    Quiz Chapter 13: How Cells Obtain Energy From Food . The energy released by oxidizing glucose is saved in high energy bonds of: ATP and other activated carrier molecues 2. Sugars derived from food are broken down by: glycolysis‚ the citric acid cycle‚ and oxidative phosphorylation 3. Catabolism: a breakdown process in which enzymes degrade complex molecules into simpler ones 4. The digestion of polymeric food molecules into monomeric subunits occurs in: extracellular space (i.g. lumen of

    Biochemistry Task 5 Shannon Alford Lipid Storage Molecule Conversion to ATP Lipids (also known as fats) are nonpolar‚ insoluble molecules gained within the body trough digestion of food. Triglycerides‚ a type of lipid that serve as storage units for energy have 3 fatty acid chain tails made up of carboxylic acid and a fatty carbon chain attached to a glycerol backbone. These molecules can be saturated or unsaturated contingent on the bond types and hydrogen number in the molecule. Anytime a fatty

    Galactosemia Galactosemia is an inborn error of metabolism. Because of energy barriers‚ essentially none of the chemical reactions that take place in living things could occur at any measurable rate without the presence of a catalyst. Most catalysts in living things are enzymes that depend on their structure to be able to function. Their structure is determined by their coding on DNA. Inborn errors of metabolism‚ like the one seen in galactosemia‚ are caused by defective genes. Galactosemia

    Presence of Lipids Aim: To establish which food substances contain lipids. Hypothesis: 1. All diary products will contain lipids. 2. All animal tissue will contain lipids. 3. All plant storage organ products‚ i.e. seeds‚ will contain lipids. Introduction: Lipids are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Ethanol is an example of an organic polar solvent which will dissolve lipids to a limited extent. However ethanol is miscible with water so when a solution of lipid and ethanol

    Protein SCI/241 Protein A protein are organic compounds that made up of amino acids and are the building blocks of the cells in the body. Every cell in the body requires proteins to grow and repair themselves so these proteins are necessary for a healthy body and survival. Having so much protein can hurt your body so when you consume so much can get you sick and the right size of protein can keep you from getting sick. They’re five types of protein in everything that we eat. The largest class

    immunities‚ maintaining electrolyte levels‚ water and nutrient balance‚ and metabolism. Metabolism involves catabolism‚ which is a process where complex molecules are broken into simple substances‚ and anabolism which is the process when simple substances are made into complex molecules by the use of enzymes. During the catabolism process the energy is released and is used to make ATP. The most important hormone in maintaining metabolism is thyroxine which is produced by the thyroid gland. The production

    ( Check Nutrition Unit 21) Define metabolism and describe the two forms; Anabolism and Catabolism and give examples of each? Metabolism: Every time food is swallowed‚ the body works hard to process the nutrients that have been consumed. Long after the food is digested‚ the nutrients the body has now eaten become the building blocks and the fuel of the body to keep it going. The body gets the energy it needs from food‚ and this is called metabolism. Metabolism is a collection of chemical reactions
