There is another accessory organ that also dumps its products into the duodenum around the same area; this organ is called pancreas. Pancreas is very important‚ as it secretes probably the most important digestive enzymes into the small intestine; break down. The main enzymes secreted by the pancreas for digestion are lipases for lipid/fat digestion‚ pancreatic amylase for carbohydrate digestion which continues the breakdown of the starch in the bread to a substance called maltose.

Eutrophication is where an influx of nutrients that are normally limiting such as nitrogen and phosphorus overwhelms an aquatic ecosystem. These nutrients allow for the rapid growth of phytoplankton (floating algae). When these organisms die‚ they undergo decomposition. In order to decompose these dead phytoplankton‚ bacteria need oxygen. As they consume oxygen‚ they create ‘dead zones‚’ or zones devoid of oxygen—and non-bacterial life. It is not the excess nutrients that directly causes the death of

When salt is in the water‚ it releases toxic metals that may kill the nutrients and the dissolved oxygen in the water that the aquatic life depend on. When there are high levels of sodium chloride in the water‚ it can also kill important food sources for the aquatic life inside the particular body of water. The chloride in the

Why Food Chemistry? I am passionate about food‚ I love discovering new food‚ experimenting with taste‚ play with colors and learn the benefits and why our body needs certain nutrients. Before coming to college I did 2 years of full healthy dishes and read all over internet and books new ways to introduce new nutrients to my diet. During this 2 years I lost weight but except for that I felt clean from the inside‚ more energetic and happier moods. Coming to college was a huge gap leaving everything

are essential for normal body function. These essential chemicals are called nutrients. You need nutrients for normal growth and development‚ for maintaining cells and tissues‚ for fuel to do physical and metabolic work‚ and for regulating the hundreds of thousands of body processes that go on inside you every second of everyday. Further‚ food must provide these nutrients; the body either cannot make these essential nutrients or cannot make enough of them (Bredbenner‚ 2011). Nutritional assessment
