      TERMS TO KNOW
      •Energy – ability to do work
      •Bioenergetics – Conversion of food (PRO, CHO, Fat) molecules into biologically useable forms of energy.
      •Catabolism – Breakdown of large molecules into smaller molecules; associated with the release of energy
      •Anabolism – Synthesis of larger molecules from smaller molecules using the energy released from catobolismExergonic reactions – energy-releasing reactions; generally catabolic reactions
      •Endergonic reactions – energy-consuming reactions; generally anabolic reactions
      •Metabolism – total of all the catabolic/exergonic and anabolic/endergonic reactions in a biological system
      •RMR & BMR?
      •Hydrolysis – Breaking of a covalent bond by water
