a membrane against the solute’s concentration gradient (the side where it is more concentrated) Feedback inhibition: Metabolic reaction is blocked by its products. A product acts as an inhibitor of one of the enzymes in the pathway to regulate metabolism. Centriole: a structure in an animal cell composed of microtubule triplets arranged in a 9+0 pattern. An animal usually has a pair of centrioles within each of its centrosomes. Chloroplasts: photosynthesizing organelles of all photosynthetic eukaryotes

Worksheet 7-A: Metabolism Exercises Name __ _________________________ Metabolism explains how the cells in the body use nutrients to meet its needs. Cells may start with small‚ simple compounds and use them as building blocks to form larger‚ more complex structures (anabolism). These anabolic reactions involve doing work and so require energy. Alternatively‚ cells may break down large compounds into smaller ones (catabolism). Catabolic reactions usually release energy. Determine whether the

Macronutrients are nutrients that provide carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and lipids. Nutrients are substances needed for growth‚ metabolism‚ and for other body functions.

Ions‚ atoms and molecules are constantly in random motion; this is mainly marked in liquids and gases as they are further apart. When there is a small amount of molecules of a substance in an area and a large number is another area and they have no barrier between them the random motion causes numbers to even up; this is called diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move from a high concentration to a low concentration. The concentration gradient is when the concentration is different for each

Thyroid hormones are key metabolic hormones that play a critical role in controlling the rate of metabolic reactions in the body (Adams et al.‚ 2010). With low T3 and T4 levels‚ it causes a decrease in the metabolic rate‚ which causes a decrease in lipid metabolism in the body‚ leading to the accumulation of cholesterol. According to Pucci et al.‚ TH stimulates increase mobilization of triglycerides to be stored in adipose tissue and stimulates the elimination of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) (Pucci et

The study of metabolism reaches as far back as the thirteenth century. With it‚ things like the citric acid cycle‚ mitochondrial physiology‚ and diseases like diabetes have been better understood. The overall concept of metabolism is key in any biological field and it helps ensure the survival of an organism. It does so by converting things like food that we ingest into energy via a series of somewhat complex biochemical reactions. This energy can then be used for a multitude of things including

The consumption of alcoholic beverages dates back to approximately 10‚000 years ago when viticulture’ (the selective cultivation of grape vines for making wine) is said to have originated in the mountains between the Black and Caspian Seas. (1) It is one of the most commonly used psychoactive drugs in the world. Alcohol interacts with gamma amino bultyric acid (GABA) receptors in the
