Title: Branched Chained Amino Acids for Muscle Building and Recovery 1. Introduction A. Consumed for pre-workout‚ during or post workout. B. Where they are found: Different types of animal proteins we consume and different supplements on the market 2. What are BCAAs A. Examples: L-Leucine‚ Citrulline Malate‚ Beta Alanine‚ L-Isoleucine‚ L-Valine‚ and alpha-Hydroxyisocaproic Acid (HCAA) B. They are the building blocks of proteins‚ form coenzymes (coenzymes

August 2‚ 2013 Protein Article Research Proteins are molecules that consist of amino acids. Our skin‚ muscles‚ bones and other parts of the body depend on these amino acids to help our bodies function properly. Enzymes‚ hormones and antibodies are proteins. Proteins work as neurotransmitters‚ and protein carries oxygen in the blood and throughout the rest of the body. Amino acids are the building blocks for proteins. Enzymes‚ hormones‚ transport proteins‚ Immunoglobulin or Antibodies

Basic chemistry of a cell Properties of water – – – Life on Earth began in water and evolved there for 3 billion years before spreading onto land. Modern life‚ even terrestrial life‚ remains tied to water. All living organisms require water more than any other substance. Human beings for example‚ can survive for quite for a few weeks without food‚ but only a week or so without water. – – – Water is deceptively simple. It is shaped something like a wide V‚ with its two hydrogen atoms joined

released from Alanine‚ oxidized by soil microbes‚ absorbed by a root‚ and reduced and assimilated into aspartic acid is known as the Nitrogen Cycle. This cycle is necessary because there is a shortage of nitrogen in the soil; therefore‚ most of the soil nitrogen is obtained from dead organic materials such as Amino Acids. The first step in this process is nitrogen being released from the amino acid. This process is known as ammonification. Alanine is used as an organic source because it is found in humus

Q: Compare and contrast the variety of amino acids with that of monosaccharides and fatty acids. Which group exhibits the greatest structural variability? A: There are twenty amino acids‚ with that there are only three types of monosaccharides; the large variety is because of the constant change in the R groups. The three monosaccharides are fructose‚ galactose and glucose. In comparison‚ there are only two types of fatty acids‚ those being‚ unsaturated and saturated. The group that exhibits
