The main purpose of carbohydrate loading is to reestablish both the glycogen of the muscles and liver in order to keep hunger away during some types of competitive sports. These types of competitive sports include: marathons‚ long distance swimming‚ and cycling. Carbohydrate loading is done anywhere from a week out from a competition or event to only twenty four hours before. There are three main benefits to carb loading for athletes of sports like marathons‚ long distance swimming‚ cycling‚ and

Carbohydrate Counting & Diabetes What is carbohydrate counting? Carbohydrate counting‚ also called carb counting‚ is a meal planning tool for people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Carbohydrate counting involves keeping track of the amount of carbohydrate in the foods you eat each day. Why count carbohydrates? • To follow a meal plan. • To use in insulin-to-carb meal ratio. • Portion control and body weight control. What Are Carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are one of the main nutrients found in food

Glucose is a form of energy derived from carbohydrates. All living organisms requires energy to live and thrive. When glucose is ingested it is transported through the circulatory system by the various tissues and organs. This glucose will be used by the muscular and nervous system to complete day to day task. If the body is not in need of glucose it will be stored in the form of glycogen for a later date. The entire process starts with carbohydrates‚ for this paper we will be tracing the path of

The structure and function of carbohydrates A carbohydrate is an organic molecule containing only Carbon‚ Hydrogen and Oxygen with the general formula Cn(H20)n. They are made up of individual molecules called monomers which are joined together by condensation reactions to make a longer chain called a polymer. Carbohydrates are categorised in to three main groups; monosaccharides‚ disaccharides and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides are single sugars and are sweet tasting soluble substances such

Cellular Respiration through Alcoholic Fermentation Abstract: The experiment was conducted to determine the impact different yeast amounts had on yeast fermentation. It was hypothesized that the more yeast added the more CO2 would be produced. The carbon dioxide production was measured in the fermentation of yeast with solution of no yeast in test tube 1‚ 1mL yeast in test tube 2‚ and 3mL of yeast in test tube 3 over a period of twenty minutes. All of the yeast amounts produced CO2‚ but test tube
