Polysaccharide

molecules are put under groups based on the way they behave and the similarities they share. There are four main types of macromolecules, namely proteins, nucleic acids, fats and membrane lipids and carbohydrates (which include monosaccharides and polysaccharides). (Alberts, Walter, Bray, Hopkin, Johnson, & Lewis, 2015) There are four smaller organic molecule families which are the primary components of macromolecules. These four molecules are the sugars, nucleotides, amino acids and fatty…

31. cis/trans isomers Isomers are compounds with a similar substance recipe however extraordinary structures. The structures of these isomers vary in the introduction of the two chloride particles around the Co3+ particle. In the trans isomer, the chlorides involve positions opposite each other in the octahedron. In the cis isomer, they possess contiguous positions. The distinction amongst cis and trans isomers can be recollected by taking note of that the prefix trans is utilized to portray…

include polysaccharide digestion, immune system development, defense against infections, synthesis of vitamins, fat storage, angiogenesis regulation, and behavior development (D 'Argenio 98-101). It would be expected that the bacteria that reside in the colon use the remainder of the food that is not digested and absorbed by an individual in the small intestine. As mentioned earlier one of the benefits of having bacteria in the gut is polysaccharide digestion, meaning that polysaccharides that…

wall of phospholipid molecules, consisting of hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails that swayed and looked like a mosaic. Our craft could not enter the cell directly through the semi-permeable membrane as it consisted of a negatively charged polysaccharide which was too large and was moving against the concentration gradient. “Hurry up Yasmin” yelled…

Purpose The main purpose of this experiment to learn about the organic molecule of the substances that we use daily with the common foods. The organic molecule that we use for this lab are monosaccharides of sugar, protein, starch, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. Introduction Carbohydrates are the organic compounds that are organized as the ring structures and always compose the carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms that represent by the structure of H2O. The carbohydrates are…

Chemistry is the field of science involving structures, composition, and properties of substances and matter in order learn how they interact with each other. However, disposing and making chemicals can cause hazard to the environment and wildlife. In “Chemistry: Green and Clean,” Jennifer Weeks builds an argument to persuade her audiences that green chemists are working cooperatively to develop a field of chemistry that can replace polluting technologies. Weeks uses alternative ways to…

I. Ganoderma lucidum is especially used to prevent cancer, as it is known to fight cancer tumors. As mentioned in the article, “Ganoderma lucidum in cancer research,” the three anti-cancer proteins found in Ganoderma lucidum are triterpenes, polysaccharides, and immunomodulatory proteins. Ganoderma lucidum II. Ganoderma lucidum is also used to treat heart diseases such as hypertension due to high blood pressure. There are four proteins found in Ganoderma lucidum that contribute to the lowering…

Once the organism attaches, it uses several other virulence factors to evade host immune system, such as a polysaccharide capsule, OmpU, and siderophores. The polysaccharide capsule allows the organism to evade opsonization and phagocytosis due to its slippery property as well as allows the organism to be resistant to bactericidal properties of serum and hide its immunogenic structures from…

electrophoresis is manipulating the highly negative charge held by DNA. When placed in an electric current, the negatively charged DNA will be drawn towards the positive charge. In the case of the agarose gel electrophoresis, an agarose gel, a polysaccharide matrix often used in separation techniques, (approximately 0.7-2% agarose) and buffer mixture acts…

The body and roles of the organ systems are interlinked; together they work in maintaining homeostasis. In the event of arduous or prolonged exercise, such as running a marathon. The body’s systems such as the, digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory and circulatory, must work together to meet the demands placed upon the runner’s body. Firstly, the process of the digestive system can be broken down into four sections, ingestion, digestion, absorption and assimilation (Toole, Toole and Toole,…
