Monomers are small‚ simple molecules that when put together create carbon compounds‚ and polymers are molecules that consist of repeated units. b. Functional groups are made of clusters of atoms‚ while macromolecules are large polymers. c. A monosaccharide is a simple sugar‚ but a disaccharide is known as a double sugar‚ or two monosaccharaides. d. Long chains of amino acids are called polypeptides‚ and proteins are composed

There are four major types of macromolecules-proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ nucleic acids‚ and lipids. This process plays important roles in the life of a cell. (Macromolecules‚ 2002). The macromolecules that was present in the packaged food product Lipids which are fats. According to (Alters & Alters

Small Animal Metabolism Materials: 3 Gerbils (8‚ 24‚ 17) Cage Circular Tube 2 Plugs Brown Paper Towel Weight and Balance Soap Solution Drierite Glass Pipette Metal Poker Procedure Our hypothesis for the Small Animal Metabolism lab was that the gerbil will consume oxygen at a greater rate than a mouse because the gerbil is larger in size. To begin this experiment we obtained a gerbil from a specific cage and weighed it on a balance. After we had weighed the gerbil‚ we inserted

EXPERIMENT 13 DIGESTION IN THE SMALL INTESTINES ------------------------------------------------- ABSTRACT The small intestine serves as the site of major digestive and absorptive processes. In this experiment‚ the action of pancreatic enzymes on representative samples of each food group under different conditions‚ such as increased/decreased pH and presence of other substances‚ were observed. A pancreatin solution was first prepared from a hog pancreas and was completely neutralized using

Energy in context Introduction Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into smaller molecules so they can pass though the intestinal wall into the bloodstream and be transported throughout the body. There are seven different food groups in a balanced diet which should include Carbohydrate‚ fat‚ water‚ protein‚ fibre‚ vitamins and minerals. Although most foods contain these in some shape or form the foods that contain most of one type fall into that category‚ a chicken

Instructor: Course: Date: Animal System Introduction This essay focuses on the digestive system of ruminant animals like cattle‚ sheep‚ and goats. Ruminant animals are hoofed mammals that have a digestive system which enables them to utilize energy from fibrous plant material better than other herbivores. Unlike monogastric animals such as pigs and poultry‚ the digestive system or ruminants is designed to ferment feedstuffs and provide precursors for energy for the animal to use. Ruminant Digestive

AIU Energy‚ Metabolism‚ and Cells- Unit 2-IP April 1‚ 2012 Professor Kelli Roberts Energy‚ Metabolism‚ and Cells Photosynthesis is the process that pretty much every organism on earth needs‚ because of the nutrients produced which is needed in order to live. Plants capture the energy from the sun and converts it into food that is needed by all plants and animals (including us as humans). In this process the chemical reaction which is known as photosynthesis‚ it takes the sun’s energy and

of two named body systems in relation to energy metabolism in the body In this task I am going to discuss the three systems involved in energy metabolism in the body. The chemical equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + O2 = E + CO2 + H2O OR Glucose + Oxygen = Energy + Carbon Dioxide + Water In order to release energy we need glucose which is a simple carbohydrate that is produced after digestion of food and we also need oxygen. Once the food has been broken down it then needs to be

Unit 5 Outcome 2 – Energy Metabolism Booklet The Respiratory System The respiratory system consists of the nose‚ mouth‚ pharynx‚ larynx‚ trachea‚ bronchi and lungs. These provide a passageway to allow air in and out of the body. Every cell in the body requires oxygen to survive. The primary function of the respiratory system is the exchange of gases. The respiratory system allows oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange‚ this is necessary to sustain life. During the process of breathing air is inhaled

are formerly known as macromolecules. Macromolecules are large molecules that are formed from smaller molecules called monomers (Ellisman‚ 2014). They are formed by dehydration reactions‚ in which a water molecule is removed during the formation of bonds (Wayne Huang‚ 2015). Biological molecules are organic‚ indicating that they contain carbon and hydrogen atoms (Gair‚ 2013). The four classes of biological molecules are carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ nucleic acids and
