Carbohydrates have two major functions in plants and animals: they serve as fuel and building material. Plants store most of their energy in the form of starch. Starch is a polysaccharide (consisting of several conjoined sugars). Synthesizing starch enables the plant to stockpile surplus glucose‚ and since glucose is a major cellular fuel‚ starch represents stored energy. The sugar can later be withdrawn by hydrolysis‚ which breaks the bonds between monomers. Animals‚ in turn‚ have enzymes that

Synthetic Fibers Industry Synthetic fibers are the result of extensive research by scientists to improve on naturally occurring animal and plant fibers. In general‚ syntheticfibers are created by forcing‚ usually through extrusion‚ fiber forming materials through holes (called spinnerets) into the air‚ forming a thread. Before synthetic fibers were developed‚ artificially manufactured fibers were made from cellulose‚ which comes from plants. These fibers are called cellulose fibers. Raw materials:

Copper vs. Fiber Modern telecommunication networks rely primarily on two types of cable. Older copper cables have been replaced in many cases by fiber optic "light pipes‚" first in undersea cables and major intercity trunks‚ and later directly to many homes and businesses. Principles Copper cables carry information as an electrical signal‚ which may be digital‚ as in phone lines‚ or analogue‚ as in audio speaker cable. In optical fibers‚ however‚ data is carried digitally by light from a laser

there have been numerous inventions and discoveries. The latest one has been that of Fiber optic cables‚ which have gained more respect in the market than the copper cables. These cables are widely used in offices or residential areas. Copper cables transmit information through electrical signals. It has been used as a speaker system wire‚ telephone wire‚ computer cable wire etc. for over years now. Optical fiber comprises of plastic or glass strands to transmit data or information digitally with

WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF THE WELFARE STATE? The question set is so broad that I shall have to be selective. I shall conduct my answer in relation to the British Welfare State. Before we can successfully understand the function of the Welfare State we must first be clear of its definition. Although I recognise that Britain has a long history of providing forms of welfare to its citizens though relief like the poor-law between the sixteenth and twentieth centuries‚ I intend to look at the post-war
