Glycerol

Banana peels were combined with glycerol as a plasticizer and orange peel essential oil that served as an aroma to the plastic. The glycerol makes the edible film flexible and elastic. Banana peels starch were extracted by filtration, banana peels were pulverized and then pressed with a cloth. The essential oil from the orange peel was extracted. White pith from the inside of the orange peel was scraped. Peels were cut into 1-inch pieces and was heated them in 110- to 120-degree-Fahrenheit water…

Macromolecules Everything on Earth is made of carbon. Due to this complex molecules are formed. These complex molecules are macromolecules. Macromolecules are polymers, formed by dehydration synthesis. Dehydration Synthesis is when monomers are combines and water is removed. There are four types of macromolecules, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. Carbohydrates are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. With a structural components such as glucose and sugar.…

Cholesterol has a unique structure that includes four linked hydrocarbon rings forming the steroid structure. The hydrocarbon tail links to one end of the steroid and a hydroxyl group linked to other end. While the hydroxyl group is able to form hydrogen bonds with nearby carbonyl oxygen of phospholipid. Additionally, cholesterol is an amphipathic macromolecule because it has a water-soluble polar region that dissolves in water, but almost the entire is non-polar which does not dissolves in…

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…

The Great Metabolic Race Ben Yu People are constantly going through a wide variety of chemical pathways and reactions to help them maintain consciousness. The pathways and reactions vary depending on one’s physical state and time. The metabolism of an athlete at the start of a race, after five minutes and after forty-five minutes can be observed, as the ratio of lipids and carbohydrates vary depending on the time of the race. Due to the different energy densities and the body’s varying…

food bolus enters the stomach where the protein in the turkey and cheese are broken down by pepsin and HCI that break the protein to polypeptides. The fat within the cheese and the turkey and bread are broken down by tributyrinase to tributyrin to glycerol and fatty acids. The stomach issues for the storage, mixing and controlled emptying of food. There is a sphincter at the end of the stomach called the pyloric sphincter that controls the food from entering the small intestines. As the food…

disaccharide sucrose (table sugar). These biomolecules contain the elements C, H, and O. The primary function of carbohydrates is as the energy source. Lipids or fats and oils are composed of fatty acids and glycerol. Fats are formed when at least three fatty acid molecules combine with one glycerol molecule. Lipids contain the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus. The primary functions of lipids are for energy storage and as the main material for the cell membrane…

cellulose. The protists and prokaryotes can hydrolyze the cellulose, which the cow or termite can then use. Lipids A. Fats- A fat is made of a fatty acid and a glycerol. A fatty acid is a long carbon chain with a carboxyl group on the end. It is made up of C-H bonds. Glycerol is an alcohol. Fats are used for energy storage. Fats can store two times as much energy as polysaccharides. Animals use fat instead of starch because fats can store more energy with less space. The adipose cell humans use…

Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids are large biological molecules that play a major role in relation to the structure and function in plants and animals. These organic molecules consist of many examples and functions. Each biological molecule has a unique function and emergent properties that helps contribute to the cellular structure in both plants and animals. These biological molecules are known as macromolecules because they are large and are composed of thousands of atoms.…

ABSTRACT? As the rate of obesity in the US increases, the need for a practicable, healthy way of life is becoming more and more important. Exercise is often thought of as the key to weight loss. However, many overweight individuals don’t have the motivation or time to go biking or running for an hour every day. To overcome this problem and to help make exercise more manageable, high interval intensity exercise (HIIE) can be a practical solution. HIIE is an exercise strategy that prescribes short…
