cellular respiration is an example of chemical reactions. Throughout the chapter‚ the cell’s metabolism will be examined to understand how it controls the chemical reactions that take place in the cell. Section 6.1 - An Organism’s Metabolism Affects Energy and Matter The metabolism in cells is responsible for the series of chemical activities that take place in the cell. Metabolic Pathways The metabolism controls the material and energy resources of the cell. Through the

Carbohydrate Metabolism Carbohydrate metabolism starts with digestion in the small intestines. This is the site where monosaccharides are absorbed into the blood stream. This type of metabolism is basically considered to be glucose metabolism because carbohydrates are eventually broken down into glucose so that it can diffuse into the blood stream. There are three hormones in the body that control the concentration on glucose in the body: Insulin‚ glucagon‚ and epinephrine. If sugars are too

Muscular Strength and Endurance Lab The purpose of this lab was to provide muscular fitness tests to assess upper and lower body muscular strength and muscular endurance using resisted exercise or exercise machines. This was done through a number of tests including: max push-ups‚ max curl-ups‚ bench press‚ and leg press. Using a chart‚ the student was able to compare their max repetition of each exercise to the normal range for their age group. Muscular fitness tests are classified as increasing
