9. Metabolic reactions in animals
By Brittany G & Joshua C

Animal Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) (proteins)

C72 H112 N18 O22 S + 77 O2 → 63 CO2 + 38 H2O + SO3 + 9 CO(NH2)2
Decomposition, Combustion

The reason that this is important is the process understanding protein metabolism is that the body can hold/blend the 3 macro-nutrients + based on the mitochondrial(Skeletal muscle) density a ratio can be established whcih determines how much fuel is utilized which pakcets for work accomplished by the muscles.

The enzymes to make metabolism are from each different types of enzymes. The compounds on which the enzyme acts are called substrates.

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 --> 6 CO2﻿ + 6 2OH + Energy
Metabolic reactions in animals happen when they eat food, and store fat and their protiens react and create energy! This reaction of protein takes place in the muscules an digestive system during sleep. Humming birds have the highest metabolism and the fastest hearts, they eat many times a day to support their high metabolisms.

Cold blooded animals have the lowest metabolisms, and need tomove less except in the sun to warm their blood.

eating so its digeastive system can later turn it into fat, and protein to help the animal survive.
