solution‚ by the iodometric technique. • Carbohydrates include simple sugars‚ disaccharides and polysaccharides. They are the most important source of energy for most organisms. Polysaccharides change color in the presence of iodine solution: Glycogen gives a red-brown color and starch a dark blue–violet color. While simple sugars‚ having an aldehyde group‚ or a ketone group act as reducing agents in the presence of Benedict’s reagent producing a range of colors from green to brown depending on

Glucose and Fructose in the liver is the first step. • Glucose enters the liver cell and Glucokinase is in the cytoplasm and adds a Phosphate (Pi) to make G-6-P to keep the glucose in the liver cell‚ which then becomes G-1-P and can be stored as glycogen or move onto the Citric Acid Cycle (CAC) to make ATP or fatty acids. • Fructose enters the liver‚ fructokinase adds a Pi to make F-1-P (the substrate of Aldolase B) to form Aldolase B forming the products DHAP and glyceraldehyde which can then

Ma. Bea Agatha Escueta HOMEOSTASIS Body systems act together to make a point that the body acts efficiently as a whole‚ with the brain as a command centre. “Homeostasis is derived from the Greek‚ homeo or ‘constant’; and stasis or ‘stable’ and means remaining stable or remaining the same.” (Wikipedia. 2013) It is the procedure by which the body keeps static surroundings in which cells‚ tissues‚ and systems can operate. If there’s an alteration happen‚ these procedures can stop‚ decompress or

get glucose the body still needs to produce an alternative form of energy for when glucose gets depleted‚ that alternate form is triglycerides‚ or fatty acids. These are key because unlike glycogen‚ there is no limit to how much fatty acids can be stored in the body. Eventually over a period of time the glycogen will be depleted and no longer be a sufficient fuel‚ so the fatty acids take over. Fatty acids cannot travel through the blood alone because they are hydrophobic‚ thus in order to travel through
