Galactose

severity of these symptoms is directly proportional a person’s lactose intolerance, and the amount of lactose they consume. What is Lactose and How is it Used? Lactose is a disccharide only found in milk, which is metabolized into the monosaccharides galactose, and later into glucose. This is then used for cell energy or stored as glycogen (Nutrients Review, 2016). lactose also assists in the uptake of calcium, an essential nutrient, which is a secondary constituent of milk. Perhaps this is…

which metabolizes the sugar on their own therefore they are unable to break down the Lactose which is sugar that is found in milk. Lactase is an enzyme found specifically in milk sugar “Lactose”. It breaks down the lactose into monosaccharaides, galactose and glucose. The Lactase enzyme can be used to aid people with this condition. Saladin, K. (n.d.).

Lipids: Lipids have a hydrophobic nature because of the predominantly of hydrocarbon chains in their structure. They are insoluble or poorly soluble in water, but readily soluble in non polar solvents such as ether and benzene. Characteristics of Lipids:  Amphiphatic  Naturally occurring  Soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water  Undergo saponification  Undergo emulsification Classification and biological functions of Lipids: • Fatty Acids:  Energy sources  Biosynthetic…

The molecule Lactose has the biological function of being used as energy in the body, like a carbohydrate. When you consume it, you break it down into glucose then galactose. You use enzymes to break it into these two parts, which releases energy throughout the body. You can use other carbohydrates without an ill effect, therefore you don’t really need to use lactose. The common name is Lactose, the IUPAC name is β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)-D-glucose. Its formula is C12H22O11. The etymology of…

lactose tolerant and 13 of the participants were inconclusive. Only 2 of the participants were diagnosed as lactose intolerant. 5 participants had less than 1.1 mmol/l in blood glucose, but oppositely their blood galactose was high. 8 participants had less than 0.3 mmol/l in blood galactose, but oppositely their blood glucose was high. For the 10 participants who did the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, there was no sign of low lactase activity in the biopsy sample that was taken. The results…

3.1. Chemical composition and monosaccharide analysis Polysaccharide molecules are linked together by water molecules through hydrogen bonds in an aqueous solution. Adding ethanol into aqueous solution of polysaccharide initially dehydrate polysaccharides, enhance intra-molecular hydrogen bonding, cause conformational change and aggregation of polysaccharide molecules, and eventually leads to the precipitation of macromolecular chains, and the following addition of alcohol solvent gradually…

Carbohydrates are macronutrients which can be found in all types of food. A carbohydrate molecule contains carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen (Yacoub, n.d.). When found in food, carbohydrates can be starch, sugar, and fiber. Carbohydrates can either have simple or complex 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…

Which of the formed elements would increase after the donation of a pint of blood and why? As reticulocytes (immature red blood cells having no nucleus, but containing a granular/reticulated look) increases additional numbers of immature red blood cells gather into the blood stream compensating for the decrease in the volume of blood. Reticulocyte is made up of eighty percent of a normal red blood cell’s hemoglobin and typically is expected to become a fully mature red blood cell within 24 hours…

“Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down in a most delightful way, “ sand Mary Poppins. Well, of course it does! What better way to mask the bitter taste of medicine then lace it with sweetness. However, the problem is the average person in the US consumes way more that the 50g of sugar per day recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). A 2014 study conducted by the WHO concluded that the average US citizen consumes more than 126 grams of sugar per day. A sugar laden diet…

are simple sugars that can be broken down and digested by the body very rapidly, it is made of very little vitamins and minerals. Simple carbohydrates are organized in to two categories, disaccharieds and monosaccharides. Glucose, fructose, and galactose are the energy source of cells in our body and are the base form carbohydrates called monosaccharides. but when two monosaccharides are treated together it is called disaccharides. Examples of simple carbs are table sugar, honey, molasses,…
