Learning objectives • Explain the molecular structure of sugars and polysaccharides • Explain digestion and appreciate the complexity of the human body • Experiment with different foods and measure their impact on the blood sugar level Introduction Most people are familiar with carbohydrates, especially when it comes to what we eat. For example, to lose weight, some individuals adhere to “low-carb” diets. Athletes, in contrast, often “carbohydrate-load” before important competition...

Learning Objectives • Identify the types of macromolecules found in food • Identify the structure of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids • Detect macromolecules in food samples Introduction Macromolecules are very large molecules created by the polymerization of small units called monomers. Most of the macromolecules are present in everyday life, for instance in food. Learn about biological macromolecules There are several types of biological macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids...

Hello everyone! For this weeks discussion I will be doing option 2 the topic of genetics in forensic science.

Group Project Power Point Presentation This week you need to get your topic approved for the group project due in Week 7. Please review the requirements for this assignment now. Week 7 Assignment Requirements Instructions: Students will work in groups of 2-4 students. Working as a group, students will pick a topic based on course outcomes (COs), research that topic for its connection to nursing/health care. Students may pick a topic from the suggested topics list or instructors may choose to...
