Complex foods are eaten on a daily basis, which contain mixtures of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Glucose (also known as dextrose) is one of a group of carbohydrates known as simple sugars or monosaccharides. Glucose has a molecular formula C6H12O2. It is mainly found in fruits and honey and is the main free sugar circulating in the blood of higher animals. Glucose is the source of energy in cell function, and regulation of its metabolism. Molecules of starch are the main energy-reserve carbohydrate of plants consists of thousands of linear glucose units. Another major and linear compound composed of glucose is cellulose [Glucose]. Protein is found throughout the body in the …show more content…
The primary structure of protein is the sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain and determines the rest of the protein structure. The secondary structure of proteins is the most basic level of protein folding. The structure is held together by hydrogen bonds. The secondary structure is divided into alpha (α) and beta (β) protein. The tertiary structure of proteins is a three-dimensional structure formed by the folding up of a whole polypeptide chain. Every protein has unique tertiary structure, which is responsible for its properties and function. For example, the shape of the active site in an enzyme is due to its treaty structure. Quaternary structure of proteins found only in proteins containing more than one polypeptide chain. The amino acids in human bodies are made it two different ways: either from scratch or by modifying others. A few amino acids also known as the essential amino acids must come from food [Proteins the nutrition source]. There are two main types of fats, saturated and unsaturated.

Competition in School

...towards it or compete with others if they want to outshine. They will learn to sharpen their mind in order to stay ahead. His performance is carried into his working life. However, on the negative side, loosing in a competition can be so humbling that the students fall into depression. They may begin to lose self-confidence and question their capability. A student who is always at the top will be under pressure to either maintain his position or to do even better. It can be rather stressful. In this sense, it is not healthy to be too competitive.

...personality, as well as the individual’s personal history. He found that the ego can function independently and is the most important. Unlike other neo-Freudians, Jung focused on the unconscious, coming up with analytical psychology, his own theories on the unconscious. He came up with a variation of Freud’s ideas of human psyche, ego, consciousness and unconsciousness. Jung also came up with describing our personality as a whole, the concept of the self. Horney was one of the few female psychologists at the time. She focuses o the development of the child as being greatly influenced by their parents and the theory of self. She came up with three strategies go deal with neurosis. Horney had a strong disagreement with Freud’s Oedipus complex and her theory that girls do not only have penis envy, but guys have womb envy. Lastly, Adler focused on childhood and social interactions. He had a strong focus on inferiority complexes, their causes, and ways people deal with them....

The Glass Menagerie

...In The Glass Menagerie, Tennessee Williams creates a world full of delusion and fantasy in which the characters are able to ignore the present. Each character develops their own world, far away from reality where they escape to so often sometime it's as they don't realize it isn't real. May it be through the written word, beautiful lyrics and distracting figures, or looking in the past reliving happy times, these characters choose to create a world where they are each in control of their lives. Each family member in The Glass Menagerie lives in a fantasy world to escape the reality of their sad lives. The narrator, Tom, is a complex character. He finds his life to be restricting and boring. Tom feels, since his father left, a sense of responsibility for his mother and sister. Tom craves adventure and fun; he often has a warped sense of priorities. Every chance Tom gets while at work, he goes to the washroom and writes poetry. When Tom isn't working, and doesn't want to be at home, he again neglects his responsibility by going to the movies. This is seen when the lights go out and the Amanda finds that Tom hasn't paid the electric bill. “I go to the movies because - I like adventure. Adventure is something I don't have much of at work, so I go to the movies.” (1210) Though Tom seems bound to the petty world of supporting his family, his obsession with adventure leaves no time to concentrate on his responsibilities as the head of the household or at work. The matriarch of the...

Polintan, Sophia L. Jose, Stanielle Mannie M. I. Introduction Inferiority complex often used to mean low self-esteem is feeling of intense insecurity of not measuring up. An inferiority can be seen in negative or ”useless” reaction to problem in life. These reactions are useless because they do not solve the problem at hand, but only serve to guard one’s self-esteem by avoiding the task or by placing the blame for the failure outside of the individual’s control. Alfred Adler is one who experienced inferiority complex described that the feeling of inferiority is highly intensified the degree that he will never be able to compensate for his weakness. He believed that everyone started put experiencing feeling of inferiority in childhood, due to the inherently unequal position and psychological dependence experienced by children. Stemming from psychoanalytic branch of psychology, the idea first appeared among many Sigmund Freud’s works and later in the work f his colleague Carl Jung. Alfred Adler, founder of classical alderman psychology held that many neurotic symptoms could be traced to over compensation for the feeling of inferiority complex. The use of the term complex now is generally used to denote the group of emotionally toned...

...which our group noticed right away was the “Parent-child-relationship” and more specifically the “Father-son-relationship”. In the very beginning of the text we are told that the boy does not like his father (notice p. 534, lines 22-25) Several times in the short story it is outlined that Charlie is actually terrified of him. In contrary to this he adores his mother (see page 534, lines 25-27). Not until the father is taken away Charlie feels that he loves him (537 bottom). In our group we believe that this sudden feeling of love for the father is due to Charlie wanting his mother to himself. When talking about this with the other groups it led to a discussion whether or not this is a picture [jk4] of Freud’s Oedipus complex. Some did not agree on this since the complex occurs much earlier in life. Besides this some argued that Oedipus did not know his parents which Charlie does. But since Freud was just showing the main idea of the myth instead of using it literary,[jk5] the claim that the short story is also about “Freud’s Family Romance” is still supported. The fact that Freud was becoming very popular in England at...

Nerds

...from the world there is no harm in calling him/her nerd. But nerds take it to heart. This clearly indicates that they do not like being nerds and instead society has forced them to be one. Moreover, parents nurturing also play a very significant role in making a nerd. If a child from his/her early classes is locked in a room to study, study and study all the time. He/she will have no other option but to actually study all the time. He/she will have no other option but to actually study which will ultimately lead him/her to be a nerd. In addition, competition also plays an important role. The child because of his/her less innate potential might not be able to excel. Thus according to Adler, it will lead him into a state of inferiority complex which will depress him/her in the beginning and will turn him/her into a freak who studies all time to compete with others. However, a person who believes the otherwise that nerds are not forced to become nerd rather it is their personal choice might state that parents can only to a certain...

The fact that Freud was becoming very popular in England at that time could furthermore speak for this being the right interpretation. Therefore some agreed that Charlie could just be in the middle of an unsolved Oedipus complex. Another theme within the short story could be manhood. This theme is, however, slightly connected with the abovementioned seeing that this also has something to do with Charlie’s relationship to his father. As already mentioned he is very frightened in the beginning; both as to the situation itself but also as to his father. In our group we agreed that there are two sides of Charlie: one which is brave (the adult side), i.e. the one telling him to...

Example | Although too little sleep is an effect of stress, too little sleep can cause stress. | | a. Although too little sleep is an effect of stress | | b. too little sleep can cause stress | | | Explanation | The answer is b. The most important thought the author wants readers to understand is that too little sleep can cause stress. The dependent clause, which is introduced by although, tells readers information the author considers less important, that too little sleep is an effect of stress (that is, people who are stressed may not sleep well). Notice that if you read the dependent clause aloud to someone and stopped there, the listener would expect you to add something more.

Complexity and Strategy

...Part IV Emerging and Integrating Perspectives January-2007 MAC/ADSM Page-213 1403_985928_17_cha14 January-2007 MAC/ADSM Page-214 1403_985928_17_cha14 CHAPTER 14 Complexity Perspective Jean Boulton and Peter Allen Basic principles The notion that the world is complex and uncertain and potentially fast-changing is much more readily acceptable as a statement of the obvious than it might have been 30 years ago when complexity science was born. This emerging worldview sits in contradistinction to the view of the world as predictable, linear, measurable and controllable, indeed mechanical; it is the so-called mechanical worldview which underpins many traditional approaches to strategy development and general management theory (see Mintzberg, 2002 for an overview). The complexity worldview presents a new, integrated picture of the behaviour of organisations, marketplaces, economies and political infrastructures; these are indeed complex systems as we will explain below. Some of these behaviours are recognised in other theories and other empirical work. Complexity theory is unique in deriving these concepts through the lens of a coherent, self-consistent scientific perspective whilst nevertheless applying it to everyday, practical problems. These key principles can be summarised here: There is more than one possible future This is a very profound point. We are willing to accept the future may be too complicated to know, but the notion...
