... products in the digestion of starch. Some foods contain carbohydrates in the form of sugars. These are the simple sugars, such as sucrose (cane sugar) or lactose (milk sugar), that must be processed into smaller units. Occasionally, the simplest form of sugar, a monosaccharide such as glucose, is present in food. These monosaccharides do not require digestion. Proteins are polymers composed of one or more amino acids. When they are digested, they produce free amino acids and ammonia.

... to diagnose because no one is certain of what actually causes the disorder. Lawrence Weathers thinks that the behavior of an ADD or ADHD child might occur because of stress due to school, parents, or friends before the child is emotionally equipped to handle the situation. He calls ADD a neurological disorder that affects the motivational system (42, 20). Another theory of what causes ADD is the low amount of glucose metabolism in the brain. ADD affects two important parts of the brain that are connected with the ability to pay attention and the ability to regulate motor activity (Phelan 46). Many people believe that bad parenting, physical brain damage, diet, and a ...

... the route of HIV transmission from an infected male to the female during intercourse. The vaginal mucosa has no glands; it is lubricated by the cervical mucous glands. Its epithelial cells release large amounts of glycogen, which is anaerobically metabolized to lactic acid by resident bacteria. Consequently, the pH of a woman’s vagina is normally quite acidic. This acidity helps keep the vagina healthy & free of infection, but it is also hostile to sperm. Although vaginal fluid of adult woman is acidic, it tends to be alkaline in adolescents, predisposing sexually active teenagers to sexually transmitted diseases. In virgins, the mucosa near the distal vag ...

... these theories Jean Piaget's cognitive developmental theory has been a major influential model since its origination in the 1920s (Beard, 1969 ). Piaget's theory has a biological perspective to cognitive development and focuses on broad, qualitative stages. Another acknowledged theory is the information- processing theory which, approaches cognitive development from a computer accentuated perspective, and focuses on the more narrow, continuous, quantitative changes (Westen, 1996). Though these theories approach cognitive development from different angles, their advancements into how a child constructs thought and thinks are not totally at odds with one another as ...

... choice, and usually exploratory in nature. Typically, it takes place in rather young people and is largely dependent on: first, the availability of opportunity to engage in the behavior, second, having a fairly high degree of curiosity about the effects of the behavior; third, in finding it a way of expressing either conformity to the behavior or others (such as parents, older siblings or peers), forth, as in "Miller and Dollar's" explanation of Observational Learning, The Copying behavior effect. This research is to examine the effects of parental smoking (behavior), has, on the decision of teens to smoke cigarettes. Due to prior studies using global measures ...
