    molecules are often linked together to form medium-length chains called oligosaccharides‚ or very long chains called polysaccharides. The chemical and physical properties of monosaccharides and polysaccharides are different and can be detected with specific chemical tests. Glucose is an example of a monosaccharide that can be linked together in long chains to make a polysaccharide called starch. Even though starch is made up of glucose‚ in chemical tests the two

    monosaccharides‚ disaccharides and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides are the simplest of carbohydrates‚ they may contain as few as three carbons but the ones that have a key role in energy storage have six carbons. Disaccharides serve as transport molecules in plants and provide nutrition in animals; they are used by plants for transporting glucose around the plant as disaccharides are not easily metabolised‚ but disaccharides are usually consumed by humans and animals. Polysaccharides provide energy storage

    went about deriving his results by means of using two strains of Pneumoccocus (Streptococcus pneumonia) bacteria which he used to infect several mice. A type smooth strain and a type rough strain. The smooth strain has its components covered by a polysaccharide capsule‚ which gives it the ability to live in adverse conditions and divide rapidly through a process called Binary fission. Adverse conditions in the context of this experiment would mean “protection from white blood cells” The third line of

    Polymers have different structures. They also have different functions. Describe how the structures of different polymers relate to their function? Polymers a large molecules made up of a chain of smaller molecules‚ known as monomers. The monomers that a polymer is made up of decide its structure and therefore it’s function. These monomers are linked and coiled in a very specific manor giving the polymer a specific tertiary structure (an extensively coiled and linked polymer chain caused as a

    ABSTRACT   The hypothesis which states that the simpler the nature of substrate‚ the faster the rate of cellular respiration of yeast was tested using the smith fermentation tube method. The experiment used six smith fermentation tubes‚ distilled water and sugar substrates. It composed of six set-ups which used 15ml of 10% yeast suspension‚ 15 ml distilled water and 15 ml of their assigned sugar substrate namely: starch‚ lactose‚ sucrose glucose and fructose respectively. Set-up six was the
