzymes and Catalysis
- Enzymes are biological molecules that speed up metabolic reactions.
- The role of activation energy in metabolic reactions is to overcome the energy barrier for catalysis.
- Enzymes work by lowering the activation energy barrier.
Fats and Proteins
- The primary product of the breakdown of fats is fatty acids.
- The subunits of proteins and fats are broken down into amino acids and fatty acids, respectively.
Physiology and Health
- The resting energy use in males per day is approximately 1,900 calories.
- The energy required to raise 1 g of water by 1°C is 1 calorie.
- A healthy range for Body Mass Index (BMI) is between 18.5 and 24.9.
- Type 1 diabetes is typically not due to obesity.
- The normal range for blood pressure is 90-120 mmHg systolic and 60-80 mmHg diastolic.
Cellular Respiration Processes
- Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of cells.
- In the presence of oxygen, aerobic respiration occurs.
- The main product of cellular respiration is ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
- The function of the citric acid cycle is to generate ATP and NADH.
- In anaerobic respiration, glucose is broken down into lactic acid.
- The main difference between aerobic and anaerobic exercise is the presence of oxygen.
Additional Facts
- The primary product of the initial step of cellular respiration (glycolysis) is pyruvate.
- Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the mitochondria.
- Gestational diabetes may develop just during pregnancy and resolve after childbirth.
