Introduction Glucose is very important in our daily lives. It gives us energy to carry out all of our activities. Cells in our bodies need glucose to respire and in the process release the energy we need. Glucose is also a type of carbohydrate. It has a chemical formula of C6H12O6 and is a monosaccharide reducing sugar (Kolej Mara Banting – Students’ Handbook for Biology HL Year 1). It is the simplest form of carbohydrate.

lactic acid levels rise much less‚ than they do in an unfit person. As the exercise intensity increases so do the heart and respiratory rates to supply oxygen to the working muscles at a faster rate so they can keep up‚ few athletes have perfected this to a point where they can reach a ‘steady state’ in which oxygen supply meets oxygen demand. The arteriovenous oxygen difference‚ or a-vO2 diff‚ is the difference in the oxygen content of the blood between the arterial blood and the venous blood. It is

Solubility of Carbohydrates ‚ Glucose ‚ Galactose and Lactose . Objective : To determine the relative solubility of glucose ‚ galactose and lactose by measuring their saturation point at the same constant temperature. Principle : With 10g distilled water contained in a beaker ‚ then add small quantities of the carbohydrate being test at a time with constant stirring until no more can dissolve ‚ saturation point is represented at r.t.p.. Test the carbohydrates ‚ glucose ‚ galactose and lactose

Positive and Negative Effects of Hormonal Contraceptives This paper closely discusses both the positives and negatives of the use of hormonal contraceptives. The question of its benefits versus risks is even more imperative as it affects far more people than other hot topics like death penalty or euthanasia. We are not talking about a couple of horrific criminals but about 100 million women all across the world who take hormonal contraceptives. As with every drug there are

The 7 levels of Hearing Loss When you hear the word ‘deaf ’you tend to associate it with someone having complete hearing loss‚ this is not always the case. As most of us have noticed the elderly tend to not hear well‚ this is because as we age we progressively lose hearing‚ especially high frequencies. When it comes to being deaf or having hearing loss there are seven common levels or stages of it. They are known as: Normal Hearing‚ Mild-‚ Moderate-‚ Moderately Severe-‚ Severe- ‚ Profound-‚ and

lab is to measure urinary glucose (a known and unknown sample) using two quantitative tests: colorimetric strip test and o-toluidine test. Urinary glucose is the main focus for this lab due to its involvement with diabetes‚ a disease defined by the abnormal regulation of insulin. The most effective method for monitoring glucose is through blood glucose compared to urinary glucose. It has been discovered that urinary glucose is not a good measure of changes in blood glucose because: (1) the bladder

Glucose is one of the key nutrients required in the body. However‚ its amount in the body has to be regulated and maintained in a very narrow range. This regulation of glucose is performed by insulin hormone. Insulin is secreted at the pancreas and hence is referred to as pancreatic endocrine hormones. Insulin is secreted by beta cells‚ which are normally located at the pancreas. When the amount of glucose in the blood increases‚ the stimulus for insulin secretion triggered. The insulin level secreted

The next step of the lab was to test for the presence of glucose in a 15% glucose and 1% starch. Then they took the 15% glucose and 1% starch and took 15 mL and placed them in enclosed bags.
