Worksheet 7-A: Metabolism Exercises Name __ _________________________ Metabolism explains how the cells in the body use nutrients to meet its needs. Cells may start with small‚ simple compounds and use them as building blocks to form larger‚ more complex structures (anabolism). These anabolic reactions involve doing work and so require energy. Alternatively‚ cells may break down large compounds into smaller ones (catabolism). Catabolic reactions usually release energy. Determine whether the

as part of a meal. Conceptual Terms The definitions of terms are based on concepts or hypothetic ones‚ which are usually taken from the dictionary. 1.) Calorie - a quantity of food capable of producing such an amount of energy. 2.) Carbohydrate - a source of energy and include foods composed of starches and sugars. 3.) Fiber - The parts of grains‚ fruits‚ and vegetables that contain cellulose and are not digested by the body. Fiber helps the intestines absorb water‚ which increases the

Feeney Biology 9 October 16‚ 2012 Identifying Organic Compounds Objective: To use indicators to test for the presence of organic compounds in certain substances. Theory: Major types of organic compounds in some common foods are Lipids‚ Carbohydrates‚ and Proteins. An indicator is a chemical compound that changes color and structure when exposed to certain conditions and is therefore useful for chemical tests. The purpose of using distilled water as one of the substances in the test is that

Sugar‚ one of the most used item in making various beverages worldwide. Almost every kind of beverages have sugar poured in to add the sweetness. Coffee‚ tea‚ juice‚ latte‚ milk‚ and many more. It’s like people will always take note "don’t forget to add sugar" when making any kind of drinks. It’s not uncommon to find sugar in most kind of foods either. What people usually overlook is the fact that sugar also provides health benefits. One example of healthier sugar is Panela sugar. This type of sugar

There are four major types of biological macromolecules - carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids - made up of elements such as carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ sulfur‚ and phosphorus in various combinations. Macromolecules are essential for survival; they provide structural support‚ a source of stored
