molecules are Carbohydrates‚ Lipids‚ Proteins‚ nucleic acids. Carb is an abbreviation for carbohydrates. The body breaks down carbohydrates into simple sugars. Carbohydrates are easily used for energy by the body. The nervous system and brain need the glucose formed from breakdown of carbohydrates. If carbohydrates are not available‚ the body burns lipids/fats for energy. Lipids is the scientific name for fats. Lipids act as chemical messengers in the body. Lipids are the last to be digested and

The data from this experiment demonstrates that the almond will produce a higher increase in the temperature of the water‚ when compared to the marshmallow. As shown in the observation chart‚ the change in temperatures for each almond trial is significantly higher than the marshmallow trials. It is also worth noting that the mass of the marshmallows are similar to that of the almonds. In fact‚ in trials one and three‚ the marshmallow has a larger mass than the almond. This information is significant

fewer refined and processed carbohydrates that take away beneficial fiber. Examples: white bread and white rice. How does our body turn carbohydrates into energy? When carbohydrates are digested and broken down by the body they are converted into glucose‚ which is then used or stored as energy What is the function of carbohydrates? Carbohydrates provide the body with

Our food has flavor and aromatic substances‚ volatile (substances that kill bacteria)‚ it can also be present and dangerous to human chemicals. Today‚ we have to learn basic laboratory techniques‚ such as handling the reagents‚ using Gilson pipettes etc‚ study and try to identify chemical tests for food compounds.

soft. 6. Soap is formed by molecules with a "head" which likes water (hydrophilic) and a long chain which hates it (hydrophobic). 7. Lactose is the main complex sugar found in the milk. It’s a pretty big compound formed by two smaller components: glucose and galactose. Such a big compound cannot get through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream‚ so we need "something" to break it into smaller pieces. This "something" is an enzime named lactase. The more milk and milk products we consume‚ the

hypoglycemia‚ increases insulin levels as a response to the consumption of an excess amount of carbohydrates. The main difference between reactive hypoglycemia and hypoglycemia is that hypoglycemia lowers the subjects’ blood sugar if their blood glucose is not monitored but can easily be brought back up by the consumption of food. However‚ the symptoms of reactive hypoglycemia are quite opposite. When consuming food‚ the subject’s blood sugar goes below the position of equilibrium and then followed

beings‚ without them we couldn’t survive. They act as catalysts that break down substances such as starch and convert them into different products such glucose‚ needed for cells to do their job within the body. Amylase in an enzyme that breaks down starch by breaking the long chains of polysaccharides into disaccharides‚ which is converted into glucose. In the human body there are several main sources of carbohydrates. Which are sucrose ( cane sugar) lactose (a disaccharide in milk) starches (present

Transpiration: Transpiration is the loss of water vapour from the exposed parts of a plant; by evaporation from the leaves‚ stems and branches and by the escape of water vapour through the stomata. Respiration: Respiration is the breakdown of glucose molecules to synthesize(produce) energy.there are two types of respiration: aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. Consider the food chain below: Algae →larvae →crabs →fish (a)Name The producer; algae One carnivore; fish One

1. Describe what is measured as an indicator of sucrase activity and why this is an indicator of sucrase activity? The product used is‚ glucose and fructose‚ this is an indicator of sucrase activity because the amount of product produced is a result of the experiment. 2. Explain why denatured sucrase was used as a control? Denatured sucrase was used as a control because it increases the activity. 3. Alkaline DNS denatures sucrase. Explain why it is important to denature the enzyme? Denaturing the
