JULIA SELORMEY BIO 111 Iodine Description: Is a trace mineral that your body uses in small amounts to synthesize thyroid hormones that are necessary for regulating the body growth‚ development‚ metabolism and body temperature. Most of the iodine in the body is found in the thyroid gland‚ but is found also in the blood and muscles. The body contains approximately 20 to 30 mg of iodine which is mostly stored in the thyroid gland located in front of the neck. Food sources: Milk is the major

Biomolecules The Introduction A Biomolecule is any molecule that is in the human body. There are four major biomolecules‚ they are Carbohydrates‚ Lipids‚ Proteins‚ and Nucleic Acids and they all have different functions and characteristics to classify an organism. Carbohydrates are the most important source of energy for your body‚ this is mainly sugar. Lipids are molecules that contain hydrocarbons and make up the structure and function of living cells. Nucleic acids is an organic system present in

Excretion: Removal from organisms of toxic materials‚ the waste products of metabolism and substances in excess. 3. Respiration: Chemical reactions that break down nutrient molecules in living cells to release energy. 4. Sensitivity: The ability to detect or sense changes in the environment and to make responses. 5. Reproduction:

Most of my protein came in the form of protein shakes‚ and meat‚ my carbohydrates were from waffles or the occasional potato‚ and my lipid intake is from the meat I eat. I noticed that I consume a lot of protein‚ a moderate amount of fat‚ and not enough carbohydrates. I feel in order to meet my DRI for carbohydrates I could add more whole grains like wheat bread‚ or brown rice and that
