Polysaccharide

In these studies, polysaccharides were firstly isolated from apple pomace and subject to sequential enzymatic hydrolysis or fermentation37-40. The resulting oligosaccharides include glucooligosaccharides, xylooligosaccharides, arabinooligosaccharides, and oligogalacturonides.…

oligosaccharides. Monosaccharides, disaccharides, and oligosaccharides associate together and form long chains of repeating units called polysaccharides which are the most predominant form of carbohydrates. Polysaccharides are broken down, modified, and fed into…

carbohydrate resulted in no color change from its original yellow/brown color, showing a negative reaction. In both the Iodine and Benedict’s test, a disaccharide solution tested negatively due to the fact that there was no color change in either test. A polysaccharide solution displayed a negative reaction to the Benedict’s test, but the solution portrayed a positive result to the Iodine test due to a color change to black. So, from this data collected, we can gather that in order to contain…

Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (B. thetaiotaomicron) is a gram-negative obligate anaerobe that is found in the gastrointestinal tract of humans. B. thetaiotaomicron is a largely found in the human digestive system to aid in the digestion of complex polysaccharides that our body has trouble breaking down on its own. The main function of B. thetaiotaomicron…

contain extra sugar that eventually ends up being stored as fat. In lab, we built polysaccharides. These polysaccharides contain multiple sugars opposed to a disaccharide, which is only composed of two monosaccharides. In a low carbohydrate diet, it is important to stay away from products that contain many polysaccharides because polysaccharides contain more sugar, hence resulting in weight gain. An example of a polysaccharide that people should stay away from if they are on a low-carbohydrate…

Macromolecules are of great interest to the study of anatomy and physiology due to the fact that they carry out most functions of a cell providing it with life. They provides structural support, a source of stored fuel, the ability to store and retrieve genetic information, and ability to speed biochemical reactions (Prakash, 2008). There are four main types of macromolecules including proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acid and lipids. This essay is specifically on the study of carboyhdrates as…

organisms that respire as it is one of the substrates needed for respiration (Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water + ATP). The three basic key of a monosaccharide are Glucose, Galactose and Fructose; these form the building blocks for essential polysaccharides that are important for sustaining…

3.1. Chemical composition and monosaccharide analysis Polysaccharide molecules are linked together by water molecules through hydrogen bonds in an aqueous solution. Adding ethanol into aqueous solution of polysaccharide initially dehydrate polysaccharides, enhance intra-molecular hydrogen bonding, cause conformational change and aggregation of polysaccharide molecules, and eventually leads to the precipitation of macromolecular chains, and the following addition of alcohol solvent gradually…

(Timberlake, 2006). When only a few of these monosaccharide are linked together, they create oligosachharides. If many of the monosaccharides are bonded, they create polysaccharides. These are considered complex carbohydrates. A polysaccharide which is made up of amylose and amylopectin would be starch (Timberlake, 2006). This type of polysaccharide contains many glucose units…

Experimental Design: We will determine the effect of HIV-1 Tat on the antibody type and production in response to influenza vaccine. We chose influenza vaccine and pneumococcal vaccine to differentiate the effects between T cell dependent and T cell independent humoral responses. These are also suggested to individuals who are immunocompromised, especially people infected with HIV-1. For this purpose, C5BL6/J mice will be treated with HIV-1 Tat for one dose a week until 3 weeks. On week 4, all…
