Metabolism involves • catabolic reactions
that break down large, complex molecules to provide energy and smaller molecules.
• anabolic reactions that use ATP energy to build larger molecules.

Stages of Metabolism
Catabolic reactions are organized as • Stage 1: Digestion and hydrolysis break down
large molecules to smaller ones that enter the bloodstream.
• Stage 2: Degradation break down molecules to two- and three-carbon compounds. • Stage 3: Oxidation of small molecules in the citric
acid cycle and electron transport provides ATP energy.

ATP and Energy
In the body, energy is stored as adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
8
Hydrolysis of ATP
• The hydrolysis of ATP to ADP releases 7.3 kcal. ATP ADP + Pi + 7.3 kcal

ATP and Muscle Contraction
Muscle fibers • contain the protein fibers actin and myosin.
• contract (slide closer together) when a nerve impulse increases Ca2+.
• obtain the energy for contraction from the hydrolysis of ATP.
• return to the relaxed position as Ca2+ and ATP decrease.

Ketone Bodies
If carbohydrates are not available, • body fat breaks
down to meet energy needs.
• compounds called ketone bodies form.
Ketone bodies
122
Formation of Ketone Bodies
Ketone bodies form • if large amounts of acetyl CoA accumulate. • when two acetyl CoA molecules form acetoacetyl CoA. • when acetoacetyl CoA hydrolyzes to acetoacetate. • when acetoacetate reduces to β-hydroxybutyrate or
loses CO2 to form acetone, both ketone bodies.
123
Ketosis
Ketosis occurs • in diabetes, diets high in
fat, and starvation.
• as ketone bodies accumulate.
• when acidic ketone bodies lower blood pH below 7.4 (acidosis).

Ketone Bodies and Diabetes
In diabetes • insulin does not
function properly. • glucose levels are
insufficient for energy needs.
• fats are broken down to acetyl CoA.
• ketone bodies form.

Proteins in the Body
Proteins provide • amino acids for
protein synthesis. • nitrogen atoms for
nitrogen-containing compounds.
• energy when carbohydrate and lipid resources are not available.

Transamination
In transamination • amino acids are degraded in the liver. • an amino group is transferred from an amino acid to
an α-keto acid, usually α-ketoglutarate. • a new amino acid, usually glutamate, is formed. • a new α-keto acid is formed.

Synthesis of Amino Acids
In humans, transamination of compounds from glycolysis or the citric acid cycle produces nonessential amino acids.

Oxidative Deamination
Oxidative deamination • removes the amino group as an ammonium ion from
glutamate. • provides α-ketoglutarate for transamination. NH3

Urea Cycle
The urea cycle • removes toxic ammonium ions from amino acid
degradation. • converts ammonium ions to urea in the liver. O + || 2NH4 + CO2 H2N—C—NH2 Ammonium ion Urea • produces 25-30 g of urea daily for urine formation
in the kidneys.

Carbon Atoms from Amino Acids
Carbon skeletons of amino acids • form intermediates of the citric acid cycle. • produce energy.
Three-carbon skeletons: alanine, serine, and cysteine pyruvate Four-carbon skeletons: aspartate, asparagine oxaloacetate Five-carbon skeletons: glutamine, glutamate, proline, arginine, histidine glutamate

Overview of Metabolism
In metabolism • catabolic pathways degrade large molecules. • anabolic pathway synthesize molecules. • branch points determine which compounds are
degraded to acetyl CoA to meet energy needs or converted to glycogen for storage.
• excess glucose is converted to body fat. • fatty acids and amino acids are used for energy when
carbohydrates are not available. • some amino acids are produced by transamination.
