    Unit 5 Outcome 2 – Energy Metabolism Booklet The Respiratory System The respiratory system consists of the nose‚ mouth‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ bronchi and lungs. These provide a passageway to allow air in and out of the body. Every cell in the body requires oxygen to survive. The primary function of the respiratory system is the exchange of gases. The respiratory system allows oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange‚ this is necessary to sustain life. During the process of breathing air is inhaled

    Metabolism is all the chemical reactions that occur within an organism. Metabolism has two-way trajectory organic chemical reactions‚ namely catabolism to unravel molecular organic compounds to gain energy‚ and anabolime of reactions that compose organic compounds of certain molecules‚ which will be absorbed by the body cells. The second track is required by the organism to survive. But with age someone then your metabolism will slow down. It required a variety of ways and methods to speed up the

    Matt Feldman Mr. Mosher AP Bio 12/6/2012 The Metabolism of Alcohol This article describes the process the liver undergoes to breakdown the alcohol in your blood stream. Also it discusses the consequences of heavy drinking and the damage it causes to your body. The only cells in our body that can metabolize ethanol are in our liver. In the cells NAD+ oxidizes the ethanol to acetic acid‚ which generates an excess amount of NADH‚ which gives its electrons to the ETC. Then Oxidative phosphorylation

    immunities‚ maintaining electrolyte levels‚ water and nutrient balance‚ and metabolism. Metabolism involves catabolism‚ which is a process where complex molecules are broken into simple substances‚ and anabolism which is the process when simple substances are made into complex molecules by the use of enzymes. During the catabolism process the energy is released and is used to make ATP. The most important hormone in maintaining metabolism is thyroxine which is produced by the thyroid gland. The production

    Metabolism Figure 1 above is adapted from João M‚ et al (2012) the chromatographic methodologies for analysis of cocaine and its metabolites which‚ shows the metabolic pathway of cocaine administrated. Cocaine is largely metabolized into two major metabolites benzoylecgonine (BE) and ecgonine methyl ester (EME) and two minor metabolites norcocaine (NCOC) and m- and p-hydroxycocaine (OH-COC) (Goldstein et al.‚ 2009). Benzoylecgonine is primarily produce in the liver by human carbozylerstrase type

    Metabolic Rate of a Mouse Lab Write-Up A . The purpose of this experiment was to measure the oxygen consumption of a mouse in which I concluded that they would have less consumption considering their much smaller size. It turned out that they produced 60 O /min which means they use about 0.0024 cal/min or 3.5 cal/day. That is indeed less than the amount we humans use‚ but if the given the mass of a human‚ they would use 15‚ 313 cal/day which is more than the 2‚000 calories we use on an

    ( Check Nutrition Unit 21) Define metabolism and describe the two forms; Anabolism and Catabolism and give examples of each? Metabolism: Every time food is swallowed‚ the body works hard to process the nutrients that have been consumed. Long after the food is digested‚ the nutrients the body has now eaten become the building blocks and the fuel of the body to keep it going. The body gets the energy it needs from food‚ and this is called metabolism. Metabolism is a collection of chemical reactions
