group, that is called a molecule. There are four major elements of life that an atom can be made of, and those special elements are; carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen. All mushed together their first letters form the scientific term C H O N. Different atoms make up different molecules for example, a water molecule is made up of an oxygen atom and a hydrogen atom. Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids are the four major molecules. These major four can be found in all sorts of foods and mostly
Olivia Isaacs C127 23 October 2014 Chemical Structure of Milk Objective: In this experiment, milk is separated into its different chemical components and qualitative tests are used to determine what the components are composed of and to determine the chemical structures. Introduction: Milk is composed of protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Proteins consist of balanced negative and positive charges, which allow it to be soluble in milk. By adding an acid to the milk, the solubility
There are four main classes of organic compounds: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Organic compounds are covalently bonded compounds that are primarily composed of carbon atoms (excluding oxides and carbonates). These four classes of organic compounds are vital to the life processes of all living things. One of the main organic compounds are carbohydrates. Some carbohydrates are a source of energy and others are used as structural materials for living things. Carbohydrates are composed
100 milliliters of mature breast milk contain approximately; 70 calories, 89.97 grams of water, 7.4 grams of carbohydrates, 4.2 grams of fat, and 1.3 grams of protein.2 When the mother first have her child, her breast produce colostrum which is a yellowish fluid that contains antibodies and immune system cells that can be absorbed by the infant’s immature digestive
The Five Major Compounds That Make Up the Human Body The human body is one of the most complex and fascinating things on this planet. There are five major groups of compounds that compose the human body. These are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleotides, and water. These compounds are all very important to humans and without them humans would not be able to survive. Compounds have many functions that encourage a human cell and a human body to function. Compounds are pure substances
The Four Major-macromolecules and their roles in the Cell Cycle All organisms have biological macromolecules that they cannot live without. In order to fully understand them, we categorize them into four major classes: carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. One or more of these molecules are used in every biological process of life, including the cell cycle. Though different parts of the cell cycle rely on one or more of the four major macromolecules, they are all involved in fulfilling
discover the order of the three major components of a single nucleotide (phosphate-sugar-base); the first to discover the carbohydrate component of RNA (ribose); the first to discover the carbohydrate component of DNA (deoxyribose); and the first to correctly identify the way RNA and DNA molecules are put together.
12. The formula C6H12O6 means __________. (p. 46) The formula C6H12O6 means that there are 6 carbon, 12 hydrogen, and 6 oxygen atoms. 13. Three major types of chemical reactions are __________, __________, and __________. (p. 47) Three major types of chemical reaction are the ionic bond, covalent bond, and hydrogen bond. 14. Explain what a reversible reaction is. (pg. 47) A reversible reaction is a chemical reaction in which the products react, reforming the reactants. The end product (or products)
usually credited to Matthias Schleiden and Theodore Schwann, though many others, such as Rudolf Virchow, contributed to the Cell Theory. The Cell Theory is the main source of explaining the source of cells, as well as their use as to why they are components to
Too much or too little water and/or salt in our bodies is dangerous. Therefore the amount of water and salt excreted in urine and the amount of urine excreted is adjusted to meet the needs of the body. 3) Identify four factors that influence the bioavailability of minerals from food. Food supplies us with many minerals, but the way in which our bodies are able to absorb them varies. The degree to which ingested nutrient is absorbed from food sources and is available
