diagram that illustrates the aE of a reaction in the presence and absence of an enzyme. A4. Explain the reactions catalyzed by enzymes in the first two steps of fructose metabolism in the liver. Fructose in the blood passes through the cell membrane into the liver cell and initiates phosphoralation with fructokinase for the metabolism of fructose. The fructokinase then uses the phosphate and produces F-1-P (fructose 1 phosphate). F-1-P is the substrate for the enzyme Aldolase B. Aldolase B takes the

Introduction : Today the problem of waste pollutants has increased due to increasing number of industries as well as urbanization. Water is polluted in large amount due to these waste pollutants. These waste products can be from different sources food waste, industrial waste, agricultural waste, urban waste etc. Waste pollutants which are obtained from these sources are usually organic materials. The process of anaerobic digestion aims on breakdown of these waste materials. "It is a complex

animals. It is the central component of the cofactors FAD and FMN, and is therefore required by all flavoproteins. As such, vitamin B2 is required for a wide variety of cellular processes. It plays a key role in energy metabolism, and for the metabolism of fats, ketone bodies, carbohydrates, and proteins. | Dairy products, bananas, popcorn, green beans, asparagus | Ariboflavinosis,Glossitis,Angular stomatitis | Vitamin B3 (Niacin or Nicotinic acid) | is an organic compound with theformula C6H5NO2

individual’s nutrient intake (Wardlaw et. al., 2011, p. 60-61). During a consecutive three-day period, protein intakes, carbohydrate intakes, lipid intakes, macronutrient intake ranges, fiber intake ranges, and dietary modifications are recorded and analyzed in iProfile. Recorded Protein, Carbohydrate, and Lipid Intakes. Macronutrients are substances needed for growth, metabolism, and for other body functions. Macronutrients are nutrients that provide calories or energy (Gary R. 1998) Good day

organized into tissues, organs and organ systems making the whole individual. This kind of complex organization is not found in non-living things. Metabolism Green plants obtain their nourishment from the environment in the form of water, carbon dioxide, and certain minerals which are utilized to synthesize carbohydrates during photosynthesis. Carbohydrates are in turn broken down during respiration and the energy thus released is used to synthesize other organic compounds like lipids, proteins, nucleic

water soluble vitamins? Complete the table below: Nutrient Function Source FOOD Thiamine – vitamin B1 Thiamine is involved in the body functions such as, the nervous system digestion, muscle cells and metabolism. It also helps the cells in the body change carbohydrates into energy; there it helps to provide energy for the body, most importantly the brain and nervous system.

bulk of the dry plant material consists of carbohydrate compounds containing the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Using the energy of sunlight in a process called photosynthesis, plants make carbohydrates in their leaves. The carbon and oxygen in carbohydrates come from carbon dioxide, which the plant absorbs from the air, and the hydrogen comes from water absorbed both through the roots and through the leaves. About 90% of the weight of carbohydrates is carbon and oxygen. Therefore, a plant

The Endomembrane System A system of interconnected membranes (also known as the cytomembrane system) that fills the cell interior and connects the cell boundary with the double membraned organelles - nucleus, plastids and mitochondria. The phospholipid bilayer forms the basis for both outer and internal membranes. Thus while the Plasma Membrane, the outer-most cell membrane is an integral component of the cell boundary, its numerous convoluted protrusions into the cell interior and its connectivity

blood absorbs them and carries them to cells throughout the body. An example of a large insoluble molecule into a small insoluble molecule, is starch which is broken down into glucose. The body breaks down the nutrients from foods and drinks into carbohydrates, fats, proteins and vitamins. The digestion process starts from the mouth when you take a bite of food. This part of digestion is called mechanical digestion. Mechanical digestion is the process of breaking down food so that they can be
