About this document
Energy Metabolism Overview by aids is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Energy metabolism encompasses the cellular and organismal processes that liberate energy from nutrients and store excess energy. There are two main types of metabolic reactions: catabolism, which breaks down molecules to release energy, and anabolism, which uses that energy to construct complex molecules. Indirect calorimetry estimates energy metabolism by measuring oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production to calculate the respiratory exchange ratio and metabolic rate.
