Figure 1. d-Glucose molecule shown as open chain and as a cyclic pyranose ring in the α and β configuration. The most nutritionally important and abundant monosaccharide is glucose, which is used as the major cell fuel in the human body and can be found unbound in body tissues and fluids...
For instance, galactose together with glucose forms lactose (milk sugar), which is a disaccharide. Lactose, the disaccharide of milk, consists of galactose joined to glucose by a -(1-4) glycosidic link. The joining of galactose and glucose is catalyzed by the enzymes lactase and β-...
Mannose and glucose were the only sugars found in the cell walls; much of the glucose was resistant to mild acid hydrolysis. These sugars together accounted for approximately 20% of the unfractionated cell walls of both strains. Glucose and acetylglucosamine were released from the cell walls of ...
(a) glucose (b) disaccharides (i.e. maltose) (c) simple sugars (d) fructose. In gluconeogenesis process A) Glucose is used for energy B) Glycogen is broken down to glucose C) Glucose is formed from amino acids D) Glycogen is synthesized from exc...
What is a substance composed of two monosaccharides bonded together called? Sucrose is formed when glucose is joined to fructose by a(n) ___. Why do disaccharides and oligosaccharides take longer to digest than monosaccharides? Glucose, fructose, sucrose, starch, and glycogen ar...
The paper presents the procedure for planning an experiment to create standard sets of reagents for a technetium-99m generator based on glucose derivatives. All stages are presented from researching the required quantities of a substance, a reducing agent, a stabilizer and auxiliary components to dev...
Plants are dependent on controlled sugar uptake for correct organ development and sugar storage, and apoplastic sugar depletion is a defense strategy against microbial infections like rust and mildew. Uptake of glucose and other monosaccharides is mediat
However, cockroaches learn fast from their environment and adapt rapidly. For example, a few years ago, roaches were found to have developed an aversion to glucose in the MAXFORCE® (Trademark of Bayer Environmental Science) bait stations. Here the solution was replace the glucose in the syste...
Which nitrogenous base pairs bond together in deoxyribonucleic acid? Which of the following is a monosaccharide? a. Fructose b. Galactose c. Glucose d. All of the above What molecule connects the sugars in a strand of DNA? Which type of molecular interaction stabilizes deoxyribonucleic acid? Wh...
Human breast cancer cell lines SKBR-3 and BT 474 were purchased from the American Type Tissue Culture Collection. BT 474 was maintained in DMEM with 4.5 g/l glucose, and SKBR-3 was maintained in McCoy's 5A. All cells lines were supplemented with 10% FBS and incubated at 37° C. in ...
