They also occur as food reserves in the storage organs of plants and the liver and muscles of animals. They are an essential source of energy required for the various metabolic activities of living organisms. Plants are considerably more abundant in carbohydrates in comparison to animals. Other ca...
What are the functions of peroxisomes? Metabolism: Metabolism may be defined as vital chemical processes in living organisms that may involve the breaking down or building up of substances. For example, breaking down carbohydrates releases energy living organisms need to function. Building up proteins...
What are the subunits and functions of carbohydrates? What is the difference between ribose and deoxyribose? Identify the depicted base and tell whether it is found in DNA, RNA, or both. What small molecules does your body use to synthesize DNA?
Intestinal microbiota produces organic acids such as acetate, propionate, butyrate, and valerate through fermentation of dietary microbiota-accessible carbohydrates (MACs) that are non-digestible in the host colon but used by the microbes as an energy source. In the absence of dietary MACs, mucus-de...
protein is a material that includes amino acids, carbohydrates, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulphur. it is included in many diets. the type of nutrient found in meats is one example of a protein. q2 what are proteins and their function? proteins are large, complex ...

in which polysaccharides are transferred to specific amino acid residues in proteins by glycosyltransferases. A growing body of evidence suggests that glycosylation is essential for the unfolding of various functional activities in organisms, such as playing a key role in the regulation of protein funct...

Multicellular organisms are formed by specialized cells assembled in tissues. Individual cells contact and interact with other cells and with the extracellular matrix--a network of secreted proteins and carbohydrates that fills the intercellular spaces. The extracellular matrix helps cells to bind together...
Our approach to chemically image the developmental axis of the maize root using DESI-MSI reveals a range of molecules with differential enrichment patterns. In particular, we applied this technique to map lipids, carbohydrates, and metabolites across the developing root. We then explored the chemical...
