Carbohydrate

Carbohydrates are biological molecules made up of organic substances such as Oxygen, Hydrogen and Carbon (Rapidlearningcenter.com 2015). They normally have a two to one hydrogen to oxygen ratio and can be classified by the empirical formula Cm (H20)n where m and n could be possibly different. Some biologists refer to carbohydrates as hydrates of carbon and they are technically correct. Alternately, there is no possible empirical formula that can describe lipids. Lipid must be identified…

being used whether fats or carbohydrates based on what it is closest to. The range is .7 (fats) to 1.0 (carbohydrates). 2. Does RER change with onset of exercise? Does RER change during steady-state over time? What does RER tell us about substrate utilization over time if workload is held constant? RER decreases with the onset of exercise. Longer moderately intense exercise means your body will usually use fats, and shorter high intensity exercises means that carbohydrates will most likely be…

Carbohydrate and fat are the other macro nutrients that provide calories. They play important roles in wound healing. Carbohydrates break down into glucose, the major fuel for collagen synthesis. Carbohydrate will still make up 50-60% of the diet. This is important since glucose is the body’s main source of energy for healing and for cell repair and for proper brain function. Some fat is also essential in every diet. Typically, the recommend amount of total fat is 30%. Unsaturated fat such as…

The process of carbohydrate absorption after consuming food happens in a variety of pathways within the body. The first step to absorption is the process of digestion. This process begins in the mouth. Here, the enzyme a-amylase breaks down the food through the saliva. The process then moves to the small intestine where the digestion products are then absorbed through the intestinal wall into the blood stream and then moved across to other body cells. This then forms glucose and the disaccharide…

cellular level digestion transpires in much more intricate detail. The human body must be supported by organic compounds that provide chemical balance. The steps and regulations of cellular digestion allow for generation of high energy products. Carbohydrates are the essential molecules needed to provide energy by facilitation of chemical reactions that release fuels for the body. The chemical compound responsible for sustaining energy is sugar. Dietary sugars exist at four chemical…

should contain 2/3 carbohydrates (including roughage), 1/6 protein, 1/6 fat, minerals, vitamins and water. Alteration of these proportions to obtain a tailored diet for whatever reasons have specific implications on an individual’s health, some more pronounced than others. This may be beneficial or pernicious as such each pro and con should be well thought and considered before deciding on a personalized diet. One such type of diet is the high fat and low carbohydrate diet. Carbohydrates are the…

After taking this class and learning about healthy eating choices, one of the bigger aspects of my diet which I need to change is the types of carbohydrates I eat. We started taking diet logs as a class I realized that my diet was extremely unhealthy and one of my main daily food choices is simple carbs and most often “bad carbs”. This change in my diet will decrease the amount of food which have a lot of added fat and increase the nutrients my body receives. I first started noticing my diet…

are called sugar alcohol. Sugar alcohol is where the substances are not sugar but are high in carbohydrates, which trick most people. Many companies now who make, cookies, gum, candy and chocolate are starting to made sugar-free foods. These foods trick many diabetics because they think they make the healthy, right choice. The sugar-free foods will still rise the blood sugar because of the carbohydrates that have been secretly put in the foods. Anahad O 'Connor, a reporter for the New York Times…

Results Subjects Eight subjects completed this study with a mean BMI of 22.18 ±2.9 kg/m2( range, 19.5-28.15),aged 22 ±1.2 year (range 21-24 year), fasting glucose concentration of high carbohydrate meal is 4.9 ±0.071 mmol ( range, 4.6-5.2 mmol) and fasting glucose concentration of high protein meal is 5.0± 0.098 mmol (range, 4.7-5.5 mmol).There is no significant differences between the two test meals in the fasting values. Metabolic response Results for plasma glucose is depicted in the…

the common foods. The organic molecule that we use for this lab are monosaccharides of sugar, protein, starch, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. Introduction Carbohydrates are the organic compounds that are organized as the ring structures and always compose the carbon, hydrogen, 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…
