    Shylinda Graystreete AIU Energy‚ Metabolism‚ and Cells- Unit 2-IP April 1‚ 2012 Professor Kelli Roberts Energy‚ Metabolism‚ and Cells Photosynthesis is the process that pretty much every organism on earth needs‚ because of the nutrients produced which is needed in order to live. Plants capture the energy from the sun and converts it into food that is needed by all plants and animals (including us as humans). In this process the chemical reaction which is known as photosynthesis‚ it takes

    The intake of the products high in carbohydrates causes the insulin levels to spike. The high amount of insulin locks the fat which leads to the burning of the glucose instead of the fat. A person loses the most weight during the initial period of the low-carb diets. The reason for this is because the low levels of the insulin in the body causes the kidneys to shed an excessive amount of sodium. Moreover‚ the carbs in the bodies are stored in the form of glycogen. The glycogen binds water molecules

    The aim of the experiment is to investigate the effects of carbohydrate receptors in the mouth on exercise performance during a simulated time trial. Energy is required in the body for metabolic processes‚ physiological functions‚ muscular activity‚ heat production‚ growth and synthesis of new tissues. Carbohydrates have been researched and studied for centuries and are commonly viewed as a substrate for fuel metabolism‚ associated with many other energy-demanding processes. There has been extensive

    Carbohydrate Fermentation Testing Questions A. What is fermentation? It is a metabolic process that allows the production of ATP without need for oxygen B. Why is it important not to incubate the fermentation tubes beyond 24 hours? You may not get accurate results. Although sugar is the primary nutrient used‚ when a microbe runs out of it‚ protein or other nutrients will be attacked This causes changes in the color of the medium because of the pH indicator added to detect acid production. When proteins

    Metabolism is all the chemical reactions that occur within an organism. Metabolism has two-way trajectory organic chemical reactions‚ namely catabolism to unravel molecular organic compounds to gain energy‚ and anabolime of reactions that compose organic compounds of certain molecules‚ which will be absorbed by the body cells. The second track is required by the organism to survive. But with age someone then your metabolism will slow down. It required a variety of ways and methods to speed up the

    Pre-lab 1: Identifying Carbohydrates Abstract The point of this lab is to determine if a substance contains carbohydrates such as a reducing sugar and/or polysaccharides. This will be done by using Benedict’s reagent and Iodine stain tests. Benedict’s reagent will react to reducing substances in the solution by oxidizing it and changing the structure of the reducing sugar to form a colored precipitate. The color of this precipitate can be used to determine the concentration of reducing sugars in

    The importance of carbohydrates in living organisms Carbohydrates contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio of 1.2.1.. There are many different types of carbohydrate‚ all of which are useful to living organisms. The most important carbohydrate is probable glucose. Glucose is a monosaccharide and is the monomer unit which makes up more complex polysaccharides. Two glucose molecules can be joined in a condensation reaction‚ whereby water is removed‚ for example to produce maltose‚ a disaccharide

    Analysis: Lab 1 Identifying Carbohydrates There were many ranges of color changes in the Benedicts test and Iodine stain. For the Benedicts test‚ this oxidation/reduction response changes the arrangement of the reducing sugar creating a colored precipitate. The change in color is correlated to the first concentration of the reducing sugar. For the iodine test‚ the three dimensional structure of various polysaccharides permits them to react with the iodine stain to produce a certain color. As far
