analyzed through fecal samples before and after the one-month program. Sanz found that with a gluten-free diet‚ the intake of polysaccharides and complex carbohydrates were greatly reduced which could be opportunistic to pathogens. The decrease in numbers was parallel to the decrease of healthy gut bacteria and increase in harmful gut bacteria. It was found that the polysaccharide intake went from an average intake of 117 grams to 63 grams with the new gluten free diet. Since complex carbohydrates are

All living cells have a cell membrane and it is probably the most important organelle of a cell. The cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid‚ proteins and carbohydrates. The phospholipids are arranged in a bilayer with the hydrophilic ends facing out and the hydrophobic ends facing the inside of bilayer. Membranes can contain phospholipids with different fatty acids which affects the strength and flexibility of the membrane. There are two different proteins in cell membranes. One is a protein

nucleus‚ and can be divided into bacteria and archaea. Proteus mirabilis is characterized by their motility‚ its ability to distinguish maltose‚ and its inability to distinguish lactose. Proteus has the ability to stretch itself out and secrete a polysaccharide when in contact with solid surfaces‚ in result making it extremely motile on items like medical equipment such as an indwelling urinary catheter. Proteus is part of the normal flora in the gastrointestinal tract and can also be found

Heteropolysaccharides: “the complex carbohydrates formed by combining carbohydrates with noncarbohydrates or carbohydrate derivatives; examples include pectin‚ lignin‚ glycoproteins‚ glycolipids‚ and mucopolysaccharides.” HETEROPOLYSACCHARIDES Heteropolysaccarides contain two or more different kind of monosaccharides. Usually they provide extracellular support for organisms of all kingdoms: the bacteria cell envelope‚ or the matrix that holds individual cells together in animal tissues‚

capable of creating a powerful and protective antibody response‚ could be used as H. influenzae vaccine candidates (Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases‚ 13th Edition‚ 2015‚ p: 119). Given the important role of the structural polysaccharide (PRP) of Hib in its virulence and immunity‚ this virulence factor has already been used as a vaccine candidate against Hib (Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases‚ 13th Edition‚ 2015‚ p: 119).

Metabolism “Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that happen in living organisms to maintain life. These processes allow organisms to grow and reproduce‚ maintain their structures‚ and respond to their environments” (Metabolism). Metabolism breaks down the food that we eat‚ transforming it into energy for our bodies. Metabolism is broken down into two categories Anabolism and Catabolism‚ which help aid in the chemical reaction process. Specific proteins in the body control the chemical

carbohydrates are consumed during a meal‚ catabolism originates in the mouth. The salivary enzyme α-amylase breaks down the carbohydrates through the hydrolysis of the α1->4 glycosidic bonds. This is followed by the further breakdown of the complex polysaccharides in the small intestine down to monosaccharides units in order for the glucose to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Mobilization of Lipids Lipids in the form of triaglycerols are a major source of energy storage. Initially‚ the lipids
