### carbohydrate:

Polysaccharide
* All polysaccharides are hydrolyzed to monosaccharides prior to absorption.
* Most polysaccharides are secreted by diatoms
  - contain alcohol
  - make up cellulose
* Some polysaccharides are secreted by plants.
* Some polysaccharides derive from algas
  - green algas
  - obtain from juice
  - prevent cancer
  - reduce excretion
* Some polysaccharides stimulate activities
  - immune system activities
* Starches Starches are polymers of glucose.
* appear to work by indirectly activating healthy cells that engulf tumor cells.
* are an important part of the eukaryotic plasma membrane
  - carbohydrate polymers
  - carbohydrates of much greater molecular weight and complexity
* are complex sugars comprised of many monosaccharides
  - consisting of chains of the simple sugars
  - important for adhesion of cells to each other
* are long chains of simple sugars that contain several hydroxyl groups on each sugar
  - molecules made from many units joined together
  - many simple sugars bonded together
  - more hydrophobic if they have intra-molecular hydrogen bonds
  - probably the main source of carbohydrate in the colon
  - simply carbohydrate materials produced by soil organisms
* are the 'active' ingredients
  - most abundant dietary carbohydrate for all except very young animals
  - primary organic compounds
* can exist as free molecules
  - serve as structural components of cells
* enhance the immune system.
* is sugar
* lack directionality.
* left by the earthworms help the aggregation of the soil.
* produce an anti-inflammatory effect.
+ Biochemistry, Macromolecules, Carbohydrates
  * Carbohydrates include sugars and starches. Examples of monosaccharides are glucose and fructose. Polysaccharides are long molecules made from many units joined together. Examples are starch, glycogen, and cellulose. Carbohydrates have a number of functions, but the most important is to act as a ready source of energy for the body's metabolism. By breaking the chemical bonds in carbohydrates, energy is released and can be used by the body.

### carbohydrate | polysaccharide:

Cellulose
* Most cellulose makes up diets
  - plant cell walls
* Some cellulose finds in wood.
* acetate electrophoresis confirms prealbumin as the major component.
* acetate electrophoresis shows one band only, indicating A electrophoretic mobility
  - indicating Aelectrophoretic mobility
  - indicating albumin electrophoretic mobility
  - indicating alpha electrophoretic mobility
* comes from a family of carbohydrates known as polysaccharides
  - and constituent of the main cell wall
* contains lignin, which creates acid by-products as it deteriorates over the years
  - no asbestos, fiberglass or mineral fibers
  - nothing that is considered hazardous, and carries no hazardous warning messages
  - zero calories per gram
* decomposes rapidly and leaves little residue on the soil surface.
* derives from wood.
* gives structure to the cell wall.
* includes atoms.
* includes chemical chain
  - groups
* is chemical compounds
  - part of plants
* looks simple - just a linear polymer of glucose.
* shows up in many plant parts in combination with other molecular elements.
* treated with ozone shows a more pronounced photochromism than untreated cellulose.
