Carbohydrates For my health project I did carbohydrates. They are the bodies energy source. Carbohydrates supply the body with the energy it needs to function. They are found almost exclusively in plant foods‚ such as fruits‚ vegetables‚ peas‚ and beans.

Carbohydrates are divided into two groups‚ simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates‚ sometimes

Carbohydrate Metabolism Carbohydrate metabolism starts with digestion in the small intestines. This is the site where monosaccharides are absorbed into the blood stream. This type of metabolism is basically considered to be glucose metabolism because carbohydrates are eventually broken down into glucose so that it can diffuse into the blood stream. There are three hormones in the body that control the concentration on glucose in the body: Insulin‚ glucagon‚ and epinephrine. If sugars are too

PROTEIN TRANSLATION 1. Initiation Translation To begin translation: large and small ribosomal subunit‚ along with the initiating tRNA‚ assembles onto the mRNA 2. Translation Elongation The next amino acyl-tRNA enters the ribosome at the A site The amino acid at the P site is transferred to the tRNA at the A site. The ribosome moves one codon farther along the mRNA‚ releasing the empty tRNA through the E (exit) site. The A site is free for the next incoming RNA. The cycle is repeated as the

of the most useful substances for many living organisms: Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are used for numerous processes in organisms from acting in important roles of cellular recognition in the human body to storing chemical energy in plants in the form or starch. The roles of carbohydrates in the human body alone are numerous; providing energy for working muscles‚ providing energy for the regulation of blood glucose‚ preventing proteins being used for energy‚ breaking down fatty acids and playing

Food Intake – 3 Days A term that is used to encompass nutrient recommendations produced by the National Academy of Sciences and the Food and Nutrition Board is called Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI). DRI is also a common term for a guideline of reference values used to assess and plan a healthy individual’s nutrient intake (Wardlaw et. al.‚ 2011‚ p. 60-61). During a consecutive three-day period‚ protein intakes‚ carbohydrate intakes‚ lipid intakes‚ macronutrient intake ranges‚ fiber intake ranges
