In this experiment‚ we will learn about biological important molecules by performing tests to detect the presence of carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ lipids‚ and nucleic acids. Also‚ we will use biochemical tests to identify the unknown compound that react in the following biochemical tests: Benedict’s test‚ Iodine test‚ Sudan IV test‚ Biuret’s Test and the Grease-Spot test‚ also

Theoretical Background Coffee has being blamed for so many ills from causing diseases and cancers to many people. Recent study states that coffee intake is not bad at all and doesn’t find any health benefits in causing cancer and diseases. However these studies state that a mild intake of unfiltered coffee can increase cholesterol levels. Newer studies have also shown that coffee may have benefits‚ such as protecting against Parkinson’s disease‚ type 2 diabetes and liver cancer also it has high

your pancreas to cause cells in your liver‚ muscles and fat tissue to absorb glucose from your blood and store it as glycogen for future energy needs. Glucose is a form of sugar used by your body for energy‚ and is derived from the consumption of carbohydrates (e.g. starch). So you eat a donut‚ your body breaks it down‚ glucose is released into your blood‚ insulin is released as a reaction‚ and triggers your liver‚ muscles and fatty tissue to absorb this donut-derived glucose as glycogen for use down

FACTS ABOUT ASPARTAME. In an even that one wants to make something taste sweeter‚ an individual is faced with two choices; they can either use sugar and sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners. In choosing to use artificial sweeteners also called sugar substitutes or nonnutritive sweeteners or noncaloric sweeteners‚ one can either use acesulfame K‚ neotame‚ saccharin‚ sucralose and finally Aspartame. Aaspartame is a lab manufactured sweetener that does not exist in the form of a naturally grown

Polysaccharides: From Waste Products to Smart Materials Dr. Caroline L. Schauer Polysaccharides are simply carbohydrates formed by combination or chain of monosaccharides and are a very common organic compound found in nature. We are exposed to them various times a day and they make up an important part of our Earth. Some common polysaccharides are: cellulose‚ chitin (in seafood)‚ starch‚ alginate‚ hydroaluronic acid‚ chondritin sulfate‚ glycogen‚ xylan‚ pectin‚ and various others. Polysaccharides

P5. Explaining the Concept of Homeostasis. M2. Probable homeostatic response’s to changes in the internal environment during exercise. The actual word homeostasis means "steady state". Homeostasis describes how the body regulates its process to keep its internal conditions as stable as possible. Homeostasis is necessary because human cells are efficient but very demanding. The phrase homeostasis is a bit confusing; conditions inside our bodies are not constant but are kept within a narrow

Introduction In this experiment‚ glucose‚ maltose‚ lactose and sucrose are used for testing reducing and non-reducing sugars. Glucose is monosaccharide while maltose‚ lactose and sucrose are disaccharides of carbohydrates. Monosaccharaides are the monomers which make up all other carbohydrates and cannot be broken into smaller molecules by hydrolysis. Disaccharides are formed from the condensation reaction between two monosaccharaides and are linked by glycoside bond. All monosaccharaides and some

1. The heart rate determines the intensity of the fitness activity. a. 12*6=72 b. 220-21=199 c. 129-150 range. 2. Aerobic metabolism‚ uses fats‚ proteins and carbohydrates that are oxidized and turned into carbon dioxide and water. Anaerobic metabolism‚ uses only carbohydrates and enters the fluid‚ or cytoplasm‚ of the cell and is turned into lactic acid. Aerobic exercises are running‚ biking‚ and swimming‚ whereas anaerobic exercises are sprinting‚ jumping‚ weight training. 3. My activity is considered

light-dependent stage‚ water is photolyzed by the light into Hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen enters the second stage and oxygen became a by-product. Then‚ in independent stage‚ and enzyme catalyse the reduction of carbon dioxide by hydrogen‚ forming a carbohydrate‚ which is glucose. Glucose can be translocated in the dorm of fructose or sucrose or stored as starch in granules. To put it simply‚ carbon dioxide and water molecules form glucose and oxygen with light energy‚ and the overall equation for photosynthesis

1.0 ABSTRACT The production of reducing sugars by acid of carbohydrate cereals powder‚ jams (total sugar content) and jams (reducing sugar content) were performed in order to study reducing sugar production. The study involved hydrolysis carbohydrate cereals powder and jams by immersing in boiling water at environmental temperature. Acid hydrolysis was carried out through reflux boiling for 20 minutes with 10ml 0f 1.5M concentrations of diluted sulphuric acid. Reducing sugars concentrations
