have the general formula [CH2O]n (where n is the number of repeating units). The main function of carbohydrates is short-term energy storage (such as glucose). A secondary function is intermediate-term energy storage (as in starch for plants and glycogen for animals). In addition‚ some carbohydrates are involved as structural components in cells‚ such as cellulose in the cell walls of plants and chitin in the exoskeleton of arthropods. Sugars are structurally the simplest carbohydrates. They are

Sugarcane provides glucose to the body‚ which is stored as glycogen and burned by the muscles‚ whenever they require energy. Therefore‚ it is considered to be one of the best sources of energy. If you have been exposed to heat and physical activity for too long‚ drink sugarcane juice. It will help hydrate the body

compounds. Nutrients are classified in 5 major groups: proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ fats‚ vitamins‚ and minerals. One of the five nutrients is carbohydrate. The carbohydrate group principally consists of sugar‚ starch‚ dextrin‚ cellulose‚ and glycogen. In more basic terms‚ carbohydrates are sugars needed by human and other living organisms. Some types of foods that contain carbohydrates would be candies‚ ice cream‚ fruit juice‚ soda‚ chocolate bars etc. Lastly‚ vitamins are connected to

vessels found in plants). Water can be used in this way to transport many substances: nutrients‚ excretory products (eg urea‚ ammonia)‚ hormones and digestive juices can all be transported by using water as a solvent. Molecules such as starch and glycogen which are hydrophobic are not soluble and therefore are ideal for storage. In the digestive system many polymers and dimmers need to be broken down into smaller molecules by the process of hydrolysis. Water is used in hydrolysis reactions to separate

Polysaccharides- Storage or structural macromolecules made from a few hundred to a few thousand monosaccharides. Formation of glycogen and cellulose by condensation reactions to form glycosidic bonds: These are formed when two monosaccharides are condensed together. One monosaccharide loses an H atom from carbon atom number 1 and the other loses an OH group from carbon 4 to form

When the ulcer makes its way through the muscularis mucosa this would create a way for pathogens to enter. He could also loss control of defecation.
