Polysaccharide

carbohydrates increase the amount of body fat, because excess carbohydrate is stored in the body as fat, thus, it is important not to overdo the intake of such foods. Carbohydrates can be classified into three groups: monosaccharide, disaccharides and polysaccharides. Monosaccharide is simple sugars, and its main representatives are glucose (manufactured by plants during photosynthesis), fructose (found in honey) and lactose (found in milk). The union of two monosaccharaides forms disaccharides,…

In the past, most molds(fungi) were classified within the Deuteromycota but now can be classified into divisons of zygomycota and ascomycota. Slime molds are different they are now classified into protista. Molds cause biodegradation of natural materials, which can be unwanted when it becomes food spoilage or damage to property. Typically, molds secrete hydrolytic enzymes, mainly from the hyphal tips. These enzymes degrade complex biopolymers such as starch, cellulose and lignin into simpler…

Autism spectrum disorder and autism are both terms to describe a group of developmental disorders of the brain. These disorders are measured in varying degrees by difficulties in social interaction, communication and repetitive behaviors. There is no one type of autism, just like there is no one cause. Experts are still unsure about all the causes of autism, but it appears to be a combination of multiple circumstances. These circumstances include environmental, biological and genetic factors. In…

covalently linked molecule. Polysaccharides are polymers consisting of chains of monosaccharide or disaccharide units. Monosaccharides such as glucose and disaccharides such as sucrose are small molecules. Maltose is made by combining two glucose units together. Glucose has six carbons, six oxygens, and twelve…

CRP recognition of phosphocholine on microorganisms which is play a key role in our protection against, a more significant role perhaps the binding CRP to PC in the injured membranes (Li et al., 1994). The interaction of human CRP with cell wall polysaccharide (CWPS) has possibility to activate the classical complement pathway through interaction with C1q component, an activity which cannot be achieved via simple PC-bound (Volanakis, 1982). Binding of CRP to sugar phosphate is suggested to bind…

2.0 Literature Review This literature review section will describe the fundamental or important topic of this study. 2.1 Hard capsule Capsule, tablet, syrup is among the type of oral administration drug delivery carrier. The capsule is a solid dosage form of drug delivery, which derived from degradable polymer film. The capsules can be divided into hard and soft capsule types. The capsules can be segmented by source of raw materials, and end users. The segmentation by source of raw…

Now onto the fresh information, the Dehydration Synthesis process and the Macromolecules. I’ll start with the Macromolecules. These molecules are the four molecules all living things need to survive. The four molecules are Proteins, DNA, Carbohydrates, and Lipids. Each of these molecules is made of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen at the very least. Proteins have Nitrogen as an added element, and DNA has Phosphate and Nitrogen. The base structure of each molecule has a carbon skeleton. This means…

2011). Pathogen can be divide into two groups: with polysaccharide capsule and without (Agrawal and Murphy, 2011). H. influenzae can cause diseases such as otitis media in children, sinusitis, conjunctivitis, pneumonia, bacteremia and meningitis (Agrawal and Murphy, 2011). Pathogen have the ability to colonize, penetrate mucous membranes and enter the blood stream. Colonization is facilitated by polyribosylribitol phosphate (PRP) capsular polysaccharide, by presents of fimbriae and by IgA…

used in this regard but mushrooms are most important. Previous studies has reported the antioxidant activity of mushroom specially Morchella esculenta. Mycelia of Morchella esculenta possess beta-carotene and linoleic acid (Mau et al., 2004), polysaccharides and steroids (Meng et al., 2011; Kim et al., 2011; Gang et al., 2013), fatty acids, phenolic compounds (Mau et al., 2004; Ferreira et al., 2009; Reis et al., 2012; Leal et al., 2013), methanolic extract of fruiting body (Heleno et al., 2013)…

Abstract: Amylase in the body is used to break down polysaccharides into monosaccharides. The monosaccharides are simple sugars that are used to give the body energy. This effect was investigated in an experiment designed to show the breaking down of starch solution. A water bath was used to heat water up to 60oc. Pieces of dialysis tubing were wet and had starch solution put inside. Half of the measuring cylinders were filled with 60oc water, and the other half with 25oc water. Tests of the…
