Fats - Fats are a complex of fatty acid chains attached to a glycerol backbone. Fats are a type of lipid‚ and are used for energy‚ energy storage‚ structure‚ hormones‚ waterproofing‚ and insulation. Types of food would depend on the fats‚ saturated or unsaturated. Butter‚ oils‚ certain meats‚ and certain foods all

The body is made up of a number of systems that all interlink and produce everything we need in order to survive. Within the body there is the digestive system; the circulatory system‚ the nervous system‚ the muscular system‚ the skeletal system and the reproductive system. These systems are all part of one another and they share organs‚ tissues and cells and that is how they interlink. The diagram above shows each system and where they are located in the body. Each system is shown in a different

If it happens in 2015: by 2030 people must manage on 33% less oil‚ in 2045 they have 50% less‚ in 2060 they have 75% less" (“Fossil Fuel Depletion”). Fuel is essential in our society‚ and this depletion has affected and will continue to affect everyone. Because fossil fuels are nonrenewable‚ biodiesel

Enzymes secreted within the digestive system have a role of breaking down food from proteins into amino acids‚ starch into glucose and fats into a mixture of fatty acids and glycerol. It can be analysed that the two body systems work together. Which are the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system. Oxygen is inhaled and enters the respiratory system. It travels down into the lungs through the trachea. Once inside the

We require energy for each and every activity that is being performed whether physically or chemically. This energy is acquired from the food we eat. In order to release that energy‚ certain anabolic and catabolic reactions take place. The three main energy systems are ATP Pcr‚glycolytic and oxidative; oxidative having three futher subgroups. These are discussed below ATP Pcr The ATP Pcr system is a constituent of Adenosine triphosphate and phosphocreatine. This energy system provides high energy
