The Effect of Beverage on Glucose Concentration after the Addition of Invertase Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to determine which common beverage (apple juice, orange juice, Gatorade, milk, or Coca-Cola) would result in the highest glucose concentration after the addition of invertase, an enzyme that emulates a bodily enzyme called sucrase. Both sucrose and invertase break down sucrose into simpler carbohydrates that can easily be absorbed into the human bloodstream. Applied to a real-life situation, this experiment identifies which beverage would get more glucose into the bloodstream of a diabetic going into hypoglycemic shock. The hypothesis was that Coke would result in the highest glucose concentration after the addition of invertase as it has the highest initial concentration of sucrose, the main sugar that is broken down by invertase and sucrase. A tablespoon of each drink was poured in a cup and its glucose concentration was determined before and after the addition of invertase with glucose test strips that were dipped into the cups.
3 eight ounce cup of coffee a day is considered “average or moderate”. 3. Effects of caffeine on self personally depend on a number of factors. A. weight, general health, mood and personal sensitivity to caffeine. Conclusion: You can see that caffeine can have both positive and negative effects on our health and well-being but the bottom line is that if you drink your coffee or sodas in moderation, you don’t have to worry too
Caffeine Content of Common Foods and Drugs Espresso 120 mg per 2 oz Coffee, regular, brewed 103 mg per cup Instant coffee 57 mg per cup Coffee, decaffeinated 2 to 4 mg per cup Tea 30 to 75 mg per cup Cocoa 5 to 40 mg per cup Milk Chocolate 6 mg per oz Baking Chocolate 35 mg per oz Coca-Cola, Classic 46 mg per 12 oz Jolt Cola 72 mg per 12 oz Anacin, Bromo-Seltzer, Midol 32mg per pill Excedrin, Extra Strength 65 mg per pill Dexatrim, Dietac, Vivarin 200 mg per pill Dristan 16 mg per pill No-Doz 100mg per pill Caffeine belongs to a large class of compounds known as alkaloids. These are of plant origin, contain basic nitrogen, often have a bitter taste and complex structure, and usually have physiological activity. Their names usually end in “ine”; many are quite familiar by name if not
Then measure the final mass of the fuel using a mass scale. Record all the results. Repeat all the steps again, but change fuel (Cheetos, half a cashew nut, wax candle and ethanol) every three trials. Data Collection and Processing: Fuel | Trials | Mass H2O (ml) ±1 | Change in Water Temperature (°C) | Mass Loss of Fuel (g) ±0.02 | Energy Produced (J) | Energy Produced per grams (J/g) | Cashew | T1 | 200 | 5 | 0.31 | 4180 | 13483.87

The CYP1A2 gene has two different variations that parents can pass down through the generations; the first variation is CYP1A2*1A which allows people to metabolize caffeine faster, and CYP1A2*1F which allows people to metabolize caffeine slower (Faber, K. 2013). The copy with the 1F variation is dominant, making the 1A variation recessive. Not only are the variants of the CYP1A2 genes able to determine how quickly caffeine gets metabolized in the body, but are able to determine whether or not a person will have a caffeine dependency. People who have a higher rate of metabolizing caffeine will often need to consume more to keep the desired effects, whereas other people do not (Schenkman, L. 2011). On average, people with the high consumption variation of the gene will consume 40mg more caffeine per day than someone with the lower consumption variation.
LABORATORY REPORT Activity: Name: Instructor: Date: Blood Glucose Regulation Tera Deal Termos 09.20.2014 Predictions Plasma glucose levels will be highest 1-3 hours after the meal Plasma ketone levels will be highest immediately after the meal (0 hr) Plasma insulin levels will be highest 1-3 hours after the meal Plasma glucagon levels will be highest before the meal (fasting) Materials and Methods Dependent Variable plasma levels of glucose, ketones, insulin, and glucagon Independent Variable food and beverage intake Controlled Variables physical activity, caffeine and alcohol intake, gender, age, BMI 4. Why were physical activity and caffeine and alcohol intake the controlled variables? Caffeine and alcohol intake can be controlled as we as the amount of physical activity. 5. What type of assay was used to measure plasma glucose and ketone levels?
The amount of caffeine in most 250 ml sized cans of energy drinks is 80 mg, which is less than a typical cup of coffee. Health Canada says that most healthy adults can safely consume up to 400 mg of caffeine in a day. However, the amount of caffeine in energy drink is more than what is recommended for children. Health Canada says that children under 12 years of age should have much less than 85 mg of caffeine a day. What this means is that one energy drink can easily put children over their caffeine limits.
Rockstar Citrus Punched has 240 mg 5. A caffeine tablet contains as much caffeine as one to three 5-ounce cups of coffee. (These amounts are very high but what is it doing to our bodies let’s take a look) II. Initial trials showing caffeine's association with many health concerns: A. . From your heart issues: (most importantly) 1.
I also then timed the laps each student swam, to see whether the energy drink improved their performance or not. The energy drinks used in this experiment were monster, red bull, Lucozade and coffee. In monster (250 ml) there is
