Answer

Any molecule that displays any of the catalytic motifs seen in the earlier guides (general acid/base catalysis, electrostatic catalysis, nucleophilic catalysis, intramolecular catalysis, transition state stabilization) can be a catalyst. 

Answer

Daily requirements of calcium for adults is 1000mg/day.However in special conditions like pregnancy and lactation a person needs extra amount to fulfill the daily calcium need.  Pregnancy-1200mg/day  Lactation-1300mg/day  Menopause-1300mg/day  Elderly-1300mg/day 

Answer

Milk, yogurt and beverages with calcium added such as soy beverages, orange juice, and rice beverages. Cheese is also a good source of calcium.

Answer

Basal Metabolic Rate is the amount of energy expressed in calories that a person needs to keep the body functioning at rest. Some of those processes are breathing, blood circulation, controlling body temperature, cell growth, brain and nerve function, and contraction of muscles. Basal metabolic rate (BMR) affects the rate that a person burns calories and ultimately whether you maintain, gain, or lose weight. Your basal metabolic rate accounts for about 60 to 75% of the calories you burn every day. It is influenced by several factors.        BMR estimation formula byHarris-Benedict equation, which was created in 1919.

• for men, P=[(13.7516m/1kg)+(5.003h/1cm)-(6.7550a/1yr)+66.4736]k.cal/day
• for women,P=[(9.564m/1kg)+(1.8496h/1cm)-(4.6756a/1yr)+65.0955]  where P is total heat production at complete rest, m is mass (kg), h is height (cm), and a is age (years), and with the difference in BMR for men and women being mainly due to differences in body weight.[3] For example, a 55-year-old woman weighing 130 lb (59 kg) and 5 feet 6 inches (168 cm) tall would have a BMR of 1272 kcal per day or 53 kcal/h (61.3 watts).

Answer

Four important amino acids are Histidine,Isoleucine, Leucine, & Lysine. (other five are methionine, phenylalanine, threonine,tryptophan, and valine.)

Answer

An enzyme, called pepsin, produced by cells lining the wall of the stomach, starts to attack some of the peptide bonds and splits the long protein chains into shorter polypeptides. Then more peptidases are released from the pancreas into the small intestine, where they split the polypeptide chains into even smaller lengths and begin to remove individual amino acids from the ends of the chains. Digestion of virtually all the protein in the food into individual amino acids is completed by more peptidases released directly from the cells lining the small intestine. The amino acids are then transported across the wall of the small intestine into the bloodstream. The blood carries them to all the cells of the body, where they can be absorbed and used by each type of cell to make its own particular types of protein by linking them together again, in the order determined by the DNA in the chromosomes.Protein digestion starts in the stomach, the walls of which secrete hydrochloric acid. Acids cause proteins to coagulate, by affecting the bonds holding globular proteins into their normal shape.

Skin health: Fiber, particularly psyllium husk, may help move yeast and fungus out of your body, preventing them from being excreted through your skin where they could trigger acne or rashes.

Answer

There are three main groups of carbohydrates: monosaccharide, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.

Monosaccharide or single sugar There are many single sugars or monosaccharide. The most common single sugar are the sugars with six carbon atoms – glucose, fructose, and galactose. Glucose is found in all animals, at least in small quantities. Fructose is found in plants, but rare in animals. Galactose is found in milk sugar from mammals.

Disaccharides or double sugars Double sugars are so called because each molecule of a double sugar is made up of two molecules of single sugars bonded together. Double sugars are also called disaccharides. Common disaccharides are maltose, sucrose, and lactose. Polysaccharides or complex carbohydratesPolysaccharides consist of many monosaccharide molecules joined together. Starch, glycogen, and cellulose are complex carbohydrates.
