Monosaccharide

enzyme that helps with the breakdown of carbohydrates, specifically starch (Tracey et al. 2016) and works in the mouth (VanPutte et al. 2014). Salivary amylase works to hydrolyze the – 1, 4 –glycosidic linkages between the maltose and glucose monosaccharides in starch (Tracey et al. 2016).…

Metabolism Metabolism is the sum total of all the chemical reactions in the human body. Metabolism is as physical and chemical changes that take place in a human body that provide acceptable energy for life processes and the synthesis of new materials. Metabolism is like a balance between reactions. On this balance there is two sides. Breaking down and building up. Breaking down is known Catabolism. Catabolism is simply breaking down molecules for energy. The buildup part of metabolism is known…

There are different forms are sugar units, for example monosaccharides are glucose, fructose, and galactose. Question 2: Blood carries glucose to different parts of the body; the brain is dependent on glucose to function properly. If sugar level is too high in the blood it can cause problems like diabetes. The…

Problem Statement Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders affecting more women than men under the age of 50 (Lindfors, Ljótsson, Bjornsson, Abrahamsson, & Simrén, 2013). El-Salhy and Gundersen (2015) defines IBS as intermittent left lower abdominal pain/discomfort, altered bowel habits and abdominal bloating/distention. Although IBS is not known to progress into a more serious disease or cause death, it can drastically reduce…

Weight-loss programs, whether commercial or personal, are aimed at individuals looking to lose weight. Choose a weight-loss program (0.25 marks) and evaluate whether the plan offers a nutritionally sound way to lose weight using the principles of energy metabolism and energy balance (1.25 marks)(Note, you will need to explain the weight-loss program, the details of the diet promoted, how it may “manipulate” metabolism to shift energy balance, and what body region (e.g. fat, muscle, water) is…

make up a polymer. Polymers combine to make a molecule, and molecules combine to make macromolecules. Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are molecular compounds made from just three elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, usually in a ratio of 1:2:1. Monosaccharides (like glucose) are relatively small molecules. They…

In conclusion, various temperature levels do affect the glucose concentration level, of alpha-galactosidase, which is a product of Beano. The higher levels were actually found in the lower temperatures. Temperatures that were at 40, and 50 degrees Celsius had the highest glucose concentration levels at 25 minutes, which was 2.00%, while other temperatures such as 80 and 90 degrees Celsius were at 0.00% at 25 minutes, which is a major difference. However 30 and 70 degrees Celsius had a steady…

2.1. Artificial Insemination (AI) : Development of techniques for successful. .freezing of spermatozoa has progressively evolved over the. . Past 60 years (Kucuk et al., 2014). At the starting of 20th century Ivanov started studying on artificial insemination (AI) of sheep’s, where Ivanov’s .studies on extenders and reproduction resulted in the development and the practical application of AI in farm animals, reviewed by (Bohlooli et al., 2012). AI provides. .many advantages to farmers and…

hormone that indicates the liver to secrete stored sugar to the blood. Carbohydrates (simple carbohydrate and complex carbohydrate) play a major role in increasing or lowering blood glucose level. First, the simple carbohydrate which includes monosaccharides and disaccharides. Due to their simple structure, simple carbohydrates for example galactose and maltose, are easily broken down. This can cause a major health problem to the body as blood sugar level and the secretion of insulin from…

2015). The faster carbohydrates break down and raise blood sugar indicates high glycemic index and not usually preferred to be consumed as it is not good for dietary management. Sucrose is a disaccharide that consist of the chemically linked monosaccharides glucose (GI of 100) and fructose (GI of 25) and has a glycemic index (GI) of 65 which can be considered as high.( Roger Philip Aidoo,2015). (Ana, 2015) suggested that there are some natural sweeteners that can be alternative beneficial…
