Carbohydrates

INTRODUCTION Carbohydrates- Carbohydrates are molecules containing the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio. Glucose (C6H12O6) is an example of a carbohydrate; also known as a simple sugar. Simple sugars or monosaccharides make up carbohydrates as its subunits. Some subunits or simple sugars combine with one another to form disaccharides (two simple sugars bonded) and polysaccharides (three or more simple sugars bonded) via dehydration synthesis. Many simple sugars (monosaccharides)

Introduction A carbohydrate is consumed and used in our bodies by breaking it down, and making glucose. Glucose is a sugar that our body uses to give us energy. Carbohydrates generally provide us with fiber, vitamins and minerals. There are two kinds of carbohydrates: simple and complex. We get our simple carbohydrates from foods such as milk, lactose products, fruit, and sugar. Complex carbohydrates, on the other hand, come from starches like cereal, bread, beans, potatoes, and starchy vegetables

DISCUSSION; For this experiment, the graphs above show the nutritional value for each cereal I have chosen. The graph show the carbohydrates, protein, energy, fats and sugars to see what will happen when eating the cereal for breakfast does to our body. Honey nut cheerios is a breakfast cereal is from general mills cereal company was first introduced in 1979. Honey nut cheerios have 9 grams of protein per 100 grams which is a good amount of protein for a athlete for breakfast. Put per serving size

Carbohydrate-Supplement Form and Exercise Performance Presented in the Nutrition and Athletic Performance background article are relevant disclaimers on dietary supplements and ergogenic aids, meaning performance enhancers, directed towards athletes. As stated, many sports bars and drinks contain risky ingredients; that is why reading food labels and appropriate ingestion of these products is important. Carbohydrates, often referred to as carbs, are used to make glucose. Glucose is responsible

Carbohydrates, Proteins, lipids, and nucleic Acid Lab Exercise 6 Date: 9/17/12 Bio 102-11 Purpose the purpose of this experiment was to perform test to detect the presence of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Explain the importance of a positive and a negative control in biochemical test. Use biochemical test to identify an unknown compound. Background Most organic compounds in living organisms are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids they are called macromolecules

Effect of pre-exercise carbohydrate feeding on endurance performance at High-intensity Carbohydrates are one of the main fuel sources of energy. Carbohydrates are made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Monosaccharides (glucose and fructose), disaccharides (sucrose) are referred as sugar molecules. Aerobic and anaerobic metabolism work together to provide ATP and energy for exercise (Baker et al, 2010). Skeletal muscles use fat and carbohydrate for energy. Therefore, at high exercise intensities

The percentage of energy supplied for the body’s energy needs by fats and carbohydrates varies at 0 minutes, 5 minutes and after 45 minutes of a marathon. The biochemical events that occur at these time points will be evaluated in terms of the mobilisation of fats and carbohydrates, the pathways each takes to produce energy and their yield in producing Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Fats and carbohydrates differ in their structure, energy yield and the way they are stored in the body. For these reasons

chosen scenarios, “Will eating carbohydrates (apple, cereal, toast, etc.) coupled with a protein (cheese, nuts, eggs, etc) for breakfast keep you feeling fuller longer than eating only carbohydrates for breakfast?” is a categorical truth. The human's body need protein to function; therefore, nuts, cheese, eggs can provide these proteins to help human being stay fuller longer than with fruits itself. Also fruits digest faster than protein; therefore, eating carbohydrates with protein is better than without

Carbohydrate ingestion has been shown to improve exercise performance by maintaining blood glucose concentration, increasing carbohydrate utilisation (energy obtained from carbohydrate breakdown) and sparing carbohydrates storage within the body. The latest research investigating the effects of carbohydrate mouth rinse (no ingestion needed) has opened new doors to the science of the use of carbohydrates within sports performance. However, various studies have shown different results making it make

Discussion Question 1. Draw the Fischer representations of each of the simple carbohydrates for this lab. Upload those pictures to the classroom with the IUPAC name for each of the Fischer representations you drew. Be sure to remember the R/S designation at each stereocenter. Lactose (β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)-D-glucose): Fructose(1,3,4,5,6-Pentahydroxy-2-hexanone): Dextrose(D-glucose): Maltose(2-(hydroxymethyl)-6-[4,5,6-trihydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)oxan-3-yl]oxyox ane-3,4,5-triol): Sucrose
