Vocabulary: carbohydrate‚ disaccharide‚ lipid‚ monosaccharide‚ polysaccharide‚ protein‚ starch As you go through this gizmo‚ think about the major nutrients we get from our food and how these nutrients are used by your body. For example‚ you learned in your lesson that carbohydrates (simple sugars and starch) come from

Treatment of Antibiotic Pharmaceutical Wastewater Using a Rotating Biological Contactor One of the treatment of the wastewater is the treatment of antibiotic pharmaceutical wastewater using a rotating biological contactor. For your information‚ Rotating Biological Contactors (RBC) are effective for treating wastewater‚ while they are rarely reported to be used for treating antibiotic pharmaceutical wastewater (APW). Next‚ the biological treatment processes have been widely used in wastewater treatment

In biology‚ there are four major biological macromolecules that are found in the cell‚ carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ nucleic acid‚ and proteins. Biological macromolecules are also known as organic molecules. Biological macromolecules are very large molecules that are of a key importance to living organisms. Most biological macromolecules are built by joining smaller molecule subunits. Carbohydrates are large groups of organic compounds found in foods such as sugars‚ starches‚ glucose‚ fructose‚ galactose

is a disaccharide of distinction because it’s the basic sugar we use at home as table sugar (Mader‚ 2010). Lactose is the disaccharide found in milk and dairy products. Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides. Some of these function as short term energy sources. When an organism requires energy‚ the polysaccharide is broken down to release two sugar molecules (Mader‚ 2010). Plants store glucose in starch in the form of amylase and amylopectin. Animals store glucose as glycogen which

BIOMOLECULES 1.What are macromolecules? Give examples. Macromolecules are large complex molecules that occur in colloidal state in intercellular fluid. They are formed by the polymerization of low molecular weight micromolecules. Polysaccharides‚ proteins‚ and nucleic acids are common examples of macromolecules. 2. Illustrate a glycosidic‚ peptide and a phospho-diester bond. (a) Glycosidic bond is formed normally between carbon atoms‚ 1 and 4‚ of neighbouring monosaccharide units. (b) Peptide

starting material for cellular respiration‚ and it is the main product of photosynthesis. Complex carbohydrates are known as polysaccharides. Polysaccharides are formed by linking innumerable monosaccharides. Among the most important polysaccharides are the starches‚ which are composed of hundreds or thousands of glucose units linked to one another. Two other important polysaccharides are glycogen and cellulose. Glycogen is also composed of thousands of glucose units‚ but the units are bonded in a different

Biochemistry- The Basics An Atom is the basic unit of a chemical element ( smallest unit for measuring chemical & physical properties) Smallest particle of an element is an atom A Particle is a small portion of matter Matter is composed of elements___ Matter makes up everything in the universe. An Element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down into a simpler substance. ex. carbon‚ hydrogen‚ etc A molecule is a group of atoms bounded together ex O2 A chemical compound

technologies to improve and reinforce these biomaterials’ mechanical and shape stability (Stratton‚ Shelke‚ Hoshino‚ Rudraiah & Kumbar‚ 2016; Alaribe‚ Manoto & Motaung‚ 2016). A common natural polymer is a polysaccharide which presents good hemocompatibility properties. Chitin is a common natural polysaccharide and its fully or partially deacetylated form is chitosan.

Cellulose Cellulose is an organic compound with the formula (C6H10O5)n‚ a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to many thousands of β(1→4) linked D-glucose units. Cellulose is an important structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants‚ many forms of algae and the oomycetes. Some species of bacteria secrete it to form biofilms. Cellulose is the most abundant organic polymer on Earth. The cellulose content of cotton fiber is 90%‚ that of wood is 40–50% and
