The experimental design for our project was to simulate the digestion of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Using a certain medication called pancreatin we tested its effects on how it was able to break down these macromolecules. pancreatin is a mixture of pancreatic enzymes that help to aid in digestion; the enzymes that are present in this mixture include amylase (breaks down carbohydrates), lipase(breaks down lipids), and protease (breaks down proteins). We had set up trials for these…

you for downloading the book, “Cycling Diet and carb Cycling”. Carb cycling is an eating plan that alternates between high carbohydrates and low carbohydrates days. This has been shown to promote weight loss and muscle growth. Carbohydrates, more than any other food group, have a large effect on how our body performs and looks. Contrary to popular belief, limiting carbohydrates intake might have a negative effect on your overall health. The cycling diet has reward meals, or reward days where…

The main substances found in all living organisms are a mix of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. Each of these substances has a different niche as a part of the body, and all of them must either come from the diet or be created using other chemicals in the body. Functions of Carbs Carbohydrates are the preferred source of energy for most of the tissues in the body, including the nervous system and the heart. Carbohydrates from the diet are converted into glucose, which can…

These molecules have essential functions like as source of energy, materials for building new body mass such as muscles, and other molecules with essential functions like hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. These biomolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nuclei acids. Biomolecules are called polymers (large molecules) which are composed of smaller molecules known as monomers. 11.1 Elements Present in Biomolecules Biomolecules are organic compounds, thus they are composed…
