Abstract Carbohydrates are the most abundant organic compounds in the plant world. They act as storehouses of chemical energy (glucose‚ starch‚ glycogen); are components of supportive structures in plants (cellulose)‚crustacean shells (chitin)‚ and connective tissues in animals (glucosaminoglycans); and are essential components of nucleic acids (D-ribose and 2-deoxy-D-ribose). Monosaccharides‚ oligosaccharides‚ and polysaccharides are theclassifications of carbohydrates. This experiment involves

The structural features of carbohydrates account for the fact that a wide variety of polysaccharides exist is pentoses and hexoses. The examples of pentose are ribose‚ deoxyribose‚ ribulose and xylulose. The examples of hexose are glucose which is found in fruits‚ fructose which is found in milk and galactose which is found in honey. Both pentoses and hexoses are mostly found in monosaccharides. They are the most simplest sugar which cannot be futher hydrolysed into smaller units. They contain

regular diet for it to be more nutritious. By reviewing my regular eating patterns‚ I realized I eat too many carbohydrates a day. The amount of carbohydrates I consumed was more than double the RDA‚ Recommended Dietary Allowance. To help reduce my carbohydrate consumption‚ I plan on eating less cereal because that has become a go-to meal for me at college. Cereal can add up in sugar and carbohydrates quickly when it is eaten as a meal or in large amounts. I also plan to eliminate the amount of bread I

Complex Carbohydrates PERSONAL SUMARY: There is a very real difference between simple and complex carbohydrates. Let’s look at them. Simple carbohydrates‚ found in rice‚ pasta‚ white potatoes‚ and some dairy products‚ contain sugars that are broken down quickly by your body. This will provide your body with a quick burst of energy‚ but if the carbohydrates are not used quickly‚ the sugar will turn to fat. That’s why low-carb diets cut them out. But those diets often lump all carbs together

The Biological Importance of Lipids Lipids are organic compounds found in all types of plant and animal cells. They always contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen‚ however the relative amount of oxygen is less than the amount of carbohydrates in lipids. Lipids are polymers and the long chains of repeating units are joined together in a condensation reaction where water is also produced. The most common types of lipids are triglycerides‚ phospholipids and waxes. Triglycerides are formed by three fatty

Carbohydrate Loading There are many threats to an athlete during physical endurance competition whether it is a marathon or the decathlon. The most common forms of these threats include hypoglycaemia‚ fatigue‚ and loss of morale (which is usually caused by hypoglycaemia and fatigue). There is one connection that can be made between these threats and that is that all are caused one way or another through the lack of carbohydrates (Peterson). The most common way to combat these threats
