The Uses of water in Living Things Topics I have chosen to cover: - Osmosis & Water potential - Condensation & Hydrolysis Reactions - Digestion – the importance of water - Blood and tissue fluid To emphasise the sheer importance of water in living things and to put the content of this essay in to perspective‚ I am firstly going to inform you that the human body is approximately 50-75% water. Without water our body would be unable to successfully perform the numerous complex reactions and
Premium Protein Atom Starch
a catalytic enzyme which hydrolyzes starch into maltose and dextrin at a certain temperature (Biology.kenyon.edu‚ 2015). In plants such as fruits and vegetables carbohydrates are referred to starch which is polysaccharide and is converted into disaccharide and eventually into monosaccharide such as glucose with the help of amylase. (Fullick‚ Locke and Bircher‚ n.d.). If carbohydrates are not digested properly they may lead to adverse health consequences. Amylase is not only involved in the digestion

food are converted to usable chemical energy known as ATP. The body takes what we ingest and breaks down the substances to rebuild useful substances to promote energy. Carbohydrates(like starch and glycogen) and sugars(like monosaccharides and disaccharides) can be stored in the body as a backup supply to form ATP. Fatty acids are broken down to glycerol to be used in glycolysis. Proteins are broken down to amino acids the body can be used

It is a digestive enzyme found in the intestines of mammals. Beta-galactosidase is an enzyme that initiates the breakdown of the substrate lactose. Lactose is a disaccharide sugar found in milk. It is composed of two rings. The rings contain 5 carbon atoms and an oxygen atom. Attached to the carbon atoms are a hydrogen atom and an OH group or another carbon. The rings are bound together by an oxygen bridge. This bridge

One of their main purposes is to act as an energy source for plants and animals; such as glucose being broken down during cell respiration. Monosaccharides are also monomers which serve as building blocks for more complex carbohydrates to form. Disaccharides is the second group and consists of two monosaccharides joined together by glycosidic linkage. They are common components found in what people eat and mainly serve to give nutrition to said diets. The third group is polysaccharides‚ the polymers

elaborate creations‚ and something amusing and frivolous.[4] Confectioneries are defined by the presence of sweeteners. These are usually sugars‚ but it is possible to buy sugar-free sweets‚ such as sugar-free peppermints. Most common is the disaccharide sucrose. Hydrolysis of sucrose gives a mixture called invert sugar‚ which is sweeter and is also a common ingredient. Finally confectioneries‚ especially commercial ones‚ are sweetened by a variety of syrups obtained by hydrolysis of starch‚ these

that encourage a human cell and a human body to function. Carbohydrates include sugars and starches‚ contain carbon‚ hydrogen‚ and oxygen which appears in a ratio of 1:2:1. Carbohydrates are classified according to size as monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ and polysaccharides. The primary function of carbohydrates is to serve as sources of energy. Carbohydrates are some of the most numerous molecules in living organisms. They play a major role
