Metabolisms: Chemical Reactions Of Living Cells And Organisms
Metabolisms are all the chemical reactions that the living cells and organisms use to maintain life. It also divides into two categories: Catabolism – that breakdown the molecules to obtain energy and Anabolism – that creates all of the compounds that the cells need to function. Nutrition is an important part of the availability of nutrients that utilized in the reactions that either synthesize or catabolize the material that is employed by the cells to produce power.
This power is a requirement by the organism to synthesize proteins and nucleic acids (DNA, RNA), etc. Aliments provide a variety of vitamins and minerals also to proteins and carbohydrates that are important in the building, maintenance, and replacement of the body tissues, …show more content…
The proteins in foods are the first to be brokendown into amino acids, so they could be absorbed into the bloodstream and finally be used to form new proteins in the body of the cells. In the presence of an excess of amino acids in the body; the liver enzymes may convert these into keto acids and urea. Growth hormone, insulin, and androgens stimulate the formation of proteins and the adrenal cortical tends to bring about the breakdown of proteins in the body. Protein is an essential constituent of organs and the soft structures of the body. Some of the functions of the proteins are being enzymes, hormones, transport, protection, coordination, storage and structural constituents. Diseases that can affect the metabolism of proteins include homocystinuria, liver disease, maple sugar urine disease and …show more content…
Fats are put away in our fat cells as triglycerides, much the same as how glucose is put away as glycogen in our liver and muscles. Triglycerides are made of three immersed unsaturated fats. Keep in mind an unsaturated fat is only a long chain of carbons with hydrogens joined. Unsaturated fats are dependably a considerable number of carbon iotas long. They can be 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 24 carbons etc. You will never discover an FA that is an odd number of carbons. What happens is that this unsaturated fat is separated two carbons at once which transforms it into the two-carbon acetyl sugar. This is known as a beta oxidation response. At that point, they are separated in the Krebs cycle as though they were
