...M1: the role of energy in the body ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is a source of energy for the body and the only form of usable energy in there body. ATP is what converts the energy found in food to energy our cells can use to allow them to function properly. The chemical energy of ATP can be transferred to other cellular materials or be converted to mechanical energy. The energy needed by the body is stored in the high energy bond, to release this energy and allow muscular movement, an enzyme called ATPase breaks this bond, and these leave two molecules of phosphate attached to the adenosine (adenosine diphosphate) and a free phosphate molecule. The food we eat, in the form of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, is used as fuel for reactions in the body that make us 'alive'. To utilise these fuels for muscle action, the body converts them to a common 'energy currency', called adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP), once converted to ATP, it can lose its chemical energy and it becomes ADP. We all need energy to move our body. In order to get energy, we need to eat right, then put ourselves to motivate for every day. If we have no energy in our body, we are dead by now. Glucose is a simple sugar that provides the body with its primary source of energy. This type of sugar comes from digesting carbohydrates into a chemical that the body can easily convert to energy. The carbohydrate is broken down into glucose by enzymes in precise stages that allow energy to be released so that it can...

...Most people drink beverages like Red Bull and Monster just to get through the day. But is it really healthy for your body. Studies have shown that excessive consumption of those types of drink can affect your body in many ways. Some of the affects are motor skills, reaction time, reason and logic. A way it can affect your motor skills is “Caffeine acts by turning off receptors for adenosine in the central nervous system. Adenosine is a neurotransmitter that helps us to get to sleep and keeps us from being overly alert.” Which can lead twitching or chills in your body that you can’t control. Then you start to feel like the only way to calm yourself down is more energy drinks, which is not the case at, it means you need stop or at least...

The four major functions are to transport nutrients, gases and waste products around the body, to protect the body from infection and blood loss, to help the body maintain a constant body temperature and to help the body maintain fluid balance. It has many different structures within the cardiovascular system too. The main structures include the heart, the blood vessels and the blood. The heart is the key organ in the circulatory system. Its main function is to propel blood throughout the body. It usually beats from 60 to 100 times per minute but it can go much faster during exercise. There are three types of blood vessels which are the arteries, veins, and capillaries. Energy metabolism is generally defined as the entirety of an organism's chemical processes. These chemical processes are categorized as being either catabolic or anabolic. Energy is needed in order for our body to be able to function. Energy helps break down molecules and to build new molecules. The...

...P4- Explain the physiology of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body In this assignment I will be explain the physiology of two named body system in relation to energy metabolism in the body. The system that I have chosen is the respiratory system and the digestive system. The respiratory system is where the exchange of gases in the body this is where the oxygen enters into the blood. The lung is the main organ which the lungs intakes oxygen into the body and the carbon dioxide is exported out. The respiration system is made up of many organs which help us to breathe properly. The digestive system is where the organs inside the body break down the food and convert it to energy and nutrients that are needed in the body. The stomach is a tube shaped which has all the food and liquid that we have ate and it makes around the body and it is a mainly long twisted tube that starts from the mouth and comes all the way down to the anus and into few organs such as the pancreas and the liver which stores any chemicals accessible. The metabolic rate...

...M1) Discuss the role of energy in the body In this assignment, I will be discussing the role of energy in the body. Energy forms, energy metabolism and any reactions will be discussed during the course of this assignment. Energy is used up at all times for body processes and is supplied from an individual’s diet, in the form of calories. Within the human body, energy is needed for a variety of reasons. Firstly, without energy humans will be unable to function correctly, preventing them from doing absolutely anything. For example, humans will not be able to communicate as they will have no energy to talk. Human muscles will not be able to function as they are energy-less, preventing them from performing simple everyday tasks (Moonie, 2010). Energy is needed to extract oxygen from certain areas within the human body and release it into the bloodstream. Furthermore, the human body needs energy to circulate blood and tissue fluid around the body. Energy is necessary is for breathing, taking in oxygen and making new tissues for growth and repair. Energy also transmits nerve impulses so that the human body is able to respond to changes within the environment in order to build different complex molecules, such as enzymes and hormones. This is to form the simple molecules produced after the digestion of food (Aldworth, 2010). Without energy stored in human bodies, humans would not be able to function properly. Energy comes from: fats, carbohydrates and proteins in the food that individuals...

...of energy in the body: Energy can be found in different forms, ways that energy can be found in is through light, kinetic, thermal (heat), sound and chemical. These types of energy are categorised into two which are potential and kinetic energy. Chemical energy is energy that is stored in between the bonds of the atoms and the molecules. They are in between the molecules. Energy comes into our body from all the fats, carbohydrates and proteins that we all consume in through our body. Also for those who drink alcohol on a daily basis, they gain their energy through the alcohol. This type of energy is called chemical energy, which we consume straight into our bodies through the food and drink we have Normal human’s body temperature is 37 degrees Celsius and normal room temperature is 20 degrees Celsius. Humans have internal energy which is thermal (heat) energy which we find in substances. When these substances move, there is vibration and movements between the atoms and molecules that lie within these substances. From the food we eat, and the energy that we get from our food, releases heat which is how we are kept warm. Majority of our heat is stored in our liver. Electrical energy comes through the movement of different electrical charges. Energy is also needs for sound. Sound is the movement by which energy travels through the longitudinal waves. Sound can only be produced if there is energy present...

...Physiology for Health and Social Care Task 4- P4 Energy within the human body can be associated with the function of different body systems, this comprises of respiratory, cardiovascular and the digestive system. The different body systems that I will be talking about are the cardiovascular and respiratory system. There are many different phrases and words used when describing and explaining how the body systems are linked to energy metabolism. The meaning of metabolism is the chemical process or reaction that takes place within a living organism in order to maintain life. Some of the chemical reactions require breaking down molecules while at the same time releasing energy- this is the definition of the catabolic reactions. Instead of breaking down molecules the process of anabolism is to build intricate molecules from simple substances by using energy which again acts as a catalyst. There are many different activities involved in supplying energy to the variety of cells in the body. The first system that I will be talking about is the respiratory system. The main job that constantly takes place is the system refreshing the lung oxygen and the disposal of waste substances and products, this often includes water and carbon dioxide. The removal of these waste products and the refreshing of the lungs happen during the process of what we call breathing. The oxygen that has been dissolved is transported to cells around the body; the transportation method is through the slim alveolar...

...P4- Explain the Physiology of Two Named Body Systems in Relation to Energy Metabolism in the Body M1-Discuss the Roles of Energy in the Body In this assignment I will be explaining the physiology of the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system. Whilst explaining the two body systems I will be explaining energy production, process of cellular respiration, the role of enzymes within these body systems, the way that these systems absorb food and the products of digestion. The Cardiovascular System The heart pumps the blood around the body through the blood vessels which is made of mostly veins and capillaries. The blood carries the dissolved oxygen around the bodily cells, whilst carrying the dissolved oxygen the blood removes the waste and the other products from respiration. The body’s blood pressure has to be maintained. The blood distributes heat around the body along with hormones, nutrients, salts, enzymes and urea. The cardiovascular system transports simple molecules and materials to the liver and the body cells via the blood stream. This happens through the hearts pumping actions. The Respiratory System The respiratory system always refreshes oxygen within the lungs, it gets rid of the waste products like carbon dioxide and water, and this is done throughout actions like breathing. The dissolved oxygen passes through the alveolar walls into the bloodstream; this is then transported into the cells. Body cells are persistently being made into raw...

...Energy Homeostasis and Obesity Terrencia Rucker Saint Leo University Fried this, sugar that! We all have our times wear we indulge in a bit of fried or sugary foods with no exercise plan after consuming. Obesity in America has gotten so out of control over the past decades. Overtime our society is becoming less active outside. We are becoming accustomed in staying in the house. Our society that we live in today is one where obesity is killing more and more people than smoking alone. Americans are always in a rush now days that we do not think about how these fatty foods can hinder our body later on in life. We always want something that is not time consuming so we go to the restaurant like four out seven times a week instead of staying home and prepare our food with more nutrient. If one can understand his or her energy balance; it will allow him or her to develop strategies in reducing risk of becoming obese. Obesity is the condition of being very fat or overweight; corpulence (dictionary.com). Obesity is measure in many ways, but the most used measure system is by calculating the Body Mass Index or (BMI). BMI is a metric used to estimate the amount of body fat one has.BMI is calculated by your weight and heights squared then multiply by 703. The BMI percents are broken into four categories; < 18.5 is consider as underweight, normal weight is between 18.5-24.9, overweight 25-29.9; and obesity is 30 or higher (National Institutes of Health 2014). Obesity can best...

...Energy, Work and power of the body All body activities including thinking, doing work, or keeping the body temp. constant involve energy changes, for example under resting(Basal)conditions the skeletal muscles and the heart using 25% of the body's energy ,another 19%is being used by the brain,10%is being used by the kidneys, and 27% is being used by the liver and the spleen. A small percent of about 5% of food energy being excreted in feces and urine. Extra food energy will be stored mainly as fat. External heat energy from environment can help maintain the body temp. , but it has no use in body function. Conservation of energy Change in the stored energy (i.e. food energy, body fat and the body heat) =Heat lost from the body + Work done Assumes that no food or drink is taken and no feces or urine is excreted during the interval of time considered. ●This is similar to the first law of thermodynamic:- ∆Q= ∆u + ∆w -1- ●Where ∆Q is the change of quantity of heat of the system. ● ● ∆u is the change in the internal or stored energy. ∆w is the work done. This can be written as ∆u= ∆Q - ∆w A body doing no work (∆w=0) and at constant temp. continues to lose heat to its surroundings, and ∆Q is negative. Therefore, ∆u is also negative, indicating a decrease in stored energy. The rate of change of their variables is just taken per unit time ( by dividing on ∆t) . ∆u / ∆t = ∆Q/∆t - ∆w/∆t The body's basic source of energy is the food energy; it must be chemically changed...

...report will explain the role of energy in the body. It will include the different forms of energy in the body, the two laws of energy, anabolism and catabolism and the role of the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system in energy metabolism. Energy is defined in the capacity to do work. Energy is needed for all of the functions of the body, we need it for all the different activities that we do, and for chemical reactions within our body. Some of the things that energy is essential for are; tissue growth; tissue repair; chemical reactions inside the cells, storing nutrients and digestion. The forms of energy comes in three; kinetic energy, chemical energy and potential energy. Chemical energy is the main source of energy for our body. Chemical energy is the bond which unites atoms or molecules with each other. When a new bond is produced between two atoms, energy is needed for its formation and this is mainly in the form of heat but can be light or electrical energy. When a bond is broken and the atoms are free, the energy in the bond is released. Potential energy is stored energy, which is then converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. There are a few types of different energy and these are: chemical, heat, sound, light, electrical and mechanical. There are ‘two laws’ of energy, the first law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, this is the conservation law. The second law states that energy can be transformed from one form...
