Final Paper 5/2/2013 Lactose Intolerance The topic I chose to research was lactose intolerance. Lactose is the natural sugar found in milk. Lactose is made by joining a molecule of glucose with one of galactose (Willett 101). We are born with the enzyme lactase‚ which digests and breaks down the lactose. Some people do not digest lactose well due to a lack of lactase or their body may make lactase that does not work properly. Not all people with a lactase deficiency have digestive symptoms‚ but

Erik Lindroth Ms. Wasserman English 11 October 18‚ 2012 Intolerance is an action that was a major part of puritan society‚ and is still encountered in our modern world. Ironically‚ intolerance is a often a result of religious expectations and differing opinions. In both the Puritan society of Salem and the modern world‚ intolerance results from between those who strongly follow a religion‚ and others who differ. Since religions contain a variety of ideas and beliefs that are regarded so highly

monosaccharaides and some disaccharides such as maltose and lactose are reducing sugars due to the presence of aldehyde or keto groups in the sugars. Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar because the aldehyde group of glucose is linked to the keto group of fructose and loses its reducing ability. The Benedict’s test is used as it allows the detection of the presence of reducing sugars. All monosaccharaides and some disaccharides which have exposed carbonyl groups will react with Benedict’s solution‚ whereas

Sugar’s effect on your health The average American consumes an astounding 2-3 pounds of sugar each week‚ which is not surprising considering that highly refined sugars in the forms of sucrose (table sugar)‚ dextrose (corn sugar)‚ and high-fructose corn syrup are being processed into so many foods such as bread‚ breakfast cereal‚ mayonnaise‚ peanut butter‚ ketchup‚ spaghetti sauce‚ and a plethora ofmicrowave meals. In the last 20 years‚ we have increased sugar consumption in the U.S. 26 pounds

Intolerance is not a new idea as can be seen in the play The Crucible written by Arthur Miller‚ which takes place in 1692 during the Salem Witch Trials. The Puritans specialized in narrow-minded beliefs as anyone who did not conform to their ideals was not tolerated in their society. Without their ignorance‚ it would have been much harder for the Witch Trials to occur if they did at all. It may seem like dangerous intolerance is an ancient concept‚ but discrimination lives on in today’s society.

Abstract Carbohydrates are important in metabolic processes for everyday physical and chemical actions. The carbohydrate‚ glucose‚ is a key component in generating adenosine triphosphate‚ also known as ATP. In order to analyze unknown glucose levels‚ a DNS assay was performed. By using 2-hydroxy-3‚5-dinitrobenzoic acid to oxidize the aldehyde group on the carbohydrate‚ the reducing end of glucose increases in absorbance of 540 nm. Using a UV spectrophotometer‚ the concentration was calculated
