Joey Chao 9/30/15 Period 6th Biology Macromolecules lab report I. Objective: What type of macromolecules are in my food? II. Background: When food is consumed, the body digests and breaks down the food particles. The food particles are broken down to macromolecules. The four macromolecules consist of carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. Carbohydrates provide energy to the body by allowing more ATP. Lipids are fat stored in the body and takes longer to breakdown to give energy to
energy is the minimum amount of energy required for any given chemical reaction to be initiated (http://www.chemguide.co.uk). The catalyst that performs within the body is a macromolecule, called an enzyme (Book). There are three categories of macromolecules including nucleic acids, carbohydrates and proteins. The macromolecule, the enzyme is classified under the protein category (http://www.austincc.edu/emeyerth/enzymes.htm). Enzymes are reaction specific meaning that they are the determinants of
INTRODUCTION Vaccines are used widely in the world. With the discovery of various vaccines mortality rate caused by various infectious organisms have reduced. Their use has been considered one of the safe and effective measures to control various infectious diseases. Plants offer enormous potential as production platforms for vaccines and therapeutic proteins. Vaccines derived from plants present an alternative to conventional vaccines by facilitating safe and effective oral delivery through intake
