the branch of science concerned with the chemical and physico-
chemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms. 2. What is a cell? In biology, the smallest unit that can live on its own and that makes up all living organisms and the tissues of the body.A cell has three main parts: the cell membrane, the nucleus, and the cytoplasm. 3. Uses for the D-glucose D-glucose is a most commonly occurring isomer of glucose used as a carbohydrate supplementation in case of nutrient deprivation and metabolic disorders, such as hypoglycemia. 4. What are carbohydrates? Carbohydrates, or carbs, are sugar molecules. Along with proteins and fats, carbohydrates are one of three main nutrients found in foods and drinks 5. Types of monosaccharides. The three most common monosaccharides are glucose, fructose, and galactose. 6. Benefits of Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are your body's main source of energy: They help fuel your brain, kidneys, heart muscles, and central nervous system 7. What are disaccharides? any of a class of sugars whose molecules contain two monosaccharide residues. 8. Types of Disaccharides The three major disaccharides are sucrose, lactose, and maltose. Sucrose, which is formed following photosynthesis in green plants, consists of one molecule of glucose and one of fructose bonded via an α-,β-linkage. 9. Types of polysaccharides. Polysaccharides are categorized into two types:Homopolysaccharides and Heteropolysaccharides. 10. Difference between Starch and Glycogen Starch is a storage form of energy in plants. It contains two polymers composed of glucose units: amylose (linear) and amylopectin (branched). Glycogen is a storage form of energy in animals. It is a branched polymer composed of glucose units.
