It is a polysaccharide that functions as a carbohydrate store and is an important part of the human diet used as an energy source. It is a polymer of glucose sugar which means it is composed of many glucose molecules linked in a chain. Plants store the starch instead of simple sugars. Cellulose is an insoluble substance which is the main part of plant cell walls and vegetable fibres such as cotton. It is also a polysaccharide consisting of chains of glucose monomers.

Storage Lipids Page: 349 Difficulty: 2 Ans: B Biological waxes are all: A) trimesters of glycerol and palmitic acid. B) esters of single fatty acids with long-chain alcohols.
These tablets, taken orally during the intake of dairy products, help those people who have digestive tract disorder and cannot tolerate lactose. Other than cheese, buttermilk, and yogurt, lactic starter cultures are also used to help prepare or manufacture a wide variety of food products such as sour dough bread, pickles, and sausages. The main (starter) cultures in yogurt are Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. The function of the starter cultures is to ferment lactose (milk sugar) to produce lactic acid. The increase in lactic acid decreases pH and causes the milk to clot, or form the soft gel that is characteristic of yogurt.
Treating Starch Starch and cellulose are two very similar polymers as they are both made from the same monomer called glucose, and have the same glucose-based repeat units. The only difference is that in starch, all the glucose repeat units are oriented in the same direction. However in cellulose, each successive glucose unit is rotated 180 degrees around the axis of the polymer backbone chain, relative to the last repeat unit. (http://www.pslc.ws/macrog/starlose.htm ) Ethanol preparation from cellulose, starch, and sugar that contain raw materials, involves a few general steps. First, is the pre-treatment, which is the chemical or physical conversion of a raw material to a hydrolysable substrate.
The Role of Fat and it's importance in our diet !1 LIPIDS • Lipids are non soluble molecules that include fats, waxes, sterols, & phospholipids. Lipids main function is storing energy, sending chemical messages in cells, and are components in cell membranes. Lipids make up adipose tissue which is a connective tissue that is made up of lipid cells called adipocytes. Lipids can also be metabolized leading to a large amount of ATP (energy in the body) production. When Lipids are broken down they are broken into a glycerol molecule and fatty acids.
Nevertheless, the class results suggest that glucose is the most effective respiratory medium for growing of yeast cells while sucrose remains the least growth-promoting respiratory substrate. C3, C4, C5 The process of cell division in all fungi (including yeast cells) is ‘budding’. It involves a division of a grown cell (which has reached its’ critical size) into two daughter cells. A weakening of the cell wall and along with the tension exerted by turgor pressure extrusion of cytoplasm into an area bounded by new cell wall material is allowed. Yeast cells, just like all respiring cells, require energy in the form of ATP for cell division/growth.
For those people that count calories, almond milk has the advantage. However, in proteins soy milk has 7g versus only 1g in the almond milk. At this point both have 1 point. In the sugar and fat, both of them are around the same, but because the vanilla flavoring, sugar can be high in both. Usually is lower in almond milk.
Deficiency of the enzyme lactase (common in adult mammals) prevents cleavage of the glycosidic link in lactose during digestion. Instead, anaerobic bacteria in the large intestine ferment this sugar, producing gas, abdominal discomfort and bloating. What gas is formed and what metabolic byproduct(s) also are released into the large intestine? b) Briefly describe the differences between the polysaccharides….. i) amylopectin and glycogen ii) amylose and chitin 2. (10 points) The catabolic cycle called glycolysis is the most universal energy-producing metabolic pathway for organisms that live on or near the earth’s surface.
Each of these is converted in a number of steps to pyruvate (another 3-carbon sugar), a process that releases some energy, and a hydrogen atom, which is transferred for use in the respiratory chain by the co-enzyme NAD. The Pyruvate molecules then diffuse into the mitochondrial matrices within the cell. They are then converted to acetyl co-enzyme A (a two-carbon compound) with a Carbon Dioxide (CO2) molecule and a Hydrogen atom (taken up by co-enzyme NAD again) given off. Acetyl Co-enzyme A then enters the Krebs cycle. In this metabolic cycle the 2-carbon acetyl compound dissociates from the co-enzyme A and is converted into a 4-carbon oxaloacetate compound, which in turn is converted into a 6-carbon citrate compound.
Many lipids can are able to cross the membrane on their own, the lipids that cannot move across on their own get help by permeation which is the diffusion through a barrier of a substance of solution. The body can synthesize most of the fats it needs from the diet. There are two essential fatty acids however, that cannot be synthesized and must be obtained from food. These acids are called linolenic and linoleic acid. These basic fatty acids are used to build specialized fats called omega 3 and omega 6.
