2. Metabolism Metabolism:
Metabolism = all of the reactions in the body that involve energy transformation are collectively termed metabolism.
Metabolism:
1- Anabolism = the process of using energy to build up larger molecules. Here some of the energy used is stored in the new molecule. e.g. synthesis of glycogen, fat, and protein.
2- Catabolism = the process of releasing energy from larger food molecules by converting them into smaller molecules. e.g. breakdown of glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids and formation of ATP in the process.

3. Glycolysis Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide
Glycolysis = Breakdown of glucose to obtain energy.

6. Glycolysis Phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6 phosphate traps
glucose inside the cell.

7. Lactic Acid Pathway Glycolysis Glucose In the absence of oxygent
Anerobic respiration or Lactic acid Fermentation

8. Glycogenesis and Glycogenolysis
Cells can not accumulate free glucose because of osmotic effect which causes the water to enter the cell.
So glucose is stored in the form of glucose polymeres (Glycogen), particularly in liver, skeletal muscle and heart.
Formation of glycogen from glucose is called glycogenesis.

9. Glycogenesis and Glycogenolysis
Blood glucose that enters tissue cells is rapidly converted to glucose-6-phosphate. This intemediate can be metabolized for energy in glycolysis, or it can be converted to glaycogen (1) in a process called glycogenesis. Glycogen represents a storage form of carbohydrates which can be used as a new source of glucose (2) by glycogenolysis.

11. Aerobic Cell Respiration
Conversion of molecules such as glucose or fatty acid to CO2 & H2O in the presence of O2 is called aerobic cell respiration. O2

13. Main Events in Krebs Cycle
1- One guanosin triphosphate (GTP) is produced, which gives a phosphate group to ADP to produce one ATP.
2- Three molecules of NAD are reduced to NADH
3- One molecule of FAD is reduced to FADH2.
The production of NADH and FADH2 are far more significant in terms of energy production than GTP production.

14. Chemiosmotic Theory

15. Oxidative Phosphorylation
ATP is formed during oxidative phosphorylation by the flow of hydrogen ions across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Two or three molecules of ATP are produced per pair of electrons donated, depending on the point at which a particular coenzyme enters the electron-transport chain.

16. Net ATP production from Glucose

17. Heat Production in the Body
- Metabolic activity occurs in all cells of the body, therefore all cells are involved in the production of heat but there are certain tissues which produce more heat than others:
- Tissues with highest heat production:
- Liver
- Brain
- Endocrine Glands
- Skeletal muscle during exercise

18. Metabolic rate
Metabolic rate = the total rate of body metabolism. Body metabolism is measured by Calories.
- One calorie is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one cubic centimeter of water from 14.5 degrees to 15.5 degrees centigrade.
In an aerobic respiration one L of O2:
+ Carbohydrates Calories
+ Proteins Calories
+ Fat Calories
Therefore 1L of O2 + mixed food Calories

19. Basal Metabolic rate (BMR)
The metabolic rate of an awake, relaxed person hours after eating and at a comfortable temperature is known as Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).
BMR is determined by: age, sex, body surface area, and thyroid hormone secretion.
Basal conditions can be achieved by:
1- Avoiding exercise for at least 30 minutes before measuring BMR.
2- Complete mental rest.
3- Comfortable temperature.
4- Fasting for at least 12 hours.
5- Body temperature must be normal.

20. Methods for Measuring Metabolic rate
1- Direct Method:
Thermometer
Calorimeter

21. Methods for Measuring Metabolic rate
2- Indirect Method:

22. Units of Metabolic rate
- Metabolic rate is measured as:
Calories per square meter per hour (Calories/m2/hr)
m2 is the measure of body surface area.
As an example BMR can be calculated from the amount of O2 consumption:
A subject consumes 15 L of O2 in 1 hour at basal conditions,
Caloric equivalent of O2 is 4.8 Calories/L.
the subject’s body surface area is 1.5 m2,
What is this subject’s BMR?
Means for each L of O2
4.8 Calories heat is produced
15 x 4.8 = 72.4 Calories/hr
72.5
1.5
= 48.3 calories/m2/hr

23. Heat loss from the Body
Heat is lost from the body by: Radiation, Conduction and Evaporation

24. Body Temperature
The body maintains its temperature around 37 oC which is the optimum
for enzymes and biological reactions.
- To achieve this body must balance between heat production and heat loss.
