(reg) • BGL 16mmols/L • Urinalysis; glucose present Question 1 What is the normal range of BGL (Blood Glucose Level)? (1 mark) The normal range of BGL for most of the healthy individuals when fasting is between 4.0 to 6.0 mmol/L and up to 7.8 mmol/L approximately 2 hours after eating (Morris 2014). Question 2 Explain the role of glucagon in approx. 25 words (2 marks) Glucagon signifies “the liver and muscles to turn glycogen into glucose and release glucose back into the bloodstream” (Morris 2014)
recorded in the table below. Cleaned out the 5 test tubes. Data: Iodine Test Results Discussion: The iodine test was successful. Potato juice and starch were the only two substances containing starch. Again, glucose and onion juice contains glucose, while water doesn't contain starch or glucose and was just tested to make sure the test was done properly. SUDAN III TEST Introduction: Sudan III test detects the hydrocarbon groups that are remaining in the molecule. Due to the fact that the hydrocarbon
person’s ability to handle a certain load of glucose, thus it is important that they have not eating anything that will interfere with the results. Initially, a fasting glucose blood tested is performed. If an individual has high resting blood glucose level, it indicates that their body is unable to produces insulin to regulate normal level of blood glucose. After administrating a small glucose dose, it takes approximately 2 hours for blood glucose levels to return to normal, and much longer to
added onion juice up to the 1 cm mark of the first test tube, potato juice to the 1 cm mark of the second, deionized water up to the 1 cm mark of the third, glucose solution to the 1 cm mark of the fourth, and the starch solution to the 1 cm mark of the fifth test tube. 3. Used the last barrel pipette, added Benedict's Reagent to the 3 cm mark of all 5 test
known that yeast can ferment sugars such as glucose, sucralose, fructose, saccharin, and maltose but not ferment Truvia, starch, and lactose as efficiently. Simple sugars are known as monosaccharides whereas complex sugars are polysaccharides because they are made up of monosaccharides through dehydration reactions. A dehydration reaction occurs when a water molecule is removed from the reacting molecule and the two molecules become covalently bonded. Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides whereas
When Benedict’s reagent was added to the glucose solution it turned to a dark orange-red, indicating a high sugar concentration. Next we added Benedict’s reagent to the starch solution which remained blue, indicating no sugar presence. The onion juice also turned a red-orange color as a reaction
the most carbohydrate catabolism which means breaking down larger molecules into smaller types. The whole point of glycolysis is really to produce energy for the cell; therefore the first step of respiration is glycolysis. Glycolysis breaks down glucose and forms pyruvate with the production of two molecules of ATP. If oxygen is present than pyruvate cannot be used in anaerobic respiration, so glycolysis only occurs under aerobic conditions. Aerobic respiration requires the presence of oxygen while
1. Describe how you have collaborated as part of a multidisciplinary team in order to diagnose this patient’s condition? How have you contributed to the effective working of this team? (4 marks) In the practical I was on the clinical biochemistry bench. My role was to carry out the cholesterol test for Mr Smith. The results for the cholesterol test were essential in the diagnosis as it could indicate whether Mr Smith was at risk of heart disease. Throughout the practical all students worked together
two hormones are responsible for the control of glucose levels in the blood. The process ensures that there is a constant supply of glucose to the cells to perform various functions in the body consistently (Unger, Anna & Leonard 1031). The experiment compares the glucose concentration in the mesenteric arteries, the hepatic vein, and the hepatic portal vein before and after food consumption to establish the implication of the two hormones on the glucose levels. Mesenteric arteries carry
The Interaction of Glucose and Exercise The objective of this study was to see whether or not exercise has an influence on glucose levels; If it does, then how much does it affect the levels? What is the reason that outcome came about? These are just some of the questions that this study hoped to provoke and shed some light on. Before beginning the experiment, a literature review was conducted in order to gain familiarity with the topic and to build an expectation for the outcome. Several studies
