The fats in the body are triacylglycerols, cholesterol, or long chains of fatty acids. The fatty acids, a biomolecule, are converted into acetyl-CoA by the method known as beta...
Carbohydrates are one of the three essential nutrients; the other two are proteins and fats. Molisch's, Benedict's, Fehling's, Tollen's, Iodine and Bial's test are the common tests for determining...
Cellulose Acetate Electrophoresis: Principle and Application
When analyzing different biochemical samples separating each component is an essential step. Electrophoresis is one of the methods of separation where elements of the sample are separated due to the...
Oxidative phosphorylation is the energy-yielding metabolic process of aerobic organisms. All oxidative breakdowns of carbohydrates, fats, and amino acids intersect at this final stage of cellular...
The catabolism of biomolecules like glucose, amino acids, and lipids occurs either in the presence or the absence of oxygen. Aerobic catabolism of the biomolecules is known as cellular respiration,...
