  • Catabolic and Anabolic

    Anabolic Build up Catabolic Digest (ABCD)
  • Anaerobic metabolism

    Doesn’t use oxygen and is not very efficient. Occurs in cytosol and results in pyruvate fermented into lactic acid and a small amount of ATP
  • Aerobic metabolism

    Involves oxygen and is efficient. Occurs in mitochondria and puts pyruvate through the citric acid cycle, resulting in a lot of ATP
  • Metabolic Rate

    How fast glucose molecules are being converted into ATP. Measured by how much oxygen consumed in a given amount of time
  • Metabolic Rate equation

    Glucose + oxygen -> water + carbon dioxide + ATP
  • Anaerobic and Aerobic

    Anaerobic is used for a quick shift from resting to active and aerobic is used for an extended period of activity
  • Recovery metabolism
    Elevated rate of oxygen consumption following activity
  • Essential Amino Acids

    Amino acids that an organism cannot synthesize from others that they consume
  • Temporomandibular joint
    Joint that connects the lower jaw to the skull and allows food to be broken down before swallowed
  • Incisors
    Specialized for biting
  • Canines
    Specialized for piercing prey
  • Premolars and molars
    Adapted for crushing and shredding tougher food
