(Btw, most veggies are not simple carbohydrates, and neither are many of the things we think of as fruits.)

Betty asks…

What additional nutrients are found in foods that contain complex carbohydrates?

admin answers:

I don’t understand the question. Complex carbs are just carbs. They simply take a little longer to digest than simple carbs. They both turn to sugar in your system, giving you an energy boost along with a spike in your blood sugar. But the fact that they’re carbs doesn’t change the vitamins/minerals they contain.

Mandy asks…

what would be in regular brownies?

we are learning about carbohydrates, lipids,sugar and starch.
and i know how brownies have sugar for sure. but does it have lipids,sugar and starch?

lipid-fat
starch-a complex carbohydrate found chiefly in seeds, fruits, tubers, roots and stem pith of plants, notably in corn, potatoes, wheat, and rice
sugar- a white crystalline carbohydrate used as a sweetener and preservative
carbohydrates- A sugar, starch, or cellulose that is a food source of energy for an animal or plant; a saccharide

admin answers:

Here’s a pretty standard recipe for brownies:

1/2 cup butter (LIPID)
1 cup white sugar (SUGAR)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (CARB – STARCH)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

3 tablespoons butter, softened
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners’ sugar

James asks…

I’m a top class athlete. How can I?

I’m 15 years old and I’m a competitive swimmer, I’m already Pescetarian but I was wondering how I could come up with a healthy vegan diet. I guess what I’m asking is, how can I calculate how much of each food group I should be eating and where to find it. I need to have a relatively high intake of complex carbohydrates and protein, which I already know but my team don’t know what I can eat other than beans that have these in them.

If it helps, I train everyday at least 3 or 4 hours and try to run and least 5 miles a day.

Also, does anyone know of any existing vegan swimmers?

Thank you for your time.
I don’t eat meat substitutes either.

admin answers:

You will want to get this book; it is the ultimate authority for vegan athletes. Special order it at Barnes N Noble.

Http://www.brendanbrazier.com/book/index.html

The author is an Ironman Triathlete and swims a lot. He also has won multiple 50K ultra marathons.

Good Luck!

The results will be UNREAL

Additional Details: He is against imitation meat as well! Vegans eat that stuff at every meal so he preaches a soy free diet. This way if you shoot for soy free you will end up at a very minimal soy level.

Hemp, rice and pea protein should be mixed to form the ultimate amino acid profile.

James asks…

How do I summarize this?

They were certainly not considered to be appropriate for important molecular tasks as intracellular signalling or local hormonal regulation.All multi-cellular organisms, use chemical messengers to send information between organelles and to other cells and as relatively small hydrophobic molecules, lipids are excellent candidates for signalling purposes. Storage lipids, such as triacylglycerols, in their cellular context are inert, and indeed esterification with fatty acids may be a method of de-activating steroidal hormones, until they are actually required. In contrast, polar lipids have hydrophilic sites that can bind via hydrogen bonding to membrane proteins and influence their activities. Glycolipids carry complex carbohydrate moieties that have a part to play in the immune system, for example. Lipids have been implicated in a number of human disease states, including cancer and cardiovascular disease, sometimes in a detrimental and sometimes in a beneficial manner.
Yeah, I need to summarize that, and to make them more understandable by my classmate. Or to replace big words with smaller wards Thanks!

admin answers:

Don’t “dumb it down” too much–it’s science!

Lipids are small molecules that generally don’t mix with water. Once thought to be unimportant in cellular operations, they’re now known to have many critical functions. Chemical messengers are lipids found in all multicellular organisms that transfer information within and between cells. Storage lipids are inactive themselves and may help help to deactivate or stabilize other substances like steroid hormones. Polar lipids can bind to and influence activity of proteins. Glycolipids play a role in the immune system; and other lipids may have good or bad effects on human diseases like cancer and heart disease.

OR, for the truly simple audience:

Lipids are much more important than we used to think. They help move information inside cells, bind with hormones so that they can be stored until needed, influence protein activity, and can have good or bad effects on cancer, heart disease, and immunity.

John asks…

how could i reword this paragraph?

how could i change this make it have better words explaining it more and not like i copied and make it seem smart
here it is
Legumes are small, but powerful sources of nutrition. After the grains, like wheat and rice (from the grass family of plants), legumes are the second most important family of plants in human diets. Their special contribution to human nutrition is protein, which they are able to make thanks to a clever bacteria known as rhizobium. These bacteria get into the roots of the plant and change the nitrogen in the air into a form that the plants can use to make amino acids, the basic building blocks of protein. The protein content in legumes is 2-3 times as great as the protein content in the grasses.

Having a reliable source of protein has been critical to the development of human civilizations. Animal protein is often hard to obtain and can be expensive, and protein from grasses is too limited to survive on over the long-term, so legumes have filled that human need for protein in many cultures throughout the world, especially in Asia, Central and South America, and the Mediterranean. They may be small and humble looking, but beans are held in high standing in many societies. For example, some cultures, like those near New Orleans, Malta, Nicaragua, and Italy, believe eating beans on New Year’s Day will bring you good luck, and the Romans named powerful families after the names of legumes in the Mediterranean: Fabius was named after the fava bean, Lentulus after the lentil, Piso after the pea, and Cicero comes from the word for chickpea.

Legumes provide people not only with protein, but also with B vitamins, iron, some starch (complex carbohydrate), and, in the case of soybeans and peanuts, rich, healthy oils. Their seed coats are indigestible, which means that they are a good source of fiber, and colorful, which means they are full of antioxidants, which help prevent diseases.

Legumes are also high in defensive compounds, which are substances that the plant makes to protect itself. If dried beans are fed to people or cattle raw, or not fully cooked, the beans can make them sick. Cooking removes or disables these defensive compounds, and makes them safe to eat.

Carol asks…

Are the carbohydrates from Apple Juice simple or complex?

I’m currently doing a diet analysis project for my nutrition class, and I’m at a part where we need to identify the quality of our carbohydrate intake and give specific examples from our diet of simple/complex carbs. I feel silly but I can’t figure out which one apple juice falls under. Thanks for the help!!

admin answers:

Simple
because there is no fiber to slow down the digestion
eating the apple is much better.

Maria asks…

Help me please with carbohydrates and losing weight!?

Okay I’m been eating better and exercising since August 2011, my starting weight was 282 and I’m 225 currently. People say eating carbohydrates is not good for losing weight because it spikes insulin. I eat probably a good amount of complex carbohydrates, homemade whole wheat bread and 0% fat Organic Horizon Milk mainly. Sometimes a banana or brown rice. People say eating more healthy fats is better, for example 70% fat, 24% protein and 6% carbohydrate. Should i start eating more healthy fats or are these people wrong and complex carbohydrates is good for weight loss?

admin answers:

Unfortunately, anyone who accumulates over 30# of excess fat is more than likely insulin resistant. Long term ingestion of highly refined carbs “burn out” the insulin receptors on muscle cells, so calories go directly to fat cells, leaving muscle cells screaming for nutrition. Exercise forces muscles to accept glucose out of the bloodstream without the need for insulin.

Most people get obese because their bodies just can’t process carbs any more. They become insulin resistant & carbs go straight to fat cells. As healthy as fruit may be, it just doesn’t promote fat loss. The body won’t release fat stores until the blood stream is free of insulin. In someone insulin resistant, the insulin response is too sensitive & produces too much insulin.

Simple carbs are addictive & can be disastrous to health. The best way to break the addiction is NO carbs for 3 days. Make a batch of deviled eggs, eat one every time you want “something” – have huge omelets with bacon, sausage, peppers, mushrooms & cheese. Meats smothered with peppers, mushrooms & cheese – pork rinds & dip or tuna/chicken/egg salad – sugar free cheese cake. Eat so much you won’t feel deprived of anything. By the 4th day, the addiction will be gone & the low carb way of eating will create a natural appetite suppression that makes it much easier to make healthy choices.

You can lose more body fat eating protein & fat (don’t eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast, eat all you want, but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter & half an avocado a day (for added potassium). Keep the calories high & the fat percentage high, at least 65% of calories. Green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.

The first 2 weeks eat several cups a day of (mostly) lettuce & celery, cucumbers, radishes, mushrooms, peppers & more variety of vegetables thereafter – add 5 grams per day additional every week (20 grams day first 2 weeks, 25grams 3rd week, 30grams 4th week etc) til you gain weight, then subtract 10grams. That will be your personal carb level (everyone is different & depends on how active you are.)

Start with meat, fats & salads for 2 weeks and then slowly add in more green veg, wk4 fresh cheeses, wk5 nuts & seeds, wk6 berries, wk7 legumes, wk8 other fruits, wk9 starchy veg, wk10 whole grains. You will learn how your body reacts to different foods.

The first week is just water weight but fat is lost thereafter if you keep your calories high enough. Otherwise the body will strip it’s own lean tissue for nutrition. Although that may look great on a scale it will make it MUCH easier to accumulate fat in the future (since all that pesky lean tissue burning up calories will be gone). The body won’t release fat stores if you lower calories below what it needs. It will slow metabolism to compensate & store every spare ounce as fat. If you continue lowering calories, it will continue lowering the set point, til it can survive off nothing & store fat on anything. The body will only release it’s fat stores if it knows there is plenty of nutritious food.

Eating carbs while trying to lose body fat is terribly inefficient. When in glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) you have to lower your calories (which slows your metabolism) & exercise heavily to deplete your glycogen stores before burning body fat.

The core of Atkins program is converting the body from glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) to ketosis (burning fat as fuel). Dietary fat levels need to be at >65% of total calories, if not, the body will still remain in glycolysis by converting 58% of excess protein into glucose (via gluconeogenesis).

It takes minimum of 3 days to convert a body to ketosis, (but only one bite to convert back to glycolysis). People feel sluggish the first week but most feel better than ever thereafter.

Carbohydrates trigger insulin, the fat storage hormone. Protein triggers the fat burning hormone, glucagon.

High insulin levels promote inflammation, weight gain, hunger & unbalance other hormones. Controlling insulin levels will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so lean muscle will be gained even without exercise.

Ground flax seed (4 Tbsp) 1/4 cup water, artificial sweetener, mix in a raw egg – let sit 10 min. To absorb liquid, put cream cheese in the middle & nuke 2 min. For daily fiber needs.

As long as you have <9grams carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control & shouldn't gain weight, no matter the calories because insulin, the fat storage hormone is not activated. Many people gain weight on high carb, do low carb to lose weight & then are shocked when they return to high carb & gain weight.

Lisa asks…

Why do I get stomach aches before bed EVERY TIME I have no carbs for dinner?

I often am dieting or trying to eat healthy and I’ve noticed a very distinct pattern. On the days that I have very few complex carbohydrates (whole grain pasta, bread, rice, potatoes, etc) for dinner when I go to bed, I get stomach aches. Kind of like I’m still hungry but different kind of feeling. Usually I am eating a stirfry with chicken and vegetables, or maybe a lean steak with a side of broccoli (just some examples). I thought maybe it was just that I wasn’t eating enough, but really calorie for calorie the meals are the same, just no carbohydrates. Mind you, it’s not that I am abstaining from carbs in my whole diet either, just sometimes at night. Has anyone had this experience or know why this is?! It’s just very odd.

admin answers:

Hi Ktherapy,

It sounds as though you are doing everything right, the only one thing I can think of is when you don’t eat carbs for dinner are you eating just strictly protein and if so are eating more of it to take the place of the carbs. If you’re eating more protein on those low carb days, then that is more than likely the problem. If not I’m really not sure what it would be. Not sure how many grams of protein you eat at each meal but it shouldn’t be more than 45-50 grams.

Good Luck,
Casey

Lizzie asks…

Are corn flakes carbohydrathes “lower quality” than pasta’s?

I’m very attentive to my nutrition because I’m an athlete, and I use complex carbohydrates for the main part of my diet.

My breakfast though, is not pasta, but corn flakes and milk. Now, somebody I was talking to told me that complex carbohydrates in cork flakes are “lower quality” than the ones found for example in pasta, due to the baking process, which is supposed to lead to shorter molecules.

Is this true?

Is there a “quality” of a complex carbohydrate (when talking about grain-based ones), based on the length of his chain?

admin answers:

Corn flakes are ok, having a high glycemic index only means they raise blood glucose levels quite fast. Only a problem health wise if you live on simple carbohydrates.

Glycemic index of corn flakes is 81, spaghetti (white) 44. Whole grain bread 38, bran flakes 74.

What are cork flakes? Sorry, couldn’t resist it.
I like corn flakes too – with a banana sliced on top.

Your Questions About Complex Carbohydrates Examples

Laura asks…

What carbohydrates are? Can someone help?

o What carbohydrates are
o The difference between simple and complex carbohydrates
o How sugars are broken down and used in the body
o The benefits that carbohydrates provide to the body
• Give examples of foods that are considered healthy sources of carbohydrates.
• Include information on one of the following disorders related to carbohydrates: lactose
intolerance, diabetes, or hypoglycemia. Be sure to include a definition, how it affects the
body, and some of the courses of action used to treat and manage the disorder.

admin answers:

Carbohydrates are organic compounds made up of elements or components carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Simple carhbohydrtes should be monosacchrides e.g glucose fructose, galactose. Complex carbohydrate or polysaccharide consists of many monosaccharide molecules joined together, eg starch, glycogen, cellulose.

If you are referring to sugars as mono, di and polysaccharides they are broken down in different ways. The starch is broken down by salivary amylase in the mouth to form maltose, starch in the small intestine( duodenum) is broken down by pancreatic amylase to become maltose in the small intestine (ileum) Maltose is broken down by maltase into glucose.

Carbohydrates are needed as a substrate for respiration, provide us with energy for activities, and facilitate the digestion of food.

Carbohydrate food are like rice, noodles, potato.

Hope this helps.
Cheers

Paul asks…

What carbohydrates are ?

What carbohydrates are
The difference between simple and complex carbohydrates
How sugars are broken down and used in the body
The benefits that carbohydrates provide to the body
Give examples of foods that are considered healthy sources of carbohydrates.
• Include information on one of the following disorders related to carbohydrates: lactose intolerance, diabetes, or hypoglycemia. Be sure to include a definition, how it affects the body, and some of the courses of action used to treat and manage the disorder.

admin answers:

Carbohydrates are molecules that consist of oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen, they contain 4 kcal/g and are in the breads, fruits, vegetables, and dairy food groups
simple carbs are sugars, there are 2 types monosaccharides and disaccharides. The types of monosaccharides are glucose, fructose, galactose, ribose, and sugar alcohols. The dissacharides are maltose, sucrose, and lactose.
Complex carbs are starches and fiber (thought fiber can be considered its own group of carbs)
Sugars (disaccharides) are broken down in the small intestine by the enzymes maltase, sucrase, and lactase. They are then used by the body as glucose for energy or excess is stored as fat.
Benefits of the carbohydrate fiber include a decreased risk of colon cancer.
Complex carbohydrates are promoted over simple because they have more nutrients, have moderated energy release, and provide satiety.

Lactose intolerance: decreased production of lactase enzyme that is common in asians, hispanics, african-americans, jewish descent, and mediterranean descent. Lactose accumulates in the large intestine and is fermented by bacteria which leads to gas, cramping, and diarrhea. People with lactose intolerance can buy low-lactose milk, take lactase pills and more information on lactose intolerance can by found on www.niddk.nih.gov/health/digest/pubs/lactose/lactose.htm

Linda asks…

What are the building blocks of Proteins, Carbohydrates, and Lipids, and what do they form?

Example: the building blocks of carbohydrates are monosaccharides or simple sugars, like glucose. they form polysaccharides that are complex sugars like starch.

now i need one for protiens and lipids (:

admin answers:

Proteins = building blocks are amino acids like glycine and alanine to produce polypeptides like transport proteins in the cell

lipids = building blocks are fatty acids with glycerol which are long hydrocarbon chains, to make things like the cell membrane

Your Questions About Complex Carbohydrates Foods

Posted on February 22, 2012 by admin

Donald asks…

what will happen if i don’t eat complex carbohydrates?

Left to my own choice i would love to live off fruit, vegitables, nuts, dairy and the occasioal bit of tuna.

This seems to give me all the vitamins i need and sufficent protein, and fruit and veges are full of fibre. The disacharides in milk and fruit (fructose, sucrose and lactose) can give me quick energy, and the fat and protein in milk and nuts can give me slow burn energy (as could the slower to digest disachrides?).

But for some reason the “bottom of the food pyramid” is all starchy. What do i need complex carbohydrates for? They seem like just “empty energy”.

(I’m not trying to loose weight, i just find the “bottom of the pyramid” foods a bit dull.)
p.s. brain needs glucose, which can be made from fat and protein by a long anabolic then catabolic prosess… or can be found in most disacharides by a relatively short anabolic process.
sory, you get glucose from disacharides by a catabolic prosess… i think, dang i’m confused? either way i can get glucose from fructose.

admin answers:

Carbs break down into sucrose. Your brain drinks sucrose 24/7, it’s what the grey matter lives on. Studies have shown protein dieters are not only meaty smelling but a little mentally dull. So, bluntly put, you need carbs for your brain.

Michael asks…

Which food would provide the greatest amount of stored complex carbohydrates?

a. Almonds

b. Milk
c. Corn

d. Table sugar

e. Spinach

The answer is corn.

Sandra asks…

What is the main difference between refined carbohydrates, such as those found in white bread…?

, and complex carbohydrates, such as those found in whole grain foods and wheat bread?

Refined carbs usually lack vitamins, minerals and fiber found in complex carbs.
Refined carbs usually contain glucose, while complex carbs usually contain starch.
Complex carbs increase glucose levels in the blood more than refined carbs.
Refined carbs are more slowly broken down into glucose than complex carbs.
All of the above.

David asks…

Consuming no complex carbohydrates until the weekends?

I guess you can say Im experimenting and taking hypothesis’. I am attempting to only eat simple carbohydrates (with the exception of yogurt) during the week, such as fruits and vegetables and mainly saving my high fiber, complex carbohydrate intake for Saturday and Sunday.

Do you think I will still drop weight and lean out at all? Or do you think the weekends will throw the whole thing off completely?

I do not plan to go to either extreme of a high fat diet while not consuming carbs or overloading on carbs on weekends. Im mostly sticking to veggie burgers, fruits/vegetables, yogurt, eggwhites and low fat cheese thruought the entire week, while incorporating 100% whole wheat foods on the weekends, such as a sensible portion of whole wheat pasta and oatmeal.

admin answers:

Your theory here; can you explain why you think eating simple carbs over complex carbs would make you lose weight as opposed to gaining?

Complex carbohydrates keep your blood sugar levels constant, this minimizes fat storage. Spiking your insulin with high GI simple carbs is great for after a workout – replenishing glycogen. Eating mainly simple carbs though sounds like it would just promote fat storage.

Personally I think you will lose some weight in the week, only because you’re NOT eating many simple carbs OR complex carbs at all. Your ‘week’ diet is high in protein but not simple carbohydrates, the only major source on your list is fruits, which are high in fructose.

People have done their Ph.D. In this field, why are you experimenting on yourself?

Your Questions About Complex Carbohydrates List

Posted on January 24, 2012 by admin

Mary asks…

Where do the calories come from in metamucil?

all the carbohydrates listed are soluble fiber and dietary fiber…
5 carbohydrates = 20 calories, but since fiber cant be used as energy…. are the calories coming from an unlisted amount of protein?
I know the ingredients include maltodextrin which is a complex carbohydrate….
Is this where the calories are coming from the complex carbohydrates that they dont list?? Or would that be included in the total carbohydrates?

The package lists it like this..
total carbohydrates = 5 grams
Dietary fiber = 3 grams
soluble fiber =2 grams

just a little confused on how this will affect on my low carb diet…

admin answers:

Yes the calories come from the fiber, maltodextrin is a carbohydrate that does aid in energy, but since its a complex carbohydrate it does not effect blood insulin levels. One gram of carbohydrates has 4 calories, no matter what the source. There for, 5 carbs times 4 cals a carb= 20 cals.

admin answers:

1. What is RNA and explain what it does and aslo do the same wth DNA pelase and thank u .?

RNA is just single stranded. DNA is double stranded.

Just remember this: DNA is your genetic information, and it is the exact sequence to make protein. However, since it is so important data, that it need some “copy machine” to do the work.

So Before protein can be made, it needs to be transcipt to RNA, then translate to protein. You may want to check out central dogma. RNA have a few types. MRNA, tRNA, rRNA, etc. They are all required to make protein during the central dogma steps.

2. What are the six characteristics of living things?
They contain DNA or RNA(for virus only, but not consider as living thing) , Cell, organelles. They breathe, they eat, they metabolize and reproduces.

3. Diffence betweet simple adn complex carbohydrates?
What is adn?

4. Example of food source tht contains simple carbohydrates?

Glucose water?

5 Example of a food sourcethat contains complex carbohydrates?

Bread? Rice? Sweet potato? They need enzymes to change them into simple carbohydrates,

6. List the 5 building blocks of cell and describe one function of each……

Plant or animal cell?
DNA: genetic information for the organism to make protein
Cell membrane: protect the cell
Cytoskeleton: give the shape of the cell
mitochiondrion: Contain enzymes that break down ATP to ADP.
Cytoplasm: contain floating enzymes and chemical that helps make cell pH level and oxygen level, and water level.

7. Explain why an organism that lives in land has more complex mechanism to maintain homeostasis than one living in water.

If not, without homeostatsis mechanism, you tend to fall sick /die much easily because different temperature, pH, water level could kill you. Compared to organsim on water, temperature is more constant.

8. Explain why a single- celled organsim produces an offspring identical to itself . THEN summeriza the section phspholipids…

Jenny asks…

Give at least 5 examples of enzymes and identify each enzyme’s substrate and reaction products?

An important step in utilizing complex carbohydrates as an energy source is to break their glycosidic linkage. This is necessary because the digestive system cannot absorb any carbohydrates larger than a monosaccharide. Compile a list of at least 5 enzymes that can accomplish this. Identify each enzyme’s substrate and reaction products. You may include enzymes found in any organisms…

HELP!!!

admin answers:

Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycoside_hydrolase

Glycoside hydrolases are typically named after the substrate that they act upon. Thus glucosidases catalyze the hydrolysis of glucosides and xylanases catalyze the cleavage of the xylose based homopolymer xylan. Other examples include lactase, amylase, chitinase, sucrase, maltase, neuraminidase, invertase, hyaluronidase and lysozyme.

Bingo! 5 of these act in digestion.
Lactase, amylase, chitinase, sucrase, maltase (invertase too).

Lactase: the ?-glycosidic bond in D-lactose is hydrolyzed to form D-galactose and D-glucose.

Calories and carbohydrates and losing weight… Soo confused, please help.?

Okay so somebody PLEASE help me. I have tons of questions about tons of stuff so i didn’t know what to do for with question. Well people say not to eat carbohydrates when your on a diet. But can’t you still with excercise?!?! Gosh, ppl are dumb then!!! And if you can’t eat carbohydrates then they say complex carbohydrates, but wouldn’t it be either or because of excersice?!?!!! Can’t they be specific? I need to lose weight and im confused with all these “buts” & “ifs” annd “howevers” goddamned people. And then websites say(they are true not lies) that an apple a day keeps doctor away and it’s okay to eat more than one apple a day?? Well i just found out that apparently apples have carbs or complex carbs whatever…. But I thought apples were healthy?! Now can’t eat them cause’ they have carbs! So can I eat more than one apple a day? Does it matter how much excersice i get could i still have 2 or 3 for a snack? What about tangerines and bananas? Can i have more than one a day? And same thing applies, does it matter how much excersice i get?? OBVIOUSLY, im not gonna get the EXACT same amount of excersice i get each day, it’s gonna be varied right?? Like if I do 5 hours of excersice one day at my barn and then the other I day I don’t go to the barn and instead I walk home from school and do some house work which is 1 or 2 hours, can i still have the fruit??? I heard fruit is so healthy so shouldn’t u be able to eat a lot????? Like geez, it’s better than chocolate…. And on a site it states… “Complex carbohydrates are mostly found in vegetables, nuts, grains, oat meals, and nuts. Listed below are some of the examples of complex carbohydrates food:
Barley Oat bran bread Low fat yogurt Onions Zucchini Tomatoes Lentils Kidney beans Apples Grapefruits Pears Carrots Oranges, etc.,,
ughhh Im sorry I can’t finish the rest because there’s too much writing.

admin answers:

Hi,
Ok, right I am going to tell you something now. FORGET EVERYTHING YOU HAVE READ OR HEARD!!!! You are so confused you need to get back to basics ok.
Don’t worry about fruit being a carbohydrate, yes some have more sugar in than others, but it is better to eat an apple than tuck into cookies!
In UK we say high glycemic and low glycemic foods which I find more useful. So the higher the rating, the faster the sugar is absorbed into the blood stream.
So, go back to basics, think lots of veggies, lots of fruit, lean meat/fish whole grains, lots of water. Then allow yourself a tiny treat a day.
Hope this helps. More tips/advice? Just get back to me.

Ken asks…

What foods are high in Protein and Complex Carbohydrates but low in Fats, Calories, and Sugars?

Hi, I’m looking for good foods that can help in aiding me with losing weight (40-50lbs body fat) and gaining muscle (15-25lbs lean muscle mass). I want a good, healthy food that I can eat during pre or post workout that wont spoil it after wards. I also will be taking protein shakes, but I need the complex carbs for good energy. Thank You So Much!!

As of now the only foods I know of like that are Greek Yogurt and Egg Whites (Bottled kind), and Tuna

Just some examples

The Greek Yogurt is like 20 Grams Protein @ like 100 Calories Per Serving

The Egg Whites are like 6 Grams Protein @ like 30 Calories Per Serving

The Tuna is like 13 Grams Protein @ like 60 Calories Per Serving

Just some examples

Thank You So Much!!

admin answers:

Fats are essential and healthy, skip the carbs instead. You will lose more body fat eating protein and fat (don’t eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast eat all you want but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter and half an avocado a day (you’ll need added potassium). Keep your fat percentage high. Adding in green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.

If you starve yourself, your body will freak out and will want to store every ounce in case it doesn’t get nourished again. You need to give it adequate nourishment so it doesn’t slow your metabolism down to adjust for lower calories.

Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) triggers insulin which can store the calories you eat into fat. The more protein you eat the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate you eat the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.

High insulin levels unbalance other hormones. Controlling your insulin level will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so you will gain lean muscle even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase your muscle mass with high HGH levels.

Reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass will have you in awesome shape in no time. Good luck!

An incomplete protein is one that is lacking an amino acid that in and of itself can’t complete the full 12 essential amino acids without the help of another food item that contains the missing amino acid.
Examples would be; nuts, beans, you can break this down further by naming any variety of nut or bean.
A complex carbohydrate is one that contains its complete nutrients as nature gave them like brown rice, whole grains, such as whole wheat, oats, corn etc.
Fat is important as it is what the body uses to make the hormones in the body.

Chris asks…

Explain why chemists refer to the joining of monosaccharide 10 PTS?

Synthesis means the process by which simple compounds are united to form more complex materials. Dehhydration means loss of water. Explain why chemists refer to the joining of monosaccaride molecules to form disaccharides as a dehydration synthesis reaction.

Why is joining of four molecules in forming a polysaccaride an example of dehydration synthesis?

the word carbohydrate is derived from carbon and water “hydrate” explain why this combination correctly describes this chemical group.

admin answers:

When 2 monosaccharides come together to form a disaccharide, the process involves the loss of a hydrogen atom (H+) from one monosaccharide and a loss of a hydroxyl group (-OH) in the other. This occurs because the hydrogen atom bonds with the hydroxyl group, resulting in a breakage of bonds from their respective monosaccharides.

This process is termed “dehydration” because water is lost to form a new bond (a glycosidic bond) between the two monosaccharides, and synthesis because a disaccharide is produced. In other words, dehydration occurs in order to synthesize a disaccharide.

A formation of a polysaccharide works in the same way, except that 3 water molecules are “dehydrated” from the 4 monosaccharides.

The word carbohydrate is derived from carbon and water because the chemical structure is composed of only C-atoms and H- and O- atoms. The molecular formula is C6H12O6. H12O6 is basically 6 water molecules, and C6 is 6 carbon atoms.

Maria asks…

Biology(SCI206) I need help understanding this.?

Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis co-exist as paired metabolic processes.
Photosynthesis uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide into glucose, a simple sugar, in two steps, the light dependent and light independent reactions. Oxygen is produced as a by product during photosynthesis. This reaction stores energy in the chemical bonds of glucose.
Sugar and other carbohydrates are used as fuel sources by cells. During the process of Aerobic Cellular Respiration, glucose is broken down using oxygen. This reaction releases energy which is used to create ATP molecules, the energy carrier molecule of cells. The process also releases Carbon Dioxide as a byproduct.

Part 1: Download and fill out this table to compare and contrast Photosynthesis and Aerobic Cellular Respiration. You will submit the completed table for Part 1.
Click here for a copy of the table.

Part 2: After completing the table you will have a basic understanding of these two complementary metabolic processes. Using what you have learned, and additional reference information, answer the following questions.
What is the name given to the types of organisms that can use photosynthesis to produce glucose? In addition, provide THREE specific examples..
What is the name given to the types of organisms that exclusively use aerobic cellular respiration to break down glucose to produce ATP for energy? In addition, provide THREE specific examples.
If oxygen is lacking, how might cells meet their energy needs through fermentation? Explain and give some examples of cells that can do this.
Both photosynthesis and aerobic cellular respiration are examples of complex metabolic pathways, consisting of many linked chemical reactions that require enzymes to function. Briefly, explain two (ONLY TWO) attributes of enzymes in catalyzing chemical reactions and in metabolic pathways.

Steven asks…

Help? i don’t know how to answer these 3 questions =[ i don’t want to fell my biology class =[[ help help?

1. synthesis means ” process by which simple compounds are united to from more complex materials” dehydration means “loss of water”. Explain why chemist refer to the joining of monosaccharide molecules to from disaccharides as a dehydration synthesis reaction.

2. why is the joining of four glucose molecules in forming a polysaccharide an example of dehydration synthesis?

3. the word carbohydrate is derived from carbon and water (hydrate). Explain why this combination correctly describes this chemical group.

admin answers:

1.When monosaccharides are joined together an -OH group from one is combined with an -H from the second producing a molecule of water and a glycosidic bond holding the two monosaccharides together.
So the elimination of water is dehydration and a disaccharide has been synthesised – a dehydration synthesis.

2.Three molecules of water are released when the four glucose molecules are joined.

3.Glucose is C6H12O6 and the ratio is one carbon to one H2O giving carbohydrate. Carbohydrates, and not just glucose, have this ratio of C H and O.

Your Questions About Complex Carbohydrates Definition

Joseph asks…

How can I build muscle?

I work so hard to build muscle. I am 6’1″, 150 pounds and 15. I work out an hour on weights every other day of the week (bicep curls, overhead press, pushups, tricep workouts, etc.). I m using the correct weights (I can do about 7 reps on each of my 15 upper body exercises before I need to rest). I then do either running (.75-1 mi), leg workouts (about 5 different exercises, for one hour), or work out for an hour on a heavy punching bag I bought specifically for building bicep, delt, abdominal and tricep strength and definition. I eat right for the most part (a lot of protein, with intermittent whey shakes before and after workouts, and before slumber), although I do slip a chocolate bar here and there. I currently do my workouts all at home using a 30 yr old curling bar and about 150 pounds of weights (and my own bodywieght, for self-supported exercise), including two 20 pound dumbbells. Because of this, I am forced to use that crappy old curling bar to do a ghetto bench press on my bed at about 3/4 my max. And buying new weights is not an option. I started my routine about 3 months ago, and have been nonstop ever since (except for a 1 week hiatus because of a sports injury). I have noticed increased strength in some areas (like biceps and pushup ability (pectorals)), but no real improvement in some (like triceps, ab definition). I have virtually no real cosmetic difference than I did when I started. I am very frustrated, considering how hard I work to achieve some type of definition muscle-wise. My mom doesnt allow me to use the gym (although she does use it herself) because of some illusion a primetime news program relayed to her about young men and weightlifting in gyms. What am I doing wrong? I’ve researched a lot on the internet about the right nutrition. I work hard, eat a ton, eat the right food, have the right routine, and try to be smart about exercise! Am I just one of those people who can’t be buff? Am I destined to rely on my cheeky and shy personality to get girls? Somebody Help Me. And I have muscle building supplements filled with Creatine, Complex Carbohydrates, and all the rest of the bs that marketing campaigns on the internet encourage to dissuade use of pure whey. After taking them for a month and a half and seeing no visible result, I just threw them away because they taste horrible.

Sandy asks…

Vampire editorial i wrote for journalism?

ok i wrote this for journalism. It’s due on Monday so what do you guys think about it. What should i change.

————————————————————————————————————————————————

If you could be a vampire or werewolf, would you be one? Many would. And some actually think that they are these creatures. So what exactly is a vampire? According to dictionary definition, a vampire is a mythological being who survive by feeding on the blood of living creatures, regardless of whether they are undead or a living person
“Well, at first it is very surprising to see a seemingly demonic figure of fiction in flesh and blood.” An anonymous source, who wished to be known as Faeldrake said. “I study vampires from time to time, but I mostly study lycanthropes.”
Lycanthropy is the magical ability of a person to assume the characteristics of a wolf.
“On full moons I feel energized, and I have weird dreams of shape-shifting into a German Shepard.” Darrell Smith, a 15-year-old freshman from Spring Valley High School said.
But what could cause people to believe in folklore and fairy tales? What could be the source of this?
“I’ve thought I was a werewolf ever since I was 5 years old. I saw this movie about werewolves in Paris. Wolves have just been a constant in my life. I was around a lot of dogs too. My dad had them, and I did what they did.” Smith said.
Many skeptics say vampires aren’t real, especially doctors who deal with this kind of thinking.
“The human body is not designed to process large amounts of blood for nutrition. There is not enough protein, carbohydrates, and fats present in blood to maintain a complex creature such as Homosapiens or any theorized offshoot mutations.” Raymond Lewis said.
It seems as if people saying vampires and other mythical creatures aren’t real are making many others believe even more.
“I think the doctors are saying vampires aren’t real because the government is trying to hide us. Vampires are real.” 17-year-old Krystal Rose said.
There are those though, that have tried to use science to prove vampires are real.
“I have skin samples on vampires, have done quite some experiments, and have seen them in action.” Faeldrake said.
The recent buzz in the media about vampires, mainly due to The Twilight Saga by Stephanie Meyer, and the hit CW show, The Vampire Diaries, based on the books by L.J. Smith, has angered many self proclaimed ‘Vampires’.
“Vampires aren’t anything like the ones in Twilight.” Nicole Adams said.
Many people agree with her too. The idea of vampires being anything like the fictional Cullen Clan of Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight seems to draw out emotional responses from many.
“The whole Twilight thing is so stupid because I can go out in the sun. I just don’t like to. It irritates my skin, like just a little tingle.” Rose said.
An interesting question would be whether or not these people family and friends know about what they believe. How would you tell someone you love that you thing you’re a monster?
“My friends know. [My friend] Tykeem and I pretend all the time we’re real wolves. I tell my other friends, but they mock me. I’m afraid to tell my parents, they might put me out. [laughs]” Smith said.
Who would win, vampires versus werewolves? It’s the question that’s been debated by many, but no one seems to have come up with a 100% answer.
“It’s a trick question, in groups, wolves are unstoppable and we can catch a vampire during daytime. But one on one, we’ll still have about a 50-50 chance against vampires. But it depends on age. If they had swords though, vampires would win. NO one can beat a vampire with a sword.” Smith said.
It seems though, that vampires have about the same beliefs as a werewolf does as to who would win in this kind of fight.
“I like werewolves, so I wouldn’t fight them, but it depends on strength and age too. Vampires in a group would win, but if werewolves were in a pack…” Rose said.

admin answers:

Myself I like your Vampire editorial but I believe that vampires are fictitious,mythical,folkloric.Good luck. Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire —— Vampires are mythological or folkloric beings who subsist by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of living creatures, regardless of whether they are undead or a living person. Although vampiric entities have been recorded in many cultures and according to speculation by literary historian Brian Frost that the “belief in vampires and bloodsucking demons is as old as man himself”, and may go back to “prehistoric times”, the term vampire was not popularized until the early 18th century, after an influx of vampire superstition into Western Europe from areas where vampire legends were frequent, such as the Balkans and Eastern Europe, although local variants were also known by different names, such as vampir (??????) in Serbia and Bulgaria, vrykolakas in Greece and strigoi in Romania. This increased level of vampire superstition in Europe led to mass hysteria and in some cases resulted in corpses actually being staked and people being accused of vampirism.

While even folkloric vampires of the Balkans and Eastern Europe had a wide range of appearance ranging from nearly human to bloated rotting corpses, it was the success of John Polidori’s 1819 The Vampyre that established the charismatic and sophisticated vampire of fiction as it is arguably the most influential vampire work of the early 19th century inspiring such works as Varney the Vampire and eventually Dracula.

However, it is Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula that is remembered as the quintessential vampire novel and which provided the basis of modern vampire fiction. Dracula drew on earlier mythologies of werewolves and similar imaginary demons and “was to voice the anxieties of an age”, and the “fears of late Victorian patriarchy”. The success of this book spawned a distinctive vampire genre, still popular in the 21st century, with books, films, video games, and television shows. The vampire is such a dominant figure in the horror genre that literary historian Susan Sellers places the current vampire myth in the “comparative safety of nightmare fantasy”.

Questions –

1. Which statement about mitosis is false?

A. The process by which 1 set of chromosomes in the cell nucleus is divided in half between two new cells
B. Same as meiosis
C. The process by which a cell divides to produce an identical cell
D. both A and B

2. Translation is:

A. information in mRNA is coded into proteins
B. when mRNA copies a set of genes
C. attaching the correct amino acids to the corresponding tRNA
D. process of making copies of DNA

3. Select the answer that correctly explains how protein is synthesized.

A. Protein is synthesized inside the nucleus of the cell. Messenger RNA (mRNA) transports the ribosomes to the DNA inside the nucleus. The mRNA connects the ribosome to the DNA chain and copies the code. The code is taken from the mRNA by the ribosomes, so the correct protein synthesis can occur.
B. Protein is not made straight from the DNA inside the nucleus. Transfer RNA (tRNA) copies the necessary code and transfers it to the ribosome. Protein synthesis occurs within the ribosome.
C. Protein is not made straight from the DNA inside the nucleus. Messenger RNA (mRNA) copies the necessary code from the DNA within the nucleus and transports it to the ribosome. Protein synthesis occurs within the ribosome by putting together the appropriated amino acids in a specified order according to the code delivered by the mRNA.
D. The copying of the DNA gene code is completed by a kind of RNA called ribosomal RNA (rRNA). The key function of the ribosomes is to synthesize proteins. The rRNA copies the DNA from inside the nucleus where it is taken to the nuclear membrane. Through the membrane the rRNA connects with a transfer RNA (tRNA), which carries the genetic code to the ribosome for protein synthesis.
