How Alcohol is Measured in the Body. People may drink the same amount of a beverage, but the percentage of alcohol in the blood depends on gender, body weight, strength of the drink, size of the drink, whether there is food in the stomach, and time spent drinking.
A triglyceride (TG, triacylglycerol, TAG, or triacylglyceride) is an ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids (from tri- and glyceride). Triglycerides are the main constituents of body fat in humans and other animals, as well as vegetable fat.
Starch, Glycogen and Cellulose All polysaccharides (polymers of monosaccharides- sugars, so they are carbohydrates): - All are made up of either alpha or beta gluecose monomers linked by glycosidic bonds - These glycosidic bonds are formed in condensation reactions - All can be hydrolysed into their alpha or beta glucose monomers in a hydrolysation reaction, in which a molecule of H20 is produced from each broken glycosidic bond (OH group from one glucose monomer, H from an adjacent glucose monomer) STARCH - Main energy storage material in plants: not found in animal cells, ever.
