4. transfer of heat via infrared waves
6. gaining of an electron
8. sum of all catabolic and anabolic reactions that take place in the body
10. process that converts high-energy NADH and FADH2 into ATP
13. breakdown of triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids
15. breakdown of fatty acids into smaller chain fatty acids and acetyl CoA
17. loss of an electron
18. anion released into the small intestine to neutralize the pH of the food from the stomach
21. oxygen, the recipient of the free hydrogen at the end of the electron transport chain
23. form that glucose assumes when it is stored
25. reactions that break down larger molecules into their constituent parts
26. transfer of heat through physical contact
27. amount of energy expended by the body at rest
29. lipids, or fats, consisting of three fatty acid chains attached to a glycerol backbone
30. synthesis of lipids that occurs in the liver or adipose tissues
31. organic compounds required by the body to perform biochemical reactions like metabolism and bone, cell, and tissue growth
32. also called the Krebs cycle or the citric acid cycle; converts pyruvate into CO2 and high-energy FADH2, NADH, and ATP molecules
33. series of metabolic reactions that breaks down glucose into pyruvate and produces ATP
34. transfer of heat between the skin and air or water

1. also called the citric acid cycle or the tricarboxylic acid cycle, converts pyruvate into CO2 and high-energy FADH2, NADH, and ATP molecules
2. also called the Krebs cycle or the tricarboxylic acid cycle; converts pyruvate into CO2 and high-energy FADH2, NADH, and ATP molecules
3. relative amount of body weight compared to the overall height; a BMI ranging from 18–24.9 is considered normal weight, 25–29.9 is considered overweight, and greater than 30 is considered obese
5. fatty acid oxidation
7. lipid consisting of a single fatty acid chain attached to a glycerol backbone
9. protein pore complex that creates ATP
11. (also, redox reaction) pair of reactions in which an electron is passed from one molecule to another, oxidizing one and reducing the other
12. reactions that build smaller molecules into larger molecules
14. amount of energy consumed minus the amount of energy expended by the body
16. transfer of heat that occurs when water changes from a liquid to a gas
19. smallest, monomeric sugar molecule
20. process that converts potentially toxic nitrogen waste into urea that can be eliminated through the kidneys
22. amount of heat it takes to raise 1 kg (1000 g) of water by 1 °C
24. production of ATP from glucose oxidation via glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation
28. inorganic compounds required by the body to ensure proper function of the body
