Answer:

NUCLEIC ACIDS

Explanation:

Four biomolecules are found in living systems and they are responsible for every process undergone by cells of living organisms. Nucleic acid is one of the four biomolecules, which is the precursor of another biomolecule called PROTEIN.

DNA and RNA are the two nucleic acids which contains segments called GENES that encodes the information needed for the synthesis of proteins and transfer of this information to offsprings. Genes found on nucleic acid biomolecules undergo expression to produce proteins. ENZYMES are proteinous molecules that catalyse biochemical reactions in living systems.

From the explanation above, this means that ENZYMES that catalyze reactions like breaking down amino acids are PROTEINS, which in turn are made from GENES carried by NUCLEIC ACID biomolecules.

Therefore, NUCLEIC ACIDS determine whether an individual inherits the inability to produce the enzyme needed to break down the amino acids

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer: Coenzymes

Explanation:

Coenzymes are the small organic molecules that are often derived from the vitamins. It can be tightly or loosely bond to the enzymes.

Tighly bond ones are the prothestic groups and loosely bond ones are coenzymes like the products and substrate which binds to the enzyme and get released from it.

This component is very important for any reaction to take place. It bonds to the enzymes and helps in product formation.

Hello,

Please find below a short summary on the subject you have been assigned. This will help you in completing your project and also give you an overview on the current research on this subject.

Food additives are chemical substances added to food in order to either maintain or improve its physical characteristics such as taste, texture, appearance and even freshness.

The long term effects that these substances have on the human body are still largely unstudied. According to the hypothesis called "chemical obesogen", these synthetic compounds are contributing factors to the global obesity epidemic.

Although evidence-based scientific research is still lacking, the support for this hypothesis is growing as many of these additives have been found to disturb the body's endocrine functions.

Furthermore, artificial preservatives used today may increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease. This has been shown by a study on mice in which the food additives known as emulsifiers (carboxymethylcellulose and polysorbate-80) have been shown to affect the animal's health.

Due to these chemicals, the mice not only became obese but also developed metabolic problems such as glucose intolerance.  It seems that these chemicals affect the gut bacteria population in a negative way, as mice lacking gut bacteria did not become ill.

The mice study was followed by another study in which the human simulated through a series of flasks. Under the influence of the emulsifiers arboxymethylcellulose (E566 on EU labels) and polysorbate-80 (E433), the levels of bacterial protein called flagellin increased. This protein is known to cause inflammation at high concentrations. The next step in the study will be the first human trials.

Due to the long road our food takes from the farm to our table more extensive research is required. There are thousands of compounds that change the biochemical properties of the plants and animals that constitute our diet. The effects of the degradation and accumulation of these compounds are still unknown and thus many more studies and approaches are required in order to insure healthy food and stop the current obesity epidemic. Everything that is added to our food should be carefully analyzed.
