Grishma Patel Chloroplast Pigments and Colored Light Absorption Summary The purpose of executing this lab was to see how different wavelengths and colors of light are absorbed by chloroplast pigments. The goal was to see the variations of light dependant reactions of photosynthesis based on different types of light. Spinach was used by grinding it with acetone and acquire the thylakoids used in the experiment. DCIP was used in this experiment as the oxidizing agent that will turn blue to clear when
Complete the Chemistry of Pectin lab exercise and then answer the following questions. 1. What is the difference between jam, jelly and fruit preserves? The three points of differentiation are the type of fruit, how it is prepared and the proportion of ingredients. Jams are made of crushed fruits which are cooked with pectin, sugar [and maybe lemon juice to change the pH and cause the jam to become more solid] until the mixture thickens to spreadable consistency. In the lab, we made jam using 500
STRUCTURE OF GLUCOSE Introduction to glucose: There are many types of carbohydrates but the most important one carbohydrate in human body is glucose (C6H12O6). Glucose is also termed as monosaccharide due to the fact that it forms one simple building block of more complicated carbohydrates like starch, glycogen, maltose, sucrose, lactose etc. It is also known as dextrose due to its occurrence in optically active dextro-rotatory isomers [1]. The name "glucose" derived from the Greek word which means
Yum! Sugar is a delicious and savory substance that is hard for almost everyone to resist, but most forms are quite unhealthy for your body. Sugars are classified as carbohydrates and is a generic term for multiple types and categories of sugar, such as simple or complex, fructose, glucose and sucrose. The first type of sugar is a simple sugar. Simple sugars are made up of one molecule, also known as monosaccharides, like fructose and glucose. An example of a monosaccharide is fructose, which
components in these beverages that play a side role with caeffine. Looking the chemistry of coffee , tea and energy drinks, besides caffiene, other the chemical composition of ingredients have been found in these drinks. Chemical composition of Coffee: It has an alkaloid which is Trigonelline which is responsible for giving aromas of sweet caramel by broken down into aromatic compounds pyridines. It has Carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins and protein It has an aliphatic acids which are :acetic
Discussion In Detail The Fate Of Pyruvate Under Different Metabolic Conditions Most organism and most of the types of cells have the similar sequence of reactions from glucose to pyruvate. Opposite to the fate of pyruvate which is variable. There are three reactions of pyruvate that are most important which are the conversion of pyruvate into ethanol, lactic acid or carbon dioxide. Firstly, pyruvate in yeast and several microorganisms will be forming ethanol in an aerobic condition. Moreover, the

Benefits of Whey Protein Now that you learned the different types of whey protein, here are some reasons why more and more people are using it. 1. Maintain a healthy weight As part of a high-protein diet, whey protein can help with weight maintenance. Based on clinical trials, high protein diets can help preserve lean body mass and keep a better body composition. Whey protein is an excellent source of high quality protein, and hence, are highly valued as part of weight management foods. Science
while ketoacidosis phenomenon that occurs when untreated diabetes and can be fatal. Nutritional ketosis or ketosis is a natural metabolic condition in people on a diet low in carbohydrates. As we have learned, the human body as a "driving" fuel can consume glucose (sugar), fatty acids and ketones. On a diet with low carbohydrate, usually up to 50 g per day, from the metabolism burning fat creates ketones. Then it is said that the body into ketosis, a diet that leads to ketosis called the ketogenic diet
class of nutrient which is carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamin, minerals and water. Moreover, each of this class have different function to human body and the insufficient of this element will human body weak and sick. In general, nutrient can be classified into six major categories: Carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamin, mineral and water (refer to Figure 1 in Appendix 1). The first type of nutrient are carbohydrate. Carbohydrate is important to human body because carbohydrate supply energy to movement
We all consume sugar in one form or another on a daily basis, the consumption of too much sugar can lead to health problems though. Artificial sweeteners a in almost any food product such as beverages, ice cream, chocolate, chewing gum, jams, yogurt and salad dressings. The first artificial sweetener, saccharin, was synthesized in 1879 and was well accepted during World Wars I and II, due to the scarceness of sugar and its low production costs. The motive for consumption, however, has shifted from
A Low Carbohydrate Diet works for weight loss When the average person embarks on a diet or fitness regimen in the aim of losing weight or building muscle mass, what they are usually instructed to do is to eat lots of protein and go on a low carbohydrate diet to accomplish either of the goals. Right there, an observer should see a red-flag: “How is it that the same dietetic suggestion for weight loss remains applicable for building muscle mass?!” We all know we need a certain amount of protein

Health care promotion is considered as the responsibility of every nurse. In order to promote health care practices nurses need to understand clearly the term “Health Promotion”. While conducting analysis it is identified that it is essential for nurses to significantly recognise that health promotion is a broader concept. For the particular purpose, it is necessary for nurses to develop distinctive skills and capabilities to reduce health care associated risks and optimise the productivity while

The basic principle for the synthesis of kestoses involves the action of invertase on sucrose. Invertase hydrolyses sucrose, producing glucose and fructose. Invertase also plays a very important role in kestose synthesis: It transfers the fructosyl residue (resulting from hydrolysis of sucrose) onto the fructose residue of sucrose (1- and 6- kestose) or the glucose residue of sucrose (neo-kestose). In this way, the respective kestoses (1, 6 and neo) are created. The method used for the synthesis
average of 126 mg. For dietary fiber, the target level is 25 g, and I only got an average of 13 g. My average distribution of calories over the two days was not very close to the target values. The target range for the percent of calories that carbohydrates contributes is 45-65% calories while I got only 35% calories. For protein, the target is 10-35% of calories. I got 17% calories from protein, so I was within the target zone for calories from protein. However, the target range for fat is 20-35%
