Disaccharide

produced by the TCA cycle and how they work with the Electron Transport Chain to produce ATP (you may use a diagram to help explain your answer). Carbohydrates Simple carbohydrates generally enter aerobic respiration at the start of glycolysis. Disaccharides are primarily hydrolysed into monomers, and then each monosaccharide enters the pathway as a reactant for one of the reactions during the time of glycolysis. The complex carbohydrates that supply energy in living organisms are glucose…

They serve as fuel and building materials. The monomer of a carbohydrate is a monosaccharide. Examples of monosaccharide are glucose and fructose. Disaccharides include lactose and sucrose. Lastly, polysaccharides consist of cellulose (plants), starch (plants), glycogen (animals), and chitin (animals and fungi). The elements its made up of are carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Carbohydrates serve as fuel for…

Brian Zhao B Format Carbohydrates Station 1 - molecular models Glucose - C6H12O6 Fructose - C6H12O6 Sucrose - C12H22O11 Station 2 - Taste Lab Work 2. Glucose - plain, almost like water Fructose - sweet, like from a fruit Galactose - slight pungent taste Maltose - bitter, bad aftertaste Sucrose - slightly sweet, almost like sugar-water Lactose - plain, again almost like water 3. Fructose was the sugar which tasted the best because it was sweet, and it tasted like an actual sugar. The other…

liquid form of intestine so that enzymes from the pancreas can digest it. The following are types of nutrients and how it’s absorbed Carbohydrates (breads, potatoes, pastry, candy, rice, pasta): Sugar and starch molecules are broken down into disaccharides called sucrose, lactose and maltose to the end-product of glucose, fructose and galactose and are absorbed mostly by active transport. The end products of fatty acids and monglycerides happens when pancreatic enzyme (lipase) found in pancreas…

There are many ways to find a diagnosis in modern medicine. One of the ways to do this is by using IV contrast in the body. The IV contrast demonstrates internal anatomy, but there are some side-effects with using this imaging tool. Diabetic patients who are taking certain medications can be harshly affected from the IV contrast going into their body. "The diabetic medication that is most known for causing bodily harm is metformin. Metformin is in the drug class biguanide, which decreases the…

everyday all over the world in such quotidian items as bread and alcoholic beverages. To grow yeast, the sun is not necessary because yeast does not photosynthesize, Instead of yeast obtaining energy to grow from the sun, it processes sugars and disaccharides to make energy, with carbon dioxide as a byproduct. While sunlight does not directly aid yeast’s growth, it does affect yeast’s respiratory oscillation, which is an activity that impacts metabolism and energy production. But how do…

Biological macromolecules are large molecules made up of smaller organic molecules. There are four classes of bio macromolecules : Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acid. For carbohydrates and proteins these smaller molecules are known as monomers. These similar or identical monomers are covalently bonded together to create a large polymer molecule. Monomers, or base units are bonded together to create larger molecules via dehydration. This involves the removal of a water molecule at…

polysaccharides. Monosaccharides - glucose, fructose and galactose - is simple carbohydrates, they are readily dissolved in water, it is important for the formation of glycogen in the liver, brain and muscle power, maintain a normal blood sugar level. Disaccharides - sucrose, lactose and maltose – have a sweet taste, the body then split them into two molecules of monosaccharides. Polysaccharides - starch, cellulose, glycogen are complex carbohydrates, unsweetened, insoluble in water. Gradually…

differentiate major types of bacteria” (Tortora, Funke, and Case 84). The two main types of bacteria are gram positive and gram negative. Their cell walls are composed of peptidoglycan. The peptidoglycan is a chain of repeating disaccharide held together by polypeptides. The disaccharide…

Macromolecules are vital to humans. They are divided into different types with different functions. Humans use carbohydrates as a main source of energy. Carbs are divided into simple, monosaccharide or disaccharide, and complex, oligosaccharide or polysaccharide. Simple carbs are easily digested and provide big amount of energy for a short period of time, while the complex carbs distribute the energy in a longer period of time. What’s more, complex carbs contain fibers which cannot be digested.…
