ILOs

• Describe the main processes in the body which require energy in the form of ATP, the basic structure of ATP and how it is formed and broken down.
• Define the terms endergonic, exergonic and free energy and predict the direction in which a reaction will proceed from the free energy value.
• Describe the locations in the cell of glycolysis, fatty acid oxidation, TCA (Krebs) cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
• Give an overview of the process of glycolysis and the TCA cycle in terms of its output (NADH, FADH2 and ATP/GTP), and show an understanding of their regulation.
• Describe the process of oxidative phosphorylation
• Briefly outline fatty acid oxidation and protein degradation
• List factors which influence energy expenditure at rest and during activity, and explain how body mass index (BMI) can be used to monitor this energy balance
