molecules are Carbohydrates‚ Lipids‚ Proteins‚ nucleic acids. Carb is an abbreviation for carbohydrates. The body breaks down carbohydrates into simple sugars. Carbohydrates are easily used for energy by the body. The nervous system and brain need the glucose formed from breakdown of carbohydrates. If carbohydrates are not available‚ the body burns lipids/fats for energy. Lipids is the scientific name for fats. Lipids act as chemical messengers in the body. Lipids are the last to be digested

NUR ASHIKIN BINTI MANSHOR DHM12-05112094 TUTORIAL DIGESTION SYSTEM OF CARBOHYDRATE Carbohydrate Digestion and Absorption Basically‚ digestion of carbohydrate involves conversion of the large molecules of carbohydrates like di-saccharides and polysaccharides into simple mono-saccharide molecules which can be easily absorbed by the body. The first step of digestion is the moment we put the food in mouth. As we chew the food‚ the saliva released by the salivary glands of the mouth starts

The term oxidative stress has been often used to indicate the outcome of oxidative damage to biologically relevant macromolecules such as: nucleic acids‚ proteins‚ lipids and carbohydrates. This occurs when oxidative stress-related molecules‚ produced in the extracellular environment or within the cell exceed cellular antioxidant defenses (Cadenas‚ 1989). Molecular oxygen can easily accept unpaired electrons giving rise to a group of partially reduced species‚ generally termed ROS. The ROS include:

Professor`s name: Course number: Date: Metabolic Pathways of Drugs The principal site for drug metabolism in the human body is the liver organ. The process of metabolism usually inactivates drugs though some drug metabolites are pharmacologically in active status. Inactive substance which has a metabolite that is active is referred to as a prodrug. Drugs are metabolized by the following

result of conducting various qualitative chemical analysis tests‚ Monster Energy ® was found to contain a large amount of reducing sugars and NaCl. It was found to be void of proteins and lipids. Further‚ Canada Dry ® gingerale was found to contain a large amount of reducing sugars‚ while being void of protein‚ lipids and NaCl. The components of the Monster Energy drink tested were quite congruent to the components found in the other energy drinks. The exceptions‚ however‚ were that SugarFree Rockstar

Critique of Tips for Slowing Down Your Metabolism The purpose of the author was to explain that metabolic rate is not the key factor to weight losing and it is better to slow down the metabolism than to raise it. The logical structure of the article is composed of three components‚ the definition of metabolic rate‚ the relation between the rate and weight losing and the preference to speeding up or slowing down the metabolic rate. Generally speaking‚ it is unquestionable that losing weight has tiny

of energy: carbohydrates and proteins provide about 4 Calories per gram; fats provide about 9 Calories per grams. Metabolism- Hormones control the direction and rate of metabolism. The rate of metabolism when a person is at rest is called basal metabolic rate. It is the measure of heat produced by metabolism. The molecules of glucose and fatty acids are in the process of metabolism.

people have heard the terms aerobics and anaerobic‚ but most people don’t know what those terms mean. These two terms refer to the presence and absence of oxygen. Our bodies cells choose to get the energy that they need using oxygen to fuel metabolism. During an aerobic activity the muscle cells can contract repeatedly without fatigue. During anaerobics the muscle cell doesn’t rely on oxygen to fuel the muscle contractions. It relies on its natural body chemicals. Aerobics is a low to moderate

THE GREAT METABOLIC RACE INTRODUCTION During exercise‚ carbohydrates and lipids are required in order to provide energy for the working body. The inherent reduced nature of these compounds allows for partial or complete oxidation in extracting energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The varying chemical structure of the macromolecules evokes different processes for their complete utilisation. This paper seeks to expound on the mobilisation of these fuels‚ the biochemical pathways that
