Q

Proteins

A

Used for the growth and repair of cells
- Used as a source of energy
if carbohydrate and fat reserves are low.

Made up of long chains of amino acids
- which after digestion; are absorbed into the bloodstream

  • and brought to cells that reassemble them into proteins needed by the body.

Q

Reagents and Food Testing

A

There are tests which can be used to detect carbohydrates, proteins and lipids.

They involve:
- Adding a reagent to a food sample - changing the colour depending on what biological molecules are present.

  • Sometimes it‘s necessary to crush or add water to the food before adding the reagent.
