Glucose

Unknown 4- Sucrose     Unknown four is C12H22O11, or sucrose. Sucrose is a mixture of two sugars, glucose, and fructose. Glucose is a sugar found in blood and Fructose is a sugar found in fruit. However this substance is most commonly known as plain old sugar. Sugar is used to sweeten food, drinks and other materials. We predicted it was sugar for multiple reasons, one, it was very sticky, and two, because when burned it blew up like a marshmallow. Question- What is the substance of unknown three

Activity A, which were Monosaccharides and Dissacharides, Benedict 's reagent was used as a general test for small sugars. For detecting small sugars using Benedict 's test, two tubes with label one and label two was used. Dropped one dropperful of glucose into tube one which was the positive control. Dropped one dropperful of water into tube two for the negative control. Dropped two dropperfuls of Benedict’s reagent to each tube. Placed both tubes in the heat block for five minutes. Analyzed and recorded

System Support in Management of Diabetes (Hypoglycemia) Diabetes is a metabolic disorder in which energy cannot be obtained from the body through normal mechanisms of action. Insulin is required to assist in moving glucose across cell membranes. There are two types of diabetes. Type one, which is characterized by the pancreas no longer having the ability to make insulin, and Type two, which is characterized by the resistance of the tissue receptors of the body to insulin. Diabetes is sometimes

They need to be broken down into simple sugars (monosaccharides) then digested/absorbed. In order to do this, the small intestine produces an enzyme called lactase. What lactase does is attaches itself to the lactose molecule and breaks it down into glucose and galactose. These molecules aren’t as big or complicated so they’re easily absorbed by the small intestine and into the bloodstream. Lactose Intolerance is when the body doesn’t actually produce the lactase enzyme, so the lactose can’t be broken

be known as a complex carbohydrate or more commonly known as starchy foods. Carbohydrates are ideal energy sources for the body because it can be easily converted into glucose, which is required to carry out basic tasks or respiration. The basic building blocks of carbohydrates are monosaccharaides and these are sugars like glucose, fructose and galactose. These are ideal energy sources

carbohydrates, minerals, proteins, and lipids. Section III: 1. What is meant by “sugar”? What is a “carbohydrate”? How are “sugars” and “carbohydrates” related? Answer: Sugar- a sweet tasting carbohydrate found in living tissues and exemplified by glucose and sucrose. Carbohydrate-molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The body converts carbohydrates into sugar. 2. Janine mentioned blood sugar levels, which puzzled Mitchell. What does blood have to do with sugar? How do endocrine hormones

pancreas which allows the blood sugar cells to be able to use blood sugar. It is necessary for glucose to go from the blood to the inside of the body cells. Because of the poor insulin, glucose builds up in the bloodstream. The body is unable to use glucose for energy. When you are diagnosed with diabetes the doctor should try to stabilize the metabolism and eliminate the symptoms of high blood glucose because of the rapid onset of symptoms. The effects of diabetes are thirst, urination, vomiting

reaction to occur spontaneously. 3. If an alternative sugar, in substitute of glucose, is mixed with 2% live yeast, then there will be a high volume of CO₂ and fermentation will occur with 10% Lactose + Lactaid because they are disaccharides. Introduction

Discussion for Red Blood Cells in Hypotonic, Isotonic, and Hypertonic Solutions The ability of a solution to make water move outside and into a cell via osmosis is known as tonicity. The osmolarity is the total concentration of all the solutes that are present in a solution and is related to the tonicity. To compare the osmolarity of a cell and the extracellular fluid around it the terms hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic are used. If the extracellular fluid has a lower concentration of solute

sweetener. Once the stevia is extracted it is nearly 300 times sweeter than sugar and it contains no calories or carbohydrates and has a zero rating on the glycemic index. The glycemic index measures the amount of glucose in a particular food. The comparative value of the amount of glucose released in a three hour period is quantified into a number so calorie-conscious people or diabetics can gauge their sugar intakes. Low GI foods are either less sweet or contain more complex carbohydrates that digest
