Polysaccharide

test. These three tests are going to examine different properties of macromolecules such as their bonds, and functional groups to identify the solution as one of the four macromolecules. The iodine test is used to determine the presence of polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen in the solution (Harisha, 2006). If the solution turns blue/black in colour…

Five percent albumin should not be given to patients with heart failure or severe anemia. Low-molecular weight dextran contains polysaccharide and used for patients who has experienced burns, hemorrhage, surgery, or trauma. This type of solution is given during surgery because it inhibits the thickening of blood. High-molecular weight dextran also contains polysaccharides and no electrolytes. It is not recommended for patients in hemorrhagic shock. Hydroxyethyl Starches is another form of…

The history of vaccines and immunization began in 1796 when Edward Jenner, a doctor living in Berkeley, England, performed the world’s first vaccination (Stern & Markel, 2005). Jenner “took pus from a cow pox lesion on a milkmaid’s hand” and “inoculated an eight-year-old boy” (Stern & Markel, 2005, p.612). Six weeks later, Jenner again inoculated two sites on the boys arm and he was unaffected. This was the beginning of vaccines and expanded greatly in the late 19th and early twentieth…

need nutrients and waste was overwhelming. Although the organic molecules were the easiest to break down, they still acquired a lot of energy since they were macromolecules. The complex molecules of carbohydrates, monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides, phospholipids, triglycerides, and cellulose stood in conversation discussing their unique makeup and creation with one another waiting for their next assignment in the body The macromolecules of the food passed through the body and were…

Protein and Carbohydrate in Bodybuilding Part 3Carbohydrate Requirements There are two main groups of carbohydrate foods: Starchy Foods Starchy carbohydrate foods are broken down more slowly into glucose than sugary foods, so there is a more gradual absorption into the blood. Examples of starchy foods are bread, breakfast cereals, potatoes, pasta, noodles, rice and biscuits. Starchy carbohydrate foods can be subdivided into high fibre and lower fibre ones. The high fibre ones, like wholemeal…

The liver which is the largest organ in the body produces bile and stores glucose. Likewise, the pancreas produces pancreatic juices which contain sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) and digestive enzymes for all types of food. The gallbladder, on the other hand, is a storage for bile that is produced by the liver. This information can be found on pages 649-651. These answers are correct because the bile produced by the liver emulsifies fat and blood glucose remains constant. Nonetheless, when the bile…

lab, we had an experiment on ubiquity. This lab wanted to prove the microbiologist that on this planet has microbes everywhere. To understand more about ubiquity experiment, an important terms need to be explained. Agar is gelatinous- complex polysaccharide obtained from red algae. An agar plate is a Petri dish that has an agar and nutrients used to culture microorganisms. Also, agar can be expand by adding other nutrients such as glucose and other…

weakened immune systems such as those with autoimmune disease or like our case study, a 60 year old patient having severe chronic alcoholism. Klebsiella Pneumonia has evolved ways to overcome host immunity for example possessing a capsule composed of polysaccharide. This capsule can protect the bacterium from being phagocytosed by granulocytes, and can also inhibit the activation of complement components thus prevents bactericidal factors causing bacterial cell death. Furthermore, Klebsiella…

At OMP Primary Care Clinic, it is a standard practice to update each patient’s medication list at each visit. The medication list is always updated because the provider needs to see what medications the patient is currently taking; this can play a valuable role in the patient’s treatment plan because some medications can interfere with others. I have been able to update medications at the clinic every time I room a patient. Also, the clinic always prints out each patient’s medication list at the…

An infection happens when a foreign organism attacks a human body. There are different types of organisms that can cause us harm, for example; Viruses, Bacteria and Fungi. Not all infections are the same; some are mild while some can end up being life threatening. Also, infections can be contagious; they can be transmitted by a variety of ways, for example; skin contact, airborne particles, touching an object that an infected person has touched. One of the very common and effective ways to…
