Biochemistry Western Governors University A: Fats are made up fatty acids and a glycerol. They are stored in cells known as adipocytes throughout the body. When the body needs energy the stored fats are broken down through the process of metabolism and beta oxidation (Livestrong.com‚ n.d.). For example‚ triacylglyceride or triglyceride are broken down into their separate parts‚ fatty acid chains and a glycerol. The body will always metabolize the glycerol first because it is easier

How is Medical Technology related to Biochemistry? It is important to study biochemistry if you want to be a medical technologist‚ because it is a basic knowledge required in a clinical practice. It is an important building block if you are going to study medicine. Biochemistry discusses the chemistry of various body portion like the blood‚ urine or any other fluids‚ since medical technologists analyze those to determine a disease. Biochemistry will help medical technologists understand physiological

Theories and Perspectives in Biology – Biochemistry and Metabolism. Metabolism is the term used to describe the chemical reactions that take place inside a cell. Metabolic pathways are a series of these reactions catalysed by enzymes‚ and are carried out in small steps so that the product of one step can be the substrate of the next. The synthesis of larger molecules from this is called anabolism (e.g. constructing tissue) and the breaking down of these larger molecules is called catabolism (Dow

Biochemistry Fats‚ Diet‚ and Heart Disease ‘Fat’ can sometime be a word that gives people the chills when they hear about it. It is one of the three main sources of calories to our diet and a major part of ones dietary requirement. There are three kinds of fat: saturated‚ polyunsaturated and monounsaturated. The degree of saturation is dependent on the amount of double and triple bonds in the chemical makeup. Saturated fats are known to increase the body’s levels of serum (blood) cholesterol

Wine is of great importance in our society today‚ and has been so for thousands of years. Grapes have been cultivated for wine production in the Near East since 4000BC‚ and in Egypt since 2500BC. They were spread from the Black Sea to Spain by the Greek Empire‚into Germany by the Romans and to the New World by Columbus. Wine has had religious significance as both an offering and a sacrament since Biblical times‚ and this has helped its development. Today an enormous variety of wines are available
