Introduction An organic molecule is a molecule that contains hydrogen and carbon. They are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. The carbon bonds to other atoms through covalent bonding. They are often large, have many atoms, and are associated with living organisms. A carbohydrate is an organic molecule made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It is made in a 1:2:1 ratio. Examples of these are sugars and starches. Sugar is an immediate energy source, so if you needed energy right away you should eat something with a lot of sugar. Starch is a 12-24 hour energy source. This is good to eat the day before you have something. An example is when a team has a pasta party the night before a big game. Carbohydrates can play a structural …show more content…
If I got the wife’s throwup sample, then my results will be positive for lipids, simple sugar, and starch. These are the three organic molecules found in her meal of soda and french fries. If the sample is the Butler’s throw up after his meal of steak, then the results will be positive for lipids and proteins. The victims ate ice cream and chocolate syrup. If I get the sample of throwup that belongs to the victim, then it will contain simple sugar. If it is the best friends throwup, who ate a hamburger, then it will contain both protein and starch. The mistress only drank water that day. If the mistress was the one that threw up, there will be no organic molecules in it because water, or H20, doesn’t contain carbon, so it is not an organic …show more content…
Based on my results, the vomit belonged to the butler. I accept my hypothesis because the Butler’s sample did contain the predicted organic molecules of lipids and proteins. My results show that the Butler threw up at the crime scene. When lipids tested positive, I knew that the victim, the best friend, and the mistress would have to be eliminated as suspects for who threw up because none of the foods they ate contained lipids. I knew it had to be the butler because the wife’s meal had soda and french fries, neither of which contain protein. The negative test results for carbohydrates, both simple sugars and starches, helped me ensure that I had the correct results. The fatty part of the steak contained lipids, but the steak is meat, which is a protein. Many errors could have led to unexpected results in the lab. Human error is always a possibility. Some of the solution may not have been mixed enough, dried enough on the brown paper, or heated long enough. Also, someone may incorrectly label a color, as some people may see one color, while another sees a different color. If someone puts too much or not enough solution in the test, the color may end up completely different. All of these may have caused errors in the results, such as testing positive or negative for organic
“While Mr. Sanders was sitting there motionless, with ketchup residue on his shirt, I read the report. Let us we start with your body fat percentage. Your BMI, body mass index, reads at thirty-three percent. That means a third of your body is fat. The extensive consumption from your appealing fast foods puts your body weight is 526 pounds. Your body style in definition is obese. I know it is not genetics. Two years ago when you came in for a checkup, you were in perfect shape, but now it seems you have started a bad eating trend causing you to become obese. Mr. Sanders, do you have an explanation for yourself?”
One of nature's greatest possessions, is life, and every part of life depends on molecules. Four common molecules are Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids and Nucleic Acids. Within these molecules contains part, or all, of the four major elements, Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen, (C.H.O.N). It is an essential part of life to have these molecules or their would be no living creatures. Molecules, Atoms, and elements are all apart of the body and every creature needs them.
Our chicken sandwich has, by now, been broken down into digestible nutrients. The pancreatic juices have broken down the carbohydrates in the bread into monosaccharides (such as glucose and galactose) which leave the enterocyte by facilitated diffusion and enter the rich network of capillaries. They are transported in the blood stream and cross into the cytoplasm by Na+ cotransporters. Amino acids are moved to the circulation by facilitated diffusion. Lipids from the butter are broken down into fatty acids by lipases and are then absorbed across the cell membrane into the cytosol where they are reassembled into lipoprotein particles called chylomicrons. These are carried through lymphatic channels and into the circulation via the thoracic duct. The bloodstream carries simple sugars, glycerol, amino acids, and a number of salts and vitamins to the liver. The lymphatic system, a network of vessels that carry white blood cells and lymph fluid throughout the body, absorbs fatty acids and
What are carbohydrates? What role do they play in our bodies? The role of carbohydrates in our bodies is to provide energy, as they are the body’s main source of fuel. These biochemicals are needed for physical activity, brain function and to operate the organs. Carbohydrates can be found in dairy, fruits, grains, and in starchy vegetables. Complex carbohydrates are foods which contain vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Oat meal, brown rice, quinoa, potatoes, beans, peas, whole grains and other starchy vegetables are good examples of complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are a major source of energy for the body and can be found in fruits, fruit juices, and dairy products. While both kinds of carbohydrates use glucose as a source,
Before I was assigned this paper to test my nutrition, I would say I have only been moderately conscious of what I eat, but have never sat down and really thought about what goes into my body on a daily basis. I was taught good values when it comes to eating healthy, but like most college kids, it is easy to stray from those once away from home due to budget, time constraints, or availability. I was excited to see how I stack up in the different values and where I could improve on going forward to become a better healthy eater.
Carbohydrates make up the largest volume of daily food in the diet. Carbohydrates include sugars, starches, and dietary fiber. Carbohydrates are considered organic chemicals because they contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They are considered a macronutrient because it needs to be consumed in large amounts in a diet which make up the majority of the diet in a day. Carbohydrates are important because they are the main source of calories for a healthy diet. How do carbohydrates affect sleep? Carbohydrates provide energy for physical activity, brain function, and operation of the organs. When carbohydrates are consumed, they are converted to fuel and used as energy. There are two types of carbohydrates known as simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are sugars that are made of one or two sugar molecules and are rapidly digested. Complex carbohydrates are dietary starches and made of sugar molecules that contain fiber. They are found in whole plant foods which are high in vitamin and minerals. The glycemic index is a “relative ranking on how they affect blood glucose levels.” (University of Sydney) Foods with a low glycemic index are more slowly digested, absorbed, and metabolize so the blood glucose rises more slowly. Foods with a high glycemic index are more quickly

A group of scientists found our that the sugar association was trying to cover up the dangers of sugar. The foundation paid three scientists to state that the fat alone was responsible for high risk heart disease. The association
Carbohydrates are molecular compounds containing just three elements; carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Structural ionomers are molecules with the same molecular formula, but their atoms have different arrangements or bonds.
Complexity of compounds is the reason they must be absorbed long before the physical activity. Starch a main area of complex carbohydrates. It has several bonds. Starches are tightly bound carbon molecules and have several attaching elements. This bonding complexity is the reason starches are capable of retaining large amounts of energy. These compounds should be taken into an athlete's body prior to intense physical activity because an energy storage supply is necessary when simple compounds are completely oxidized.
For a moment, imagine you are a very health conscious person. You start the mornings off with a brewed cup of coffee, a newspaper, and your favorite cereal. As you eat, you are comforted in seeing the bold print on the packaging that reads, “Loaded with vitamins and minerals.” However, you become curious and decide to investigate the back panel of ingredients to see if it is as wholesome as it leads you to believe. The number one ingredient is enriched wheat flour. You are content as you swallow the next to last spoonful of your shredded richness. The second ingredient is honey, another that reinforces your feelings of responsible eating. Ingredients three, four, and five are foreign to you. They read soy lecithin, niacin, and high fructose corn syrup. Now the first two you have a good feeling about. Soy is a good source of protein in place of many meats and niacin must be one of those vitamins or minerals the food tycoon General Mills boasted about on the box. However, the latter of the three is what prompts you to do some research on your computer. The results yield studies and illustrations which surprise you. “From crackers to raisins, cans of soda to cans of soup, high fructose corn syrup is in virtually every list of ingredients. Even for consumers that are vigilant about steering clear of it, it’s hard not to avoid” (Mangano). As you finish your last bite of cereal it does not seem as satisfying as the first. Uncertainty is the lingering taste and you wonder what high fructose corn syrup really is, why it is in all of the foods you eat, and if it could affect your health negatively.
“Most people are surprised to learn that fat has virtues. When people consume either too much or too little fat, or too much of some kind of fat, does poor health develop.” (pg.139) I know I like to eat fatty foods. Some of my food choses contain different types of fat within. A look back at my 3 days Spread sheet actually shows me the different value my food holds. Of the things I have eaten in the allowed time frame.
During the experiment of the 50% concentration of isopropanol, the chromatography paper touched the walls of the graph. The experiment was repeated a 2nd with the 50% concentration but again the paper touch the glass walls. This is not good, because the solvent has the potential to attract to the glass. This results to inaccurate data because the pigment would be travelling towards the side of the paper and the Rf value would change.
For instance, if we look at butane, it has 4 carbon (C) atoms and 10 hydrogen (H) atoms.
