glucose‚ into the bloodstream. The body will maintain the blood glucose level between 80 to 100 mg/dL and some glucose will be stored as glycogen in the liver. When blood is taken from the bloodstream‚ the glucose concentration will increase after drinking coke as insulin is actively being produced and released from the pancreas to convert glucose into glycogen lowering the blood glucose level. c) This is due to homeostasis regulating the body system back to normal. When the blood glucose concentration

I. Objectives A. Define energetics and metabolism and explain why cells must synthesize new organic components. B. Differentiate between the absorptive and postabsorptive metabolic states‚ and summarize the characteristics of each. C. List the metabolic processes of the liver. D. Summarize the mechanisms of lipid transport and distribution. E. Discuss the use of proteins as an energy source. F. Define metabolic rate‚ discuss the factors involved in determine an

respiration to produce ATP. ATP is then broken down to provide energy for everyday activities such as walking‚ or talking. Excess glucose is converted into glycogen and stored in the liver and muscle tissue that can then act as an instant energy source when needed. It is stored in the cells in the form of granules in the cytoplasm. Glycogen is a polysaccharide (polymer) which alpha glucose is stored as. A polysaccharide is a long chain of monosaccharaides joined together by glysocidic bonds. Glysocidic

The jury’s still out on whether or not you need to supplement L-Carnitine. Glucuronolactone - C6H8O6 It is placed in energy drinks because it is believed to help prevent glycogen depletion by preventing other substances from depleting glycogen supplies in the muscles. Red Bull Energy Drink Taurin- C2H7NO3S Taurine is an amino acid that is naturally produced by the human body. However‚ the version found in energy drinks is manufactured. It helps regulate

The Effect of Caffeine on Athletes during Endurance Sports Caffeine is a mild stimulant that is found naturally in at least 63 plant species. Caffeine can be found in the leaves‚ stems‚ seeds‚ and roots of these various plants. It is also part of the methylxanthine family. Caffeine consists of a xanthine molecule with three methyl groups attached to it (Wikipedia). Caffeine can be found in many products like sodas‚ tea‚ and coffee‚ but it also occurs in several other products such as prescription

The liver is the body’s energy factory. Most of the sugar you eat is turned into chemicals that can be used by the body cells. These chemicals known as glucose or dextrose are part of the bodies main source of energy that is known as glycogen. Glycogen is produced by the liver. It is an "instant" energy
