-Supplying enough energy to support the many functions of the body at work and play is one of the main functions of food. This energy comes from the fats‚ carbohydrates‚ and proteins in the food you eat. Of the three‚ fat is the most concentrated source of energy because it furnishes more than twice as much energy for a given weight as protein or carbohydrate. The energy requirement for a person is divided into two parts: basal metabolic requirements and energy required for activity. Basal metabolic rate

The human body is a remarkable species‚ capable of doing some of the most amazing things known to man. It requires a lot of energy and the organisms that make it up constantly have a task to perform. One of the most important functions in the human body is called cellular respiration. It is defined as a process in which cells take the food humans ingest and turn it into energy that can be used by the body in the form of ATP‚ also known as‚ adenosine triphosphate. The creation and distribution of

looking for the next best thing‚ there are all kinds of fad diets out there that are consistently making outrageous promises to consumers. The latest in the fad diet trend is the “Low Carbohydrate/High Protein” diet. To break it down simply proteins are needed to help the body to grow and repair while carbohydrates provide energy. Both are needed in order for a person to remain healthy‚ which is why fad diets that promote one over the other are harmful to our bodies. Fad diets such as the “low carb/high

1. Diffusion and Osmosis‚ June 4‚ 2013 2. Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to help give visual understanding of diffusion which is a solution of high concentration spontaneously (no energy required) moving to an area of low concentration. Also taking a look at osmosis‚ which is the movement of chemicals across the cell membrane. Osmosis requires some type of energy to be put in for this to happen. After these experiments we should have a better idea and visualization of how chemicals transfer

General Properties: The carbohydrate sourced in the production of Caliber Deicers is a by-product of ethanol production (corn based)2. This by-product is then further refined to remove any particulate matter and the result is clear odorless corn syrup (referred to as Caliber)2. Beet juice is the by-product in the production molasses for sugar beets.3 The by-product is generally not processed further (depends on manufacturer) and commonly contains minute particles dispersed through-out liquid.
