Question Answer
Bioenergetics The study of energy in the human body.
Metabolism All of the chemical reactions that occur in the body to maintain itself. Metabolism is the process in which nutrients are acquired, transported, used, and disposed of by the body.
Exercise Metabolism The examination of bioenergetics as it relates to the unique physiologic changes and demands placed on the body during exercise.
Substrates The material or substance on which an enzyme acts.
Carbohydrates Organic compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, which include starches, cellulose, and sugars, and are an important source of energy. All carbohydrates are eventually broken down in the body to glucose, a simple sugar.
Glucose A simple sugar manufactured by the body from carbohydrates, fats, and to a lesser extent protein, which serves as the body's main source of fuel.
Glycogen The complex carbohydrate molecule used to store carbs in the liver and muscle cells. When carbohydrate energy is needed, glycogen is converted into glucose for use by the muscle cells.
Fat One of the three main classes of foods and a source of energy in the body. Fats help the body use some vitamins and keep the skin healthy. They also serve as energy stores for the body. In food, there are two types of fats, saturated and unsaturated.
Triglycerides The chemical or substrate form in which most fat exists in food as well as in the body.
Protein Amino acids linked by peptide bonds, which consist of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and usually sulfur, and that have several essential biologic compounds.
Gluconeogenesis The formation of glucose from noncarbohydrate sources, such as amino acids.
Adenosine Triphosphate Energy storage and transfer unit within the cells of the body.
Adenosine Diphosphate A high-energy compound occurring in all cells from which adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is formed.
B-Oxidation The breakdown of triglycerides into smaller subunits called free fatty acids (FFAs) to convert FFAs into acyl-CoA molecules, which then are available to enter the Krebs cycle and ultimately lead to the production of additional ATP.
Excess Postexercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) The state in which the body's metabolism is elevated after exercise.
