Vitamin

Vitamins are a group of organic nutrients, required in small quantities for a variety of biochemical functions that, generally, cannot be synthesized by the body and must therefore be supplied in the diet.

Glycogen Metabolism

Glycogen is a very lage branched polymer that readily mobilized storage form of glucose. Our body needs energy. It is accumulated in response to insulin and broken down into glucose

Structure and Function

Leukocyte

White blood cell, also called leukocyte or white corpuscle, a cellular component of the blood that lacks hemoglobin, has anucleus, is capable of motility, and defends the body against infection and disease by ingesting foreign materials and cellular debris, by destroying infectious agents and cancer cells, or by producing antibodies.

Erythrocyte

The structure and composition of red blood cells reflects their highly specialized function: to deliver the maximum quantity of oxygen possible to tissues and aid in the removal carbon dioxide, a waste product of cellular respiration, and urea. The interior of a red blood cell contains a massive concentration of hemoglobin, roughly one-third by weight (30-34 g/dL for an adult). This

Doing daily activities need energy. The energy occurs in foods. The food, for e.g rice does not give body the needed energy. But it needs to break down into a chemical compounds in body. This process is called metabolism.

DEFINITION

Carbohydrates are one of the main types of nutrients. They are the most important source of energy for your body. Your digestive system changes carbohydrates into glucose (blood sugar). Your body uses this sugar for energy for your cells, tissues and organs. It stores any extra sugar in your liver and muscles for when it is needed.
