3. Importance of Carbohydrates in the Human Body:Carbohydrates play several crucial roles in the human body: - Energy Production: Carbohydrates are the body's primary source of energy. They are broken down into glucose, which is then used in cellular respiration to produce ATP (adenosine triphosp...

Just like the mitochondrial matrix, the stroma of chloroplast also contains a double-stranded circular DNA, 70S ribosomes, and enzymes which are required for the synthesis of carbohydrates and proteins. Chromoplasts –The chromoplasts include fat-soluble, carotenoid pigments like xanthophylls, ...
sunlight is used to convert molecules ofcarbon dioxide(CO2) andwater(H2O) intocarbohydrates. Between all these organelles is the space in the cytoplasm called thecytosol. The cytosol contains an organized framework of fibrous molecules thatconstitutethecytoskeleton, which gives a cell its shape, ...
Cell, in biology, the basic membrane-bound unit that contains the fundamental molecules of life and of which all living things are composed. A single cell may be a complete organism in itself, such as a bacterium, or it may acquire a specialized function
With very few exceptions, all cells are enveloped by an extracellular matrix composed of proteins , carbohydrates , and other substances. Owing to its exceptional strength and its ability to control cell shape, the extracellular matrix of eubacteria, algae, fungi, and plants is called the cell ...
The zona fasiculata secretes hormones called glucocorticoids that influence the metabolism of carbohydrates , including glucose . The glucocorticoids include hydrocortisone, corticosterone, and cortisone. In addition to regulating metabolism, these steroids provide resistance to stress and suppress the ...
The endoplasmic reticulum is a folded membrane attached to the outer membrane of the nucleus. The synthesis of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins takes place here. Ribosomes that produce proteins are attached to theroughendoplasmic reticulum and the proteins are sent back to the nucleus or the _Go...
Lysosomes and lipids were observed in Gr, while carbohydrates were the most abundant energy substrate in H. Both hemocytic cell types, mainly Gr, were capable to ingest particles and yield superoxide (P > 0.05). The present study shows for the first time the cell types, abundance and ...
