Glucose

The hormones that are produced by the Pancreas are Insulin, Glucagon, Pancreatic Polypeptide, Gastrin and Secretin. Insulin allows the body to use sugar or glucose levels from carbohydrates, for energy or to store glucose levels. The cells in the Pancreas, known as beta cells are signaled to deliver the Insulin into the bloodstream. The Insulin then signals the beta cells to absorb the sugar, that has been delivered from the bloodstream. The author of endocrine web says “Insulin is often…

operation. Unlike proteins and lipids,carbohydrates is easily digested and can quickly be broken down into a component called glucose which the body needs for many different important functions. Tissues and cells in our body rely on carbohydrates, and it also plays an important role in intestinal health and waste elimination.…

pyruvate and 2 molecules of ATP. In the citric acid cycle pyruvate loses one of its three carbons and then becomes attached to coenzyme A (Upadhyaya, 2017). Fermentation on the other hand is an anaerobic process in which energy can be released from glucose even though oxygen is not available and carbon dioxide will be produced. Basically, fermentation is the production of energy in the…

temperature levels do affect the glucose concentration level, of alpha-galactosidase, which is a product of Beano. The higher levels were actually found in the lower temperatures. Temperatures that were at 40, and 50 degrees Celsius had the highest glucose concentration levels at 25 minutes, which was 2.00%, while other temperatures such as 80 and 90 degrees Celsius were at 0.00% at 25 minutes, which is a major difference. However 30 and 70 degrees Celsius had a steady glucose concentration…

down starch into glucose and that glucose then is able to permeate the membrane of the caterpillar’s intestine. Lugol’s solution is able to detect when a starch is present and, if present, turns the solution blue/black. Lugol’s solution was placed in the surrounding…

Diabetes is a group of diseases that result in too much sugar in the blood or high blood glucose. Diabetes mellitus is metabolic condition marked by insufficient uptake of glucose from the blood. The name comes from sweet urine because of the excess glucose that is filtered into the urine. This chronically high blood glucose level causes damage to the blood vessels and ultimately leads to damage of the vascular system. Diabetes mellitus is by far the most common of all endocrine (hormonal)…

metabolizes the sugar on their own therefore they are unable to break down the Lactose which is sugar that is found in milk. Lactase is an enzyme found specifically in milk sugar “Lactose”. It breaks down the lactose into monosaccharaides, galactose and glucose. The Lactase enzyme can be used to aid people with this condition. Saladin, K. (n.d.).

Boronic acids have attracted attention as an alternative receptor to enzymes for saccharide detection (e.g., glucose oxidases for glucose detection).58-60 The enzyme-based sensing has the disadvantages that, since it is based on the rate of the reaction between the enzyme and the analyte, this approach is sensitive to various factors that affect the enzyme activity and the mass transport of the analyte, it consumes the analyte, and it requires mediators; in contrast, the boronic acid-based…

indicator. Anything that deviates from the comparison of distilled water would be considered as positive control. The glucose solution did not change colour but remained yellow during the iodine test. Therefore, there is no glycogen or starch. When the benedict test occurred, the colour shifted from green to brown within minutes. Later the orange would turn into a very rose red. Glucose is supposed to be a red precipitate when detected by the benedict solution. (B.K Sur, R.K. Shukla, and V.S…

diet. It can be found in a wide range of both healthy and unhealthy foods such as bread, bean, cake, popcorn, cookies, and soft drink (Harvard.edu). The consumption of bad carbohydrate that increases your blood sugar should be limit. If the blood glucose stays high for too long, it can develop type two diabetes (womenheath.gov). In addition, carbohydrates are the most important source of metabolic energy for human body, plants, and in animals that eat plants (Bruice 2011). The human body uses…
