Different types of synthetic polymers and their uses. Addition vs. condensation polymers.
A polymer is a very large molecule that is built from monomers (the repeating units that make up a polymer).
Many different biomolecules, such as DNA, proteins, and carbohydrates, are polymers.
3 different types of carbohydrates: monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides
Functions of carbohydrates
Carbohydrates, along with lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, belong to 4 major macromolecules of life.
The main role of carbohydrates is to provide energy.
Living organisms use monosaccharides to fuel metabolic reactions. They produce ATP in a process of aerobic cellular respiration.
Stored form of carbohydrates is polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen.
Vitamin B1 function and sources, daily requirement. Symptoms of thiamine deficiency.
Vitamin B1 is also known as thiamine belongs to water-soluble vitamins of B complex.
In the human body about 80% of thiamin are presented in the form of thiamin diphosphate (TDP).
3 basic PCR steps and reaction components of DNA amplification – short overview
PCR stands for Polymerase Chain Reaction.
The polymerase chain reaction is a technique for fast increasing the number of copies of specific regions of DNA and consists of 3 basic PCR steps and a relatively complex reaction mixture.
