Polysaccharide

Vaccines prepare the immune system to fight disease causing germs. Individuals can construct immunity in two ways; by getting sick from the virus or getting vaccinated. When bacteria or viruses enter the body, the immune system responds by making protein molecules called antibodies. These antibodies take on the task of fighting off the foreign invaders to protect against an infection. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “A healthy individual can produce millions of…

In order for the fermentation process to occur, the carbohydrates from starch is converted from disaccharides and polysaccharides into glucose though liquefaction and saccharification. The fermentation of monosaccharide is further carried out under anaerobic conditions, where the temperature is kept between 18 and 35 degrees and at a pH between 4 and 7. These conditions…

vaccination was made with a harmless polysaccharide (sugar) coating on it until these Morgan and his fellow colleagues begun to realize that in cases of young babies and toddlers, their vaccination was harming them. This is because toddlers and babies do not have the fully developed immune systems that can process this type of sugar coating. After realizing their mistake, Morgan and his fellow doctors ceased to make their vaccination pill with the polysaccharide coating. Morgan was able to…

adults emerge out, they will create exit holes on the wood surfaces and copulate. After copulation, female adult will search for suitable oviposition sites by nibbling on the wood surface to access the food quality (starch, sugars, disaccharides, polysaccharides, protein) and wood moisture content. Species such as Lyctus spp. were observed to be seasonal due to availability of higher starch content on ash and oak felled at end of winter compared to trees felled at end of summer.…

Evidence of a reaction was present as a color change in the solution appeared immediately after the sodium iodine was dropped into the different carbohydrates. 2. The structure of starch, cellulose, and glycogen is that they three are all polysaccharides. All polysaccharides are very long, have many separate branches, and take a chain like shape. 3. The purpose of the carbohydrate plus water tests was to provide a control for the experiment. If that cellulose and water reacted to any of the…

Human health effects caused by DINP Diisononyl phthalate (DINP) is a phthalate ester that is commonly used as a plasticizer to make softness and flexibility to polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products, such as children’s toys. There are many health effects of DINP migrating from children’s toys during mouthing activities. Some concerns are on the kidney and liver, it causes decrease in body weight, an increase in liver weight and and changes in hypertrophy. If toys find their way into children’s…

partial or complete deficiency of acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA), an enzyme involved in the breakdown of glycogen into simple sugars. Mutations in the gene coding for GAA, prevent enzymatic activity of α-glucosidase, which results in toxic build up of polysaccharide inside lysosomes, and leads to damage and debilitation of organs and tissues, primarily skeletal and cardiac muscles. Individuals with both copies of the altered gene are diagnosed with the disease, while individuals with only one copy…

2010). Phellinus linteus (P. linteus), Phellinus gilvus (P. gilvus) and P. baumii are medicinal mushrooms belonging to the Hymenochaetaceae basidiomycetes family (Hwang et al. 2004), which is a source of many antitumor or immunostimulating polysaccharides and has been utilized in medicine for many human diseases in several Asian countries (including Korea) for a long time. A research regarding P. linteus demonstrates that it possesses antitumor(Kim et al. 2004), immunomodulating(Kim et al. 2004)…

IV. Pathogenesis of Staphylococcus aureus A. Mode of Pathogenicity Staphylococcus aureus is both a commensal bacterium and a versatile pathogen. It is commensal because it can harmlessly colonize in the nares, axillae, vagina, pharynx, or damaged skin surfaces (Jenkins et al. 2015). Commensal bacteria supports the superficial layer of our body from pathogenic bacteria. For instances, S. aureus produces bacteriocins (toxins created by bacteria) that impedes pathogenic staphylococcal organism…
