The major biomolecules that we know of (proteins, DNA, lipids) are actually polymers of smaller monomeric units. For example, proteins are the polymers of amino acids, which are the monomers. Answer and Explana
Describe the role and function of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and fiber to maintaining a healthy and balanced diet. Describe the substrates for gluconeogenesis. What are the products of fermentation? Describe how a polysaccharide can make its way in the form of glucose in the blood. ...
Lipid metabolism is the synthesis and degradation of lipids in cells, involving the breakdown or storage of fats for energy and the synthesis of structural and functional lipids, such as those involved in the construction of cell membranes. In animals, these fats are obtained from food or are s...
NAFLD should be suspected in any overweight person with ultrasound evidence of fatty liver, particularly if metabolic complications such as fasting hyperglycemia, raised serum lipids, and high blood pressure are present. Diagnosis of NAFLD requires exclusion of alcoholic liver disease by a lifetime, ...
lipids within liver cells. In addition, small fat droplets collect around hepatocytes in areas filled with venules, proceeding toward the portal tracts. The first form of ALD, i.e., pure AFLD, may not be a benign condition every time. In fact, when retrospectively analyzing patients with a...
In this type, bacteria use organic compounds as carbon and energy source. Carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins are commonly oxidized to form ATP and precursor molecules. There are different processes by which bacteria perform heterotrophic metabolism. Some important types are; ...
There are two primary categories of lipids: cholesterol and triglycerides. Cholesterol is further divided into two main types: Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (“bad cholesterol”) High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (“good cholesterol”) While not inherently bad, high amounts of ...
"Those who follow a whole foods plant-based diet tend to have better metabolic profiles, like improved fasting blood sugars, lower circulating blood lipids and better blood pressure, as well as a reduced risk of developing chronic illnesses," shetold "GMA". "Plus, many of the vitamins, pigme...
In vitro, the interaction between free radicals and lipids involves 3 processes: initiation, propagation, and termination. During initiation, conjugated dienes are formed through the abstraction of a hydrogen atom from a backbone methylene group of a lipid (8). This allows for the interaction of ...
Biomass can also be reversibly stored in storage proteins and lipids (e.g. in pine needles), or secondary metabolites such as tannins, terpenes etc. Because these stores can be depleted (negative biomass change), their accumulation falls outside our definition of structural growth sensu stricto....
