Diabetes mellitus‚ or simply diabetes‚ is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar‚ either because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin‚ or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced.[2] This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination)‚ polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger). There are three main types of diabetes mellitus (DM). Type 1 DM results from the body’s failure to produce

Kelsey Choquette Derek Thiess Research Essay 30 November 2010 High Fructose Corn Syrup and Obesity High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is one of the major caloric sweeteners used in the food industry today. It is a sweetener that contain fructose and all provide 4 kcal per gram (Suzan‚ 620). It is relatively inexpensive to produce‚ so the food industry sees HFCS an easy way to make products less expensive. HFCS is a kind of corn sugar; it is nearly identical to sucrose (table sugar)‚ which

Cellular Processes Lab # 9 Biology 2010 By‚ Jani Hagen U#74644799 November 21‚ 2014 Abstract All cells undergo cellular resperation to produce energy. Common sources of energy include glucose‚ fructose‚ sucrose‚ startch‚ and fatty acids. The process varies depending on the fuel the cell is using. This report will show these differences by exopsing the yeast to several different conditions. The rate of the fermentation can be tracked by noting the carbon dioxide production at steady intervals

These biological macromolecules vary greatly in size - from several hundred to several hundred million molecular weight units - and are made up of monomer units. There are four major classes of biological macromolecules: proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ lipids
