Lipid

For the week four of our learning journals we talked about the digestion of lipids, essential fatty acids, and some health effects of saturated fats, Trans fats, and cholesterol. Digestion of lipids starts in the mouth and goes from the mouth to the stomach then to the small intestine. In the mouth, some of the hard fats begin to melt as they reach body temperature. The salivary gland in the base of the tongue then releases an enzyme called lingual lipase. In the stomach, the churning causes fat…

good diet is consuming these two essential fatty acids, alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3 fatty acid) and linolenic acid (omega-6 fatty acid). They are indispensable for brain development, control of inflammation and blood clotting. When fats or other lipids are consumed they go undigested until they reach the small intestine. Bile is an emulsifier that breaks down these fat droplets into smaller ones so they can be synthesized easier by lipases enzyme produced in the pancreas. This process results…

the complete digestion of the chicken’s protein has taken place, the amino acids are absorbed through the small intestine lining and into the bloodstream. Lipids, which can also be found in chicken and rice, are digested and absorbed by the small intestine. Bile salts emulsify fat so that pancreatic lipase can digest it (Primal Pictures). The lipids also enter the lacteals before moving into the bloods circulation. The rice major biological structure when first consumed is a carbohydrate…

is, all energy retained for protein and lipid deposition is considered. In the case of laying hens and broiler breeders, the energy need for egg production is also computed, compartmentalized in each component (albumen, yolk, and bark). The energy requirement for birds in production can be determined by the equation below (Eq.2): Where: Pm body weight at maturity (kg); PBt is the body protein weight in time, RP and RL is the retention of protein and body lipid. 1.63 MJ, which is the energy need…

Nucleic Acid Contains genetic material, which may be double or single stranded DNA or RNA. This allows for the synthesis of viral proteins. Tail Fibres Allow the virus to attach to host cell and move. Lipid Envelope (Dervied from host cell membrane) Fuses with the host's membrane, allowing the capside and viral genome to enter and infect the host. Capsomere Repeating protein unit, which makes up the protein coat. In order for a virus to infect a cell…

Sarah Diaz Dr. Basu Bio 572 My Favorite gene One of my favorite genes that I have had the pleasure of working with is known as PROMININ-1, or PROM-1. One of the reasons why it exists as my favorite gene, is because the research lab that I am interning at studies this gene and its role in a very well known and unfortunate disease, biliary atresia. It also is one my favorites due to the fact that it has a lot of potential applications in studying other diseases or further research. These…

1L of distilled water, 50ml of detergent and 7.5 grams of salt. The solution was headed to 60° Celsius and maintained through the lab. The nuclear membrane is made up of phospholipid bilayer, a thin membrane made up of two-lipid bilayer. The soap detergent dissolves the lipid bilayer on the nucleus and cell membrane releasing DNA. NaCl is used to separate proteins from the DNA. Na= molecules are attracted to the negatively charged phosphate group PO3- causing them to bind together. This…

HUMAN DIGESTIVE SYSTEM 1.0 Introduction Humans need to obtain nutrients by taking in different kinds of food. The food we eat needs to be broken down into simple, soluble forms before it can be absorbed by our body. The human digestive system has many process. It contains different stages and works in different organs. It starts at the oral cavity and ends at the anus. The digestive system involves five main processes in the digestive system; ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation and…

INTRODUCTION Amaranth is a pseudo cereal which is a good source of dietary nutrients. For innovating new product by using the grains of amaranth, which will increases the utilization. Leaves of amaranth plants are used as leafy vegetable, in other hand seeds as cereals (Saunders and Becker 1984). Amaranth is rich in high quality protein. Some studies say that because of the presence of the presence of calcium, phosphorous, potassium, iron etc it is also having neautracitical property. It also…

For example gases can be easily diffused into the lipid bilayer such as when the body inhales oxygen (O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) when exhaling, this process allows the concentration of oxygen to gradually reduce throughout the body. The molecules will move around the body from higher to lower concentration…
