Carbohydrate: consist of the elements carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) with
a ratio of hydrogen twice that of carbon and oxygen. Carbohydrates include sugars,
starches, cellulose and many other compounds found in living organisms. In their
basic form, carbohydrates are simple sugars or monosaccharides. These simple
sugars can combine with each other to form more complex carbohydrates. The
combination of two simple sugars is a disaccharide. Carbohydrates consisting of two
to ten simple sugars are called oligosaccharides, and those with a larger number are
called polysaccharides.
Sodium chloride: also known as salt, common salt, table salt, or halite, is an ionic
compound with the formula NaCl. Sodium chloride is the salt most responsible for
the salinity of the ocean and of the extracellular fluid of many multicellular
organisms. As the major ingredient in edible salt, it is commonly used as a
condiment and food preservative.
Proteins: also known as polypeptides) are organic compounds made of amino acids
arranged in a linear chain and folded into a globular form. The amino acids in a
polymer are joined together by the peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino
groups of adjacent amino acid residues. The sequence of amino acids in a protein is
defined by the sequence of a gene, which is encoded in the genetic code. In general,
the genetic code specifies 20 standard amino acids; however, in certain organisms
the genetic code can include selenocysteine—and in certain archaea—pyrrolysine.
Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CaCO3. It is a
common substance found in rock in all parts of the world, and is the main
component of shells of marine organisms, snails, pearls, and eggshells. Calcium
carbonate is the active ingredient in agricultural lime, and is usually the principal
cause of hard water. It is commonly used medicinally as a calcium supplement or as
an antacid, but excessive consumption can be hazardous.
Iron: chemical element with the symbol Fe (Latin: ferrum) and atomic number 26. It
is a metal in the first transition series. It is the most common element in the whole
planet Earth, forming much of Earth's outer and inner core, and it is the fourth most
common element in the Earth's crust. It is produced in abundance as a result of
fusion in high-mass stars, where the production of nickel-56 (which decays to iron)
is the last nuclear fusion reaction that is exothermic, becoming the last element to
be produced before collapse of a supernova leads to events that scatter the
precursor radionuclides of iron into space.
Vitamin: any of several organic substances that are necessary in small quantities for
normal health and growth in higher forms of animal life. Vitamins are distinct in
several ways from other biologically important compounds such as proteins,
carbohydrates, and lipids. Although these latter substances also are indispensable
for proper bodily functions, almost all of them can be synthesized by animals in
adequate quantities.
Sodium chloride: also known as salt, common salt, table salt, or halite, is an ionic
compound with the formula NaCl. Sodium chloride is the salt most responsible for
the salinity of the ocean and of the extracellular fluid of many multicellular
organisms. As the major ingredient in edible salt, it is commonly used as a
condiment and food preservative.
Titanium: chemical element with the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. Sometimes
called the "space age metal", it has a low density and is a strong, lustrous,
corrosion-resistant (including sea water, aqua regia and chlorine) transition metal
with a silver color.
