INTRODUCTION: Carbohydrates are the product that made up from carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen. Carbohydrates are form by the combination of carbon dioxide and water molecules. The carbohydrates contain two specific functional group in it which is the hydroxyl groups and carbonyl groups.A reducing sugar is a type of sugar with is an aldehyde group.This means that sugar can act as a reducing agent.The procces of reducing sugar is isomerisation‚example of reducing sugar islactose

The wonders brought by Sugarcane Sugarcane is a form of grass that belongs to Poaceae family. It is native to the regions of the Old World‚ ranging from warm temperate ones to tropical ones. Sugarcanes have a stout‚ jointed and fibrous stalk‚ which can measure 2 to 6 meters in height. They are rich in sugar and today‚ are being grown in over 200 countries of the world. In 2005‚ Brazil was the largest producer of sugarcane in the world‚ followed by India. Apart from being the source of sugar‚ sugarcanes

Dehydration-synthesis is a reaction that occurs to form different types of macromolecules. It is a reaction that leaves a macromolecule structure along the lines of developing its own specific function in a living organism. The 4 most common ones are carbohydrates which includes monosaccharides and polysaccharides‚ lipids‚ proteins and nucleic acids (Mack 2012). Scientists identify different types of macromolecules to achieve a better understanding on how they function in our bodies. This can be achieved

skeletal muscles‚ liver and adipose cells. The skeletal muscles uptake glucose‚ to give energy for movement and the glucose that travels to the liver is converted into glycogen‚ and stored here until it is needed. The adipose cells use glucose for cell metabolism. Once sufficient glucose has been removed from the blood‚ the beta cells slow the secretion of insulin‚ so that homeostasis is again restored. (Glenn‚ 2005‚ pg84). Both insulin and glucagon are vital to ensure that the body constantly has enough

Thus‚ glucose is a basic energy source for all living organisms. The oxygen released(with water vapour‚ in transpiration) as a photosynthetic byproduct‚ principally of‚ phytoplankton‚ provides most of the atmospheric oxygen vital to respiration

Premium Glucose Nutrition Digestion
sugar factories‚ producing millions of new glucose molecules per second. Plants use much of this glucose‚ a carbohydrate‚ as an energy source to build leaves‚ flowers‚ fruits‚ and seeds. They also convert glucose to cellulose‚ the structural material used in their cell walls. Most plants produce more glucose than they use‚ however‚ and they store it in the form of starch and other carbohydrates in roots‚ stems‚ and leaves. The plants can then draw on these reserves for extra energy or building materials
Premium Photosynthesis Plant Glucose
Starch is a type of Carbohydrate that’s made from thousands of glucose units. Simple sugars are the basic units that make up starch. Carbohydrates provide us with energy so that we can carry out our daily routines. Our body then digests it into glucose so we can have energy to do that. Saliva is a form of chemical digestion that is in the mouth. Amylase is an enzyme that catalysts the breakdown of starch into sugars. Amylase is present in human saliva‚ where it begins the chemical process of digestion

Sports Nutritionist: Semi-professional baseball team Jason McCawley SPHE 320 Winter 14 19 February 2014 -2- When it comes to baseball‚ in particular‚ semi professional baseball‚ i.e. the players in the particular league most likely fall into one of three possible categories. The first category are those being the players who are trying to get noticed by a Major League team. The second category of players are those who may have previously played professional ball‚ and for whatever reason
