Introduction Nutrients are the substances that provide nourishments to the body for it to grow strong and maintain life. Carbohydrates (CHO) Carbohydrates are made of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ and oxygen. Carbohydrates are macro-nutrient that provides energy for the body; the energy gives our cell which helps our oxygen and nutrients to function when we sleep. 1. Different Types There are two types of carbohydrates‚ the simple and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates These are made up

Review Branched-chain Ketoaciduria (Maple Syrup Urine Disease)‚ and Its Effect on the Breakdown of Amino Acids in the Human Body David Holkesvik INTRODUCTION: Branched-chain ketoaciduria‚ more commonly known as Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is a metabolic disorder that causes toxic buildup of un-broken down branched-chain amino acids or ketoacids. Passed on autosomal recessively‚ mutations in specific genes hinder or stop the enzyme complex responsible for normal breakdown of three

important role in our body. They store and provide energy‚ insulate and protect our organs‚ and act as messengers‚ helping protein do their jobs. They start chemical reactions that help our immune system‚ reproduction and other aspects of basic metabolism. (Dutchen‚ 2010) What is important to remember is there are two different kinds of fatty acids‚ saturated and unsaturated. Sometimes referred to as the bad fat and the good fat. Saturated fats are made of fatty acids that do not have any double

Mitochondrion (plural‚ mitochondria)‚ is found in nearly all eukaryotes. Plants‚ animals‚ fungi‚ and protists all have mitochondria. Mitochondria are large enough to be observed with a light microscope and were first discovered in the 1800s. For many years after their discovery‚ mitochondria were commonly believed to transmit hereditary information. It was not until the mid-1950s when a method for isolating the organelles intact was developed that the modern understanding of mitochondrial function

Function Lab Introduction The purpose of this lab report was to test and measure the rate of substrate destruction by an enzyme‚ we tested the destruction of hydrogen peroxide by the enzyme catalase. Hydrogen peroxide is a poisonous by product of metabolism that can damage cells if it is not removed. Catalase is an enzyme that speeds up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas. H2O2 + catalase → H2O + O2 A catalyst is a substance that lowers the activation energy required for

Ergogenic aids are substances or devices that enhance energy production‚ for use for recovery and provide athletes with a competitive advantage. Numerous ergogenic aids claim to enhance sports performance and are used by amateur and professional athletes. Approximately 50 percent of the general population has reported taking some form of dietary supplements‚ while 76 to 100 percent of athletes in some sports are reported to use them. Physicians can evaluate these products by examining four factors

rise.) 8. Observe dough to see which one raised best Expected results The dough that is placed in the cupboard is more likely to give the best result. This is so because yeast works best in warm environments. The warmth enhances the yeast’s metabolism and causes it to work faster at raising the dough; one enzyme goes to work on the flour‚ changing the starch in it into sugar. Another enzyme then takes over and changes the sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The refrigerated dough would have
