Introducton : The most common macromolecules found in living organisms are carbohydrates ‚ lipids‚ proteins and nucleic acids. Briefly‚ the meaning of macromolecules is that they normally contain two or more molecules in them and their main functions are to store energy‚ information and much more. Most foods are known to be combinations of macromolecules. While some of these compounds can be detected by taste tests‚ many cannot. Scientists then use certain tests to determine the presence of

Since its discovery‚ Sugar has become a key ingredient in our food chain. Sugar is a soluble carbohydrate which is mostly used for consumption. Carbohydrates are made up of elements of carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen (Queneau‚ 2007). The ratio of hydrogen is twice the oxygen and the carbon. Sugar contains sucrose which is the common saccharide in many plant parts. Sucrose (sugar) is composed of 12 carbon atoms‚ 22 hydrogen atoms and 11 oxygen atoms. Therefore‚ the chemical formula of compound sugar C12H22O11

Health and Social Care Level 3 Task 4 P5- Explain the concept of Homeostasis. Homeostasis describes how your body regulates its process to keep its internal conditions as stable as possible. Human cells are efficient but very demanding so the homeostasis is needed. Temperature and blood PH change slightly while others such as blood glucose very considerably throughout a normal day without producing any harmful effects. Homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment in the response
