to moderately simple one. Ketosis means that the body has gone from using carbohydrates as its source of fuel to fats-almost exclusively. But it’s a little more involved than that. Ketosis starts when there aren’t enough carbohydrates in the blood stream to refill glycogen stores in your liver. What is glycogen? The liver makes glycogen from carbohydrates as a kind of quick food source for the body. A lack of carbohydrates means the body needs an alternate food source. So the body uses fat‚

discussion will also include major subtypes of molecules. The four Major biological molecules are Carbohydrates‚ Lipids‚ Proteins‚ nucleic acids. Carb is an abbreviation for carbohydrates. The body breaks down carbohydrates into simple sugars. Carbohydrates are easily used for energy by the body. The nervous system and brain need the glucose formed from breakdown of carbohydrates. If carbohydrates are not available‚ the body burns lipids/fats for energy. Lipids is the scientific name for fats

The Great Metabolic Race Metabolism comprises of a vital set of biochemical reactions that all living organisms require to sustain life. For a marathon runner‚ their physiological response to strenuous exercise depletes both their fats and carbohydrate storage in order to supply energy in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the energy form that the human body uses for biological processes such as movement and synthesis of biomacromolecules. In regards to running a marathon‚ the athlete

Purpose: I want to persuade my audience that sugar is a dangerous drug that is damaging America?s health. Thesis Statement: We need to know why we are addicted to sugar‚ how can stop the addiction‚ and the positive effects kicking the sugar habit will have on our lives. Attention: Are you a sugarholic? Do you eat refined sugar everyday? Can you go more than one day without eating some type of sugar containing food? Have you ever hidden candy in your home in an effort not to share them with anyone
