Essential component of bones and teeth in animals ; Essential in blood clotting and muscle contraction
1 of 8
Calcium Pectate
Essential component of middle lamella of plant cell walls
2 of 8
Carbohydrate
Monosaccharides (Alpha and Beta Glucose); Disaccharides (Maltose and Sucrose); Polysacchardides (Starch, Amylose, Amylopectin) Tests used to detect carbohydrates = Benedicts, glucose specific eg clinistix, Iodine test
3 of 8
Cellulose
Structural polysacchardide; Made up of B-glucose monomer units ; Cellulose consists of b-1,4-glycosidic bonds ; Glucose molecules are rotated at 180 degrees to make straight chains and so H bonds can form for cross-linkages between adjacent chains
4 of 8
Cellulose cell wall
Cellulose chains are grouped togther in microfibrils; Plant cells walls are formed of cellulose microfibrils ; Each microfibril consists of many cellulose molecules cross-linked to eachother ; In same and different directions for strength
5 of 8
Chromatography
Used to seperate and identity substances in solution such as amino acids
6 of 8
Clinistix
Used to detect glucose ; Quick and accurate for doctors to test for glucose in urine
7 of 8
