Plants sugar and

Sucrose is a nonreducing disaccharide derived from glucose and fructose. Sucrose is a plant sugar and is not metabolized by the cells of the animal body, so that if sucrose as such gains access to the blood, it is excreted quantitatively in the urine. It is normally hydrolyzed in the intestinal tract, and the constituent monosaccharides are absorbed. It is... 

On the other hand, the two-step process involves the direct conversion of plant sugars and plant oils into polymers hy microorganisms. At present, the biosynthesis of PHA is largely carried out through this two-step process. Compared with the three-step process of polymer production, the two-step process can be more cost-effective... 

The major classes of organic compounds common to living systems are lipids pro terns nucleic acids and carbohydrates Carbohydrates are very familiar to us— we call many of them sugars They make up a substantial portion of the food we eat and provide most of the energy that keeps the human engine running Carbohy drates are structural components of the walls of plant cells and the wood of trees Genetic information is stored and transferred by way of nucleic acids specialized derivatives of carbohydrates which we 11 examine m more detail m Chapter 28... 

Insoluble Matter. Insoluble matter in sugar is deterrnined as the dry weight of material left on a filter or membrane after passage of a sugar solution. This may include bits of sand, filtration medium, plant material, and polymeric material. 

Plants and animals are themselves highly effective chemical factories and they synthesize many carbon compounds useful to man. These include sugars, starches, plant oils and waxes, fats, gelatin, dyes, drugs, and fibers.
