BACKGROUND The principal chemical constituents of living matter are: water‚ mineral salts‚ organic compounds such as carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ lipids‚ nucleic acids. In this exercise we shall concentrate on carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and we shall estimate the concentration of Vitamin C‚ an organic compound‚ in a solution‚ by the iodometric technique. • Carbohydrates include simple sugars‚ disaccharides and polysaccharides. They are the most important source of energy for most organisms

Metabolism Figure 1 above is adapted from João M‚ et al (2012) the chromatographic methodologies for analysis of cocaine and its metabolites which‚ shows the metabolic pathway of cocaine administrated. Cocaine is largely metabolized into two major metabolites benzoylecgonine (BE) and ecgonine methyl ester (EME) and two minor metabolites norcocaine (NCOC) and m- and p-hydroxycocaine (OH-COC) (Goldstein et al.‚ 2009). Benzoylecgonine is primarily produce in the liver by human carbozylerstrase type

its natural form‚ sucrose‚ is a carbohydrate‚ which makes it an energy substance. It is also known‚ as sucrose is a sweet crystalline substance obtained from various plants‚ especially sugar cane and sugar beef. It is used a sweetener in foods to make them taste better‚ and is made up off glucose and fructose. Glucose‚ called a simple sugar‚ is a carbohydrate‚ which makes it a pure energy molecule. For when it’s oxidized in the body‚ in a process called metabolism‚ its breaks down the energy for

HW-205 Unit 9 Professor Dengler With so many supplements on the market‚ it is impossible to know what is best for you. The best strategy is to do research and note any side effects or possible contradictions with any other medication you may be taking. I have chosen to create a supplement for Diabetes. Clearly this is not meant to cure the disease but merely to help to lessen any side effects you may be experiencing from the disease. High levels of glucose over long periods of time can cause

Pesticides are heavily used in commercial wheat production‚ even when it’s organic wheat. Metabolism‚ Modification and Mineral Stores There’s also the issue of glycemic impact. Most wheat products are made of primarily flour‚ which is almost pure starch. Whether it’s white bread or whole grain‚ wheat flour is unnaturally high on the Glycemic

Most abundant organic molecule in nature a) 3 major classes: Monosaccharides – simple sugar – polyhydroxy aldehyde or ketone; represent individual sugar Oligosaccharides – consist of short chains of monosaccharide units joined together by covalent bonds; 2-10 strings of sugar Polysaccharides – long chains having hundreds or thousands of monosaccharide units b) Functions: Provide energy thru oxidation – glucose oxidized for energy Supply carbon
