This may not be a very helpful answer but it is a suggestion... Usually, the time suggested to bake a frozen pie is listed somewhere on the packaging. If not, baking a pie usually starts with preheating the oven and monitoring the pie as it cooks. Another way to cook a frozen pie would be heating it in the microwave oven. Again you'd monitor the pie until it seemed ready to serve. These suggestions were posted by acefairytopia and can all be used..unless of course you like icey pie.

How do you bake macoroni?

Put macoroni in a pot, boil it with water and when it's cooked, take it out of the pot. Put cheese on it, and melt the cheese [in a microwave] or in an oven.

You probably want to make a cheese sauce to go with your macaroni. Melt some butter in a pan, add flour and mix to a paste, gradually add milk and stir or whisk to form a smooth sauce, heat and keep stirring until the sauce has thickened and the flour has cooked (add more liquid if needed). You now have a roux sauce. Add grated cheese ( I use a tasty cheddar) salt and pepper, and a touch of spice ( nutmeg, paprika, cayenne or chili powder depending on you taste) and maybe dried herbs. Add your cooked macaroni and serve or place in a shallow baking dish cover with grated cheese and place under a grill until the cheese is bubbling.

What is the function of sugar in a cell?

When we talk about sugar, we use the scientific word carbohydrates, which are a source of energy in our body. they have three major biochemical roles:

-They are a source of stored energy that can be released in a form usable by organisms

-They are used to transport stored energy within complex organisms

-They serve as carbon skeletons that can be rearranged to form new molecules.

(Sadava 2011)

In our body, they are broken down in a series of chemical reactions to form energy, through glycolysis. there are 2 kind of pathways to form this energy from sugar: aerobic pathway and anaerobic pathways. In an aerobic pathway, oxygen is needed to break down completely the sugar into CO2 and water and energy in form of ATP (cellular respiration). In an anaerobic respiration, oxygen is not needed and sugar is broken down to lactic acid or alcohol and CO2 (fermentation). this is the main function of sugar in our body. Big sugar like glycogen, store glucose in the liver and muscles, serving as an energy storage. This glycogen is later broken down to liberate the stored energy. Therefore, sugar can store energy and give energy.

In baking cookies, white sugar makes them crisper. The darker the sugar, the softer the cookie. In sauces, like teriyaki, it makes very little difference, I use whatever I have on hand. Cakes that are dark, no difference; lighter cakes stick to the recipe, you may taste the molasses in the darker sugar.
