Student’s name Professor’s name Course Date Introduction Perhaps human being is the most curious animal in the quest to dominate the world. Research or quest for gaining full knowledge of the dynamics of an entity is clear evidence that man is interested to fully utilize and dominate the world.

of carbohydrate) that has a structural role in animals and plants. In plants, cellulose is the compound that gives rigidity to the cells. The bonds between each cellulose molecule are very strong, which makes cellulose very hard to break down. Because there are so many plants in the world (think of all the flowers, trees, weeds, grasses, vines, and bushes), cellulose, which is found in every cell of every plant, is the most abundant organic compound on earth. Most animals can’t digest cellulose because it is

PROTEINS Protein is the major structural component of cell which is made up of several elements which are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen(C, H, O, N). They are essential for growth, repair and maintenance of body tissues. There are animal and non-animal food sources which are rich in proteins such as meat, fish eggs beans and lentils. When consumed, proteins are broken down by digestive system into amino acids which are sometimes referred to as building blocks of proteins. Proteins consist

affect Human Fat Mass? Abstract Research Question: How does the supplementation of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) affect human body composition? Literature Review: Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to a family of geometrical and positional isomers of linoleic acid. The predominant sources of CLA are from ruminant animal fats (cow, dairy, sheep, goat, and deer). Over the past 20 years, CLA supplementation has produced positive effects in animal studies

Desiree Schmitt 208.5.5 In humans/animals, the main cells that store fat for energy are adipocytes. These fat cells are found under the skin, in the abdominal cavity and surround major organs. The fatty tissue is the body’s main means of storing energy for long periods of time. Lipids, like triglycerides are stored in the adipocytes until ready to be used by the body for energy. Fat is broken down through metabolism in the mitochondria of the cell. The triglycerides are broken down into
