BIOCHEMISTRY

Molecules
1. Glucose

Sources
Fruit Juice, Dextrose Blood

Function/Role Carbohydrates
Sugar, Glucose is mainly used by the Diabetes body for short-term energy. Glucose is taken up by cells and converted to pyruvate in a multistep, multienzyme process called glycolysis.

4. Ribose

5. Sucrose

Milk, Nectar, Sugar in Wine, Lactose is milk sugar its Snacks and Sweet, Processed much less sweet than table Food, Medicine sugar, and occurs naturally in milk and other daily products. Beverages, Beer, Cereal, Pasta, Maltose A white crystalline Potatoes sugar, C12H22O11H2O, formed during the digestion of starch. It also helps in the fermentation process that produces alcohol.. Meat and Dairy, Seafood, are the building blocks of the Vegetables and Legumes backbone chains in nucleic acids, a pentose sugar obtained by the hydrolysis of RNA. Table Sugar, Canes, Beet A crystalline disaccharide of fructose and glucose,

Lipids
1. Erucic Acid Flowering Plants, Brussles Erucic acid can be converted Sprouts, Brocolli, mustard seed into surfactants or lubricants, and wall flower seed and it can be a precursor of biodiesel fuels, and it is monounsaturated because it has only one double-bonded carbon atom in its fatty acid chain. Palm Kernel Oil, Butter, Myristic Acid provides Spermaceti moisture, links proteins that form outer layer of skin Olive Oil Oleic Acid is a major emulsifying agent in soap, it is also used as an emollient Sweet Almond Oil, Sea palmitoleic acid is one of the Buckthorn Oil, Macadamia Nut basic building blocks in our skin Oil, Jojoba Oil and helps to prevent wounds, Cardiovascular Disease
