In Summary
Metabolism is defined as the total of all cellular reactions
that occur in the body; this includes both the synthesis of
molecules and the breakdown of molecules.
Cell structure includes the following three major parts: (1)
cell membrane, (2) nucleus, and (3) cytoplasm (called
sarcoplasm in muscle).
The cell membrane provides a protective barrier between
the interior of the cell and the extracellular fluid.
Genes (located within the nucleus) regulate protein
synthesis within the cell.
The cytoplasm is the fluid portion of the cell and contains
numerous organelles

In Summary
The body uses carbohydrate, fat, and protein nutrients
consumed daily to provide the necessary energy to
maintain cellular activities both at rest and during
exercise. During exercise, the primary nutrients used for
energy are fats and carbohydrates, with protein
contributing a relatively small amount of the total energy
used.
Glucose is stored in animal cells as a polysaccharide
called glycogen.
Fatty acids are the primary form of fat used as an energy
source in cells. Fatty acids are stored as triglycerides in
muscle and fat cells.

However, once produced in the body, lactic acid is
rapidly converted to its conjugate base, lactate.
Muscle cells can produce ATP by any one or a
combination of three metabolic pathways: (1) ATP-PC
system, (2) glycolysis, (3) oxidative ATP production.

metabolic pathways that are capable of producing ATP

Oxidative phosphorylation or aerobic ATP production
occurs in the mitochondria as a result of a complex
interaction between the Krebs cycle and the electron
transport chain. The primary role of the Krebs cycle is to
complete the oxidation of substrates and form NADH and
FADH to enter the electron transport chain. The end
result of the electron transport chain is the formation of
ATP and water. Water is formed by oxygen-accepting
electrons; hence, the reason we breathe oxygen is to
use it as the final acceptor of electrons in aerobic
metabolism.

Metabolism is regulated by enzymatic activity. An enzyme
that regulates a metabolic pathway is termed a “rate-
limiting” enzyme.
The rate-limiting enzyme for glycolysis is
phosphofructokinase, while the rate-limiting enzymes for
the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain are isocitrate
dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase, respectively.
In general, cellular levels of ATP and ADP+P
i regulate the
rate of metabolic pathways involved in the production of
ATP. High levels of ATP inhibit further ATP production,
while low levels of ATP and high levels of ADP+P
i
stimulate ATP production. Evidence also exists that
calcium may stimulate aerobic energy metabolism.
