Fibre is an important part of a healthy diet. A diet high in fibre has many health benefits. It can help prevent heart disease‚ diabetes‚ weight gain‚ some cancers‚ and it can also improve digestive health. However‚ many people don’t get enough fibre. On average‚ most people in the UK get about 14g of fibre a day. You should aim for at least 18g a day. Fibre is only found in foods that come from plants. Foods such as meat‚ fish and dairy products don’t contain fibre. There are two different types

Protein Article Research SCI/241 August 1‚ 2013 Dr. Theodore Keneklis Protein Article Research Proteins are made up of amino acids‚ and in our bodies we have proteins that “are part of every cell‚ tissue‚ and organ in our bodies” (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Protein‚ http://www.cdc.gov/nutrition/everyone/basics/protein.html). There are complete proteins which are made up from animals. These kinds of proteins are found in meat‚ poultry‚ fish and even cheese. A complete

We have four important macromolecules; carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids. From these four‚ the macromolecule I chose for this assignment was carbohydrate. Carbohydrates branch off into three main categories; monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ and polysaccharides. I decided to focus on disaccharides‚ specifically sucrose. Sucrose is more commonly known as table sugar. It has a chemical formula of C12H22O11. It is physically described as a white‚ odorless (although when heated‚ it may

Corruption and Mortality in Hamlet Hamlet is arguably one of the most complex characters in literature‚ and most certainly within Shakespeare’s realm. He can be both weak and admirable‚ and he defies the explanation of many readers I am sure. Death is a constant presence in HAMLET‚ right from the beginning of the play the themes of death and mortality set in with the death of King Hamlet. From then on‚ young Hamlet cannot stop questioning the meaning of life and more importantly‚ its’ eventual

Lipids & Fat Casey G. Turner‚ RN Western Governors University Lipids & ATP • Fatty acids are important to energy production. They generate ATP. • This is completed by: 1. Starting with a triglyceride molecule the fatty acid part separates from the glycerol part of the molecule. 2. Once separated‚ the fatty acid chain will break into sections. Each section will be composed of 2 carbon molecules. 3. Each of the carbon pieces will form Acetyl CoA. Each Acetyl CoA enters the Krebs Cycle. 4. It is

Proteins play an important role in the human body. The DNA molecule controls the synthesis of proteins. The DNA contains genes which are sequences of nucleotides and bases. Proteins are used for growth and repair. Proteins are made up of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Firstly ’amino acid synthesis ’ is the set of biochemical processes by which the various amino acids are produced from other compounds. The substrates for these processes are various compounds in the organism ’s diet

II. Global Public Health Issue Somalia is a country that has suffered from many issues since the collapse of any sort of centralized government. The Somali people have suffered from countless diseases‚ poverty‚ conflict‚ environmental disasters‚ and constant displacement. For almost an entire generation the country has been without an effective central government‚ which in turn had major effects on the country’s health system.

The infant mortality rate is horrendously high in undeveloped countries. Despite America being a developed country and having available prenatal information programs; infant mortality is a growing problem in African American women. A plethora of infants are dying in the African American community‚ which indicates

DENATURATION OF PROTEINS Abstract The experiment aimed to use the concept of viscosity to study the effects of different denaturants on 1% albumin extract. An Ostwald viscometer was used to measure the flow time of 5 mL of the blank and native protein. These were then denatured by adding 1 mL of denaturant and had their flow time measured. The flow time from the blank to denatured protein is increasing. The specific viscosity and reduced viscosity
