None of the energy drinks contain fats‚ which actually provide the body with 2x the amount of energy per gram than carbohydrates and proteins. Finally‚ Monster Energy was the only drink that contained NaCl. Through research‚ it was found that NaCl maintains the “sodium-potassium pump” in the body.

Detection of Biological Molecules Introduction: Without carbon‚ nitrogen‚ hydrogen‚ sulfur‚ oxygen and phosphorus‚ life wouldn’t exist. These are the most abundant elements in living organisms. These elements are held together by covalent bonds‚ ionic bonds‚ hydrogen bonds‚ and disulfide bonds. Covalent bonds are especially strong‚ thus‚ are present in monomers‚ the building blocks of life. These monomers combine to make polymers‚ which is a long chain of monomers strung together. Biological

Identification of Macromolecules Introduction The most common macromolecules found in living organisms are lipids‚ carbohydrates‚ 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
