Energy drinks are beverages containing stimulant drugs marketed as providing mental and physical stimulation through high amounts of sugar and caffeine. Other common chemicals are taurine‚ inositol‚ Vitamins B3‚ B5‚ B6 and B12‚ supposed to provide extra energy. This paper will identify structures‚ why these compounds give energy‚ health implications and propose an energy drink ban for teenagers. Caffeine (C8H10N4O2) is below left. Caffeine is fat and water-soluble‚ being absorbed into

contains the materials like cellulose‚ proteins‚ starch‚ vitamins‚ certain acids‚ fructose or sugar. All these materials are found in mixed form inside the fruit and they have different proportions in different fruits. Fruits of sweet taste have more fructose in them whereas the fruits of sour taste have more acids in them. Some fruits are sweet as well as sour in taste like orange‚ as it has almost equal quantities of fructose and acids in it. Fruits like limes and lemons have a sour taste; they

Throughout time many athletic players drink sport drinks like gatorade or powerade but the question is when should we drink sport drinks or water. Your body needs water to maintain performance. Water is composed of two hydrogen and one oxygen atom. For your body to maintain athletic performance it must have oxygen in the muscles (which water contains). When exercising we burn carbohydrates. When we lose these carbohydrates they need to be replaced. There are many alternatives to replace carbohydrates

The Paleo Diet‚ an increasingly popular meal-plan in which people are taking it back to the beginning‚ the very beginning. The meal is based entirely off of the premise of the hunter-gatherer era. Mostly focused around high-protein intake and low-carbohydrate and sugar intake‚ the diet is a great way to drop those couple extra pounds‚ for the most part. Although The Paleo Diet says to cut back on fruit and cut out white potatoes‚ these two foods can actually play a part in one’s health in more than

Yeast which is also known as Saccharomyces Cerevisiae is a unicellular eukaryotic Fungi means that is made up of one cell with a nucleus(“What is Yeast”).Yeast is a very practical product that is used in mainy way like when baking Yeast helps raise the dough and also yeast is used in the process of making wine.The Reason why yeast was chosen to was to see how yeast can metabolize different sugars and how much Co2 they release when when metabolizing.To test the yeast at the lab we used 4 different

six smith fermentation tubes‚ distilled water and sugar substrates. It composed of six set-ups which used 15ml of 10% yeast suspension‚ 15 ml distilled water and 15 ml of their assigned sugar substrate namely: starch‚ lactose‚ sucrose glucose and fructose respectively. Set-up six was the controlled set-up and did not contain any sugar substrate. The opening of the tube was covered with a cotton ball to prevent oxygen from entering. The set-ups were then observed every five minutes for thirty minutes

take the sugars in the surrounding environment and convert it into carbon dioxide. They use ethanol fermentation when no oxygen is available‚ which is different from eukaryotes in which they use lactic acid fermentation. The sugar my group used was fructose‚ a sugar most often found fruits. It is a five-sided sugar bound by glucopyranosyl and hydroxide ions. The five other sugars were sucrose‚ sucralose‚ aspartame‚ starch‚ and glucose. Sucrose is a disaccride found in table sugar. It is a five-sided

The ingredients in one Jell-O packet have many chemicals and ingredients that are bad for the body. To have ingredients that are harmful for a person to consume is a bad practice that Kraft is using upon their consumers. If this is advertised for children‚ why make the ingredients harmful for them? Some of the most dangerous ingredients that are in Jell-O are sugar‚ Red #40‚ artificial flavors and sweeteners‚ and BHA. To begin with‚ the first ingredient that is listed is sugar‚ meaning that this

Sucrose –34.35‚ fructose –33.84‚ glucose –31.81‚ starch –1.57‚ and both lactose and distilled water got zero. Some substrates have simple compositions and are easy to break down unlike while some have complex compositions and are hard to break down during the process of
