different types: oxygenic photosynthesis and anoxygenic photosynthesis. During oxygenic photosynthesis‚ the light energy transforms the electrons from water and turns it into carbon dioxide‚ which then produces carbohydrates. In the end‚ oxygen is also produced along with the carbohydrates. In the process of anoxygenic photosynthesis‚ it uses the electrons donors besides water. This mostly occurs in bacteria such as green sulfur bacteria and purple

Using the digestive system and its many organs through the process of digestion and metabolism is how our bodies receive the energy it needs to continue on throughout the day and the rest of our lives. Chemistry then kicks in as food starts its process from entering to leaving the body‚ through the rate of our metabolism‚ and also by the transfer of energy. The chemistry in the digestive system is a very important process‚ because without it there would

Products that combine caffeine with other stimulants (ephedrine) have been linked to fatal events. Protein and carbohydrate supplementation provides modest benefits with no major adverse effects. A hot and humid environment can be detrimental to race performance. Caffeine‚ on the other hand‚ has been shown to be an ergogenic aid for improving endurance performance

I did not consume any fruits nor dairy. My intake compared to the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges match the ranges very well accept in one category. In protein the acceptable ranges is 10-35% and my average was 14%. In carbohydrate the acceptable range 45-65% and my average was 39%‚ I was very close but I need to change my diet so I can reach at least 45%. In fast the acceptable range is 20-35% and my average was 48% which is way over the acceptable range. According to my

Protein? Proteins‚ which are constructed from amino acid monomers‚ are considered one of the four major macronutrients needed by the body‚ along with carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ and nucleic acids. Only the first three nutrients listed require delicate balancing. One must consider the sources from which he or she receives those required nutrients. Carbohydrates from fruits‚ vegetables‚ and grains; lipids from oily animals such as fish or plant foods like avocados; and proteins from meats‚ legumes‚ beans‚ or

triphosphate. It is often referred to as the ‘‘molecular unit of currency’’. They transport energy within cells for metabolism. One molecule of ATP contains three phosphate groups. How ATP is produced in the 3 energy systems? The first system ATP is produced in is the Phosphagen System. This system is the quickest way to gain back ATP after intense exercise. In this process‚ no carbohydrate or fat is used. The ATP comes from something called creatine phosphate (CP). This process is anaerobic‚ as it

MICROBIAL NUTRITION Nutrition which is also called as nourishment or aliment is a provision to the cells and organisms with the materials necessary to support life. Here it deals with the nutrition in microorganism which is called as microbial nutrition. Nutrients may be divided into three general‚ often overlapping categories: Those that supply energy‚ those that supply carbon‚ and those that supply any and everything else.
