comes from the food that has been consumed. Metabolism refers to chemical reactions responsible for energy transfer within the body (Moffet‚ Moffet‚ & Schauf‚ 1993). Once food enters the body it must go through a series of chemical events in order to be converted to chemical energy ready to be utilised (McArdle‚ Katch & Katch‚ 2007). As reported by Plowman and Smith (2011)‚ the metabolic system has two main functions: anabolism and catabolism. Anabolism is a process in which energy is used to build

In the Calvin cycle‚ carbon atoms from CO2 are fixed and used to build three-carbon sugars. This process is fueled by‚ and dependent on‚ ATP and NADPH from the light reactions. Unlike the light reactions‚ which take place in the thylakoid membrane‚ the reactions of the Calvin cycle take place in the stroma. In the Calvin cycle‚ getting pulled into the cells using RUBISCO to facilitate the process incorporated gaseous CO2 molecules. RUBISCO acts much like a sponge with a great absorptive power to

oxygenated blood from the lungs to the body organs and returns with deoxygenated blood. Energy metabolism comes in different types such as Anabolism and Catabolism energy. They all make sure that energy breaks down and is reused to keep the body working correctly for example muscle mass and increase in bone. With the cardiovascular system and respiratory system working together with energy metabolism is when the respiratory system takes in oxygen from the lungs and then it is placed in the circulatory

This therefore restricts substrates being broken down by enzymes to allow the human body to function properly since the heavy metals take similar pathways to that of essential nutrients. Metabolism and any sort of necessary chemical processes will not be preceded properly and therefore the maintenance of the living state of cells will prove to be futile as eventually they will die.

P4- Explain the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body. Energy is the strength and ability that is required in order to perform physical or mental activities. There are different forms of energy these consist of: magnetic‚ kinetic‚ heat‚ light‚ gravitational‚ chemical‚ sound‚ electrical‚ elastic and nuclear. The law‚ conservation of energy states that the total amount of energy within a system remains constant at all times‚ although energy within the system

The Carbon Cycle The element Carbon is the principle block for the organic compounds that make up life. This is because the study of the Carbon Cycle draws upon theories from biology‚ chemistry‚ geology and oceanography in order to understand the movement of carbon throughout the atmosphere‚ hydrosphere‚ and geosphere. Carbon is made up of four electrons that are able to form with each other; this causes the many different forms of carbon. The most popular form of carbon is carbon dioxide; this
