This sugar is called sucrose. Sucrose is a combination of glucose and fructose. Glucose and fructose combine to make sucrose in a dehydration synthesis reaction. Sugar, or sucrose, is used as an energy source by humans. Sucrose is used to sweeten foods, and provide short term energy.
Glucose is split into two molecules called pyruvate and two ATP molecules are generated per molecule of glucose as well as two molecules of NADH. Also Glucose takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. Glycolysis can occur with or without oxygen. Without oxygen it is called fermentation with oxygen it is the first stage of the cellular respiration. • What is the role of the citric acid cycle?
b. tap water-homogeneous c. blood-heterogeneous d. house paint-homogeneous 3.In a solution, which component is considered the solvent? Which is the solute? The primary ingredient in a solution is called the solvent, and the other ingredients are the solutes and are said to be dissolved in the solvent. 4.Name the solvent and solute(s) in the following solutions a. carbonated water b. apple juice c. coffee d. salt water 5.Does a solution have to involve a liquid? Explain your answer.
The specific substrate in this case that is acted by Aldolase B is fructose-1-phosphate. This is later converted into DHAP and glyceraldehyde. The product, once finished, will then enter the glycolysis cycle to form ATP (Hudon-Miller, 2012c). Role of Aldolase B in the Breakdown of Fructose Aldolase B is found mostly in the liver but can also be present at lower levels in the kidney and intestinal cells. It is involved in breaking down a simple sugar called fructose.
Esterfication Abstract: Through the process of esterification, carboxylic acid was reacted with an alcohol in order to produce an ester and water as the products. An acid called benzoic acid was reacted with an alcohol identified as ethanol. Through the use of heat and a catalyst, which in this case was sulphuric acid, an ester in the form of ethyl benzoate was produced along with water. The cherry odour comes from the ester called ethyl benzoate. Theory: The purpose of this lab is to achieve a specific odour through the process of esterification where carboxylic acid and alcohol react to produce an ester and water with the assistance of heat and a catalyst such as sulphuric acid.
C6 H12 O6 = 2C3 H6 O3 + 2ATP (lactate) This is a structure of ATP ATP contains sugar which is Ribose, a base which is Adenine and three phosphate groups. Biological systems transfer the energy in glucose to ATP because unlike glucose ATP releases its energy instantly in a single reaction and also the hydrolysis of ATP releases a small amount of energy, ideal for fuelling reactions in the body. Glucose is obtained from food; we eat pasta which is a carbohydrate which is then broken down into glucose by the digestive system. The process which breaks this down is known as catabolism, this is the breakdown of food components, breaking down
Glycolysis plus the citric acid cycle can convert the carbons of glucose to _________ , storing the energy as ATP, _____________ and ___________. * B. pyruvate, lactic acid, CO2, NADH, FADH2 2. At the end of glycolysis, each molecule of glucose has yielded 2 molecules of _______, 2 molecules of ________, and a net of 2 molecules of _________. * D. pyruvate; NADH; ATP 3. Trematol is a metabolic poison derived from the white snake root.
P2: Describe the characteristics of nutrients and their benefit to the body. Answer: Characteristics of nutrients and their benefit to the body are carbohydrates, starch and non-starch polysaccharides, sugar substitutes and sugar. Carbohydrates are one of the main types of food. Sugar and starch are main types of carbohydrates these carbohydrates provide energy for the body. Liver breaks down carbohydrates into glucose which the body uses for sugar.
When glucose polymerises to become cellulose, water is eliminated and the structure becomes: The H and OH groups are omitted for clarity. It must noted that: for bonding to occur, alternate glucose units must be inverted as shown above; this bonding produces a very linear molecule due to the geometry of the rings and the C-O-C angles. * Biomass – material produced by living organisms, mainly it is plant material though it also includes animal excreta and algae material. Cellulose is the major component of plant biomass. * Cellulose as a source of chemicals – starch, another polymer of glucose, can be used as an alternative source for petrochemical products but there is more cellulose produced in plants than starch.
Sugar Is soluble in water. Glucose and fructose are the sugar, Starch Is Insoluble in water and mostly found In rice, wheat and potato. Excess carbohydrate In the body Is stored In the liver In the form of glycogen. Cellulose maintains healthy digestive system. Fats- The fats are the compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
