Carbohydrates and Their Functions in the Body

Biology
1 answer:
zhenek [66]4 years ago
8 0

Answer: Macronutrient--glycogen--galactose--maltose--branched--staight--fibre--glycolysis--protein

Explanation:

1. Carbohydrates are a -------Macronutrient------- whose primary function it to provide energy to the body. All digestible forms of carbohydrates provide 4 calories/g of energy. Fiber, starch, and --------glycogen------- are complex carbohydrates, while glucose, fructose, and sucrose are simple carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates can be monosaccharides,

like glucose and --------galactose------------ or disaccharides, like lactose and -------maltose-------- . Complex carbohydrates include polysaccharides. Starch consists of chains of glucose molecules. Some starch chains are -------branched------- and harder to digest. Other starch is much easier to digest and has ----straight---------- chains. Dietary -----fibre----- consists of soluble and insoluble types, which both possess important benefits like reducing the risk of constipation, heart disease, and obesity. Soluble fiber also helps reduce the risk of diabetes. Glycogen is a highly branched polysaccharide created by a process called -------glycogenesis-------- and is stored in the liver and muscles for later use. Carbohydrates in the diet are said to spare ------proteins-------- from being used to provide for fuel for cells.

Carbonhydrate are polyhydroxyl aldehyde or ketones.they are usually monossacharides, dissaccharides or polysaccharide.

Carbonhydrate are a good source of energy in the diet of man.

Monossacharides are the building blocks of monossacharides and polysaccharide.maintanance of blood sugar level is ensured by insulin,which converts excess sugar to forms in which they can be stored

el electrophoresis is normally set up with the negative electrode at the top of the gel and the positive electrode at the bottom
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The DNA will still move towards the positive electrode

Explanation:

Gel electrophoresis is a technique which is used by the molecular biologist to separate the fragments of DNA. In the procedure, a DNA sample of a particular concentration of DNA sample composed of a particular length of DNA is loaded into the samples.

The gel is usually set up with the positive electrode at the bottom and negative at the top which by mistake when placed at the bottom and positive at the top.

The DNA will still move from the DNA wells towards the positive side as the DNA moves in the gel as the DNA posses negative charge due to phosphate groups they have and therefore move towards the positive electrode (opposite charge always).

Thus, the DNA will still move towards the positive electrode is correct.

Flauer [41]

Answer:

Treating a sick mango for fungal diseases involves using a fungicide. All susceptible parts of the tree should be thoroughly coated with the fungicide before infection occurs. If applied when the tree is already infected, the fungicide will have no effect. Fungicide sprays need to be reapplied on new growth.
