Blood glucose monitoring

important part in preventing our bodies to have an energy imbalance. Insulin talks to the body, the muscles, organs and tissues to use the glucose against the carbohydrates. The insulin is secreted in response to a carbohydrate called glucose. Glucose is mostly in starches, grains, and sugars. As cells become insulin resistant, the insulin is required to control blood glucose. Second, our hypothesis, eat less and exercise more, is faulty. Then so is the advice that everyone believes about how to…

Table sugar is a type of simple sugar. Simple sugars include glucose, fructose, and galactose(Ancira). These sugars are quickly digested and become fat extremely quickly. This is because the digestion system can break them down extremely fast. The simple sugars are also lacking disaccharides like fiber and starch which…

commonly developed over time with poor diet and exercise. Type 1 injects insulin medicine because their body stops producing the natural insulin, substitute of a hormone form the pancreas, to control blood sugar. Type 2 is where the body still produces insulin naturally, but not enough to help control blood sugar. Some Type 2 to diabetics take insulin, but most start taking insulin until seven years after diagnosed. 95% of the people who do have diabetes, have Type 2. Food is taken…

and oxygen atoms that represent by the structure of H2O. The carbohydrates are important of the basic molecules that involved in the structural in the energy metabolism. It is also performing the important body functions such as regulation of blood glucose and providing of energy for the human body. They also spare the protein for energy…

forms. For example, glucose, a sugar, is a monosaccharide; these are carbohydrates in their simplest form (Timberlake, 2006). When only a few of these monosaccharide are linked together, they create oligosachharides. If many of the monosaccharides are bonded, they create polysaccharides. These are considered complex carbohydrates. A polysaccharide which is made up of amylose and amylopectin would be starch (Timberlake, 2006). This type of polysaccharide contains many glucose units…

indicator. Anything that deviates from the comparison of distilled water would be considered as positive control. The glucose solution did not change colour but remained yellow during the iodine test. Therefore, there is no glycogen or starch. When the benedict test occurred, the colour shifted from green to brown within minutes. Later the orange would turn into a very rose red. Glucose is supposed to be a red precipitate when detected by the benedict solution. (B.K Sur, R.K. Shukla, and V.S…

The Effect of Cellular Respiration at Low and High Temperatures Introduction Cellular respiration can include two processes, aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. The main purpose of cellular respiration is to breakdown sugars into smaller structures so that the cell can use it as energy (Reece, et al. 2014). The main concept of the respiration lab is aerobic respiration. This is the process that organic compounds will be degraded from oxygen to produce water, carbon dioxides, and…

The question my group tried to answer was “Which protein solution contained protein, starch, and sugar, and if so how much?” The protein supplements we had were supplments 4 (Kroger Whey & Soy Protein- Vanilla),6 (Vega Protein and Greens) ,and 8 (Pure Protein Natural Whey Protein). We also had 3 reagents (Biuret’s, Lugol’s ,and Benedict’s). We had two different experiments, the first experiment was to get qualitative data. The second was to get quantitative date. The first experiment we tested…

(succinate dehydrogenase). Because the enzyme and FAD are a part of the same complex, initiating succinate oxidation, this reaction reduces FAD to FADH2. Thus the oxidation of succinate to furmarate. Anaerobic Respiration: If a solution of yeast and glucose is combined and placed in different incubation temperatures, then the amount of gas that is released from the test tube will increase with temperature. This is because the “Kinetic Theory” explains that the extent of a molecules movement…

Introduction: There are five main nutrients in food: 1. Protein 2. Carbohydrates 3. Lipids 4. Minerals 5. Vitamins Nutrients are part of a nutritious diet. It is important when trying to live a healthy lifestyle to get the correct balance of nutrients to say healthy. Nutrients are needed to build up and repair body tissue and cells that may become damaged or weakened. They help to maintain our vital organs and help keep our bones in working condition which helps strengthen us. Nutrients help…
