Metabolism — Converting Food Into Energy As covered in the Tenth Article in this series, the body needs fuel and oxygen to operate, and the process by which the body changes the food you eat into energy and internal building material is called metabolism (from the Greek metabole “change”). This conversion is achieved by a complex biochemical process, where calories from carbohydrates, fats or proteins are chemically combined with oxygen to form cellular building blocks while also releasing the energy your body needs to function. Let’s take a closer look. Catabolism and Anabolism Our food consists of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, usually in the form of large, complex molecules. The body cannot build muscle, nor can it maintain organs, with the proteins it consumes, but must first break them down into amino acids, which are then combined to form proteins the body can use as building blocks. Exergonic Reactions An exergonic chemical reaction is one where large molecules (such as food) are broken down into smaller molecules with the release of energy. The word comes from the Greek, ex - out, ergon work, meaning energy (work) is released; energy, of course, is most commonly measured by the work it can perform. This process is also known as Catabolism (Greek, cata - down, ballein to throw). Endergonic Reactions An endergonic reaction is one where new proteins are built from amino acids, and is a process that requires energy.
The word, again, is from the Greek, en - in, ergon work, meaning it takes in—uses—energy.

5 Ways To Use Basic Performance Engineering For Superior Employee Performance5 Ways To Use Basic Performance Engineering For Superior Employee PerformanceAuthor: Leon NooneTraining is no guarantee of improved performance. When we know our employees are well trained, more training is wasteful and counterproductive. If you can't quite seem to work out how to get constant improved performance from your people, these ideas may help.If they can do it with a gun at their head , they don't need training.Harsh? Inhumane? Brutal? Maybe all of these things. But if that's your opinion, think about this: do you test your people before subjecting them to training? Are you absolutely certain that they don't know and can't do what they're going to "learn" in the training? Have you considered how you could help them improve performance without training?To put it bluntly, training will improve performance only with people who don't know and can't do. The problem with people who aren't performing is often that they "won't do" rather than "can't do". Training won't fix "won't do" problems. |
Blow his mind not just his ...k-Learn to give the perfect blow jobBlow his mind not just his ...k-Learn to give the perfect blow jobAuthor: michaelBest position for his enjoyment Practically every animal species utilizes the rear-entry “doggy-style” position, so it is a natural one for humans to enjoy, as well. While you won’t have face-to-face contact, there are many benefits. It’s great for guys because it gives them full control. This is one of the best positions for hitting her G-spot and allows him to fondle your breasts, stomach, clitoris, back, neck and other sensual spots. The main benefit for your man is that he’ll be able to get incredibly deep penetration (above-average guys need to be careful as deep thrusts might hit her cervix, which can be quite painful). Find your man’s hidden zones Yes, men love to be touched sensually too. |
