Structural support, storage

Green coffee beans, as expected, contain storage polysaccharides such as starch, and structural support compounds such as cellulose and lignin. Mono- and di-saccharides are represented, as well as the related compounds quinic acid and myo inositol. 

Besides vessel members and tracheids, parenchyma cells and fibers also occur in the xylem (see Fig. 1-3). Xylem fibers, which contribute to the structural support of a plant, are long thin cells with lignified cell walls they are generally devoid of protoplasts at maturity but are nonconducting. The living parenchyma cells in the xylem are important for the storage of carbohydrates and for the lateral movement of water and solutes into and out of the conducting cells.

In the vertical and horizontal storage configurations, an internal canister stores the spent fuel assemblies in a safe subcritical configuration. The internal canister is a welded stainless steel pressure vessel that provides for criticality control, an inert helium environment, structural support of the fuel assemblies, and confinement of the highly radioactive... 

Polysaccharides, Polysaccharides are large sugar complexes that contain repeating sequences of simple sugars— chains of monosaccharides. In plants and animals they are used either for carbohydrate storage or structural support... 

Polysaccharides have various functions. In plants they serve both as structural support (example cellulose, the polysaccharide present in the greatest amount by far) and as storage compounds in seeds and tubers (starch). In animals they rarely serve as structural substances (cellulose is found only in tunicates chitin occurs in insects and crabs). Glycogen is accumulated by animals as a storage substance. 

Nonbuilding structures (including storage racks and tanks) that are supported by other structures shall be designed in accordance with Chapter 15. Where Section 15.3 requires that seismic forces be determined in accordance with Chapter 13 and values for Rp are not provided in Table 13.5-1 or 13.6-1, Rp shall be taken as equal to the value of R listed in Section 15. The value of a p shall be determined in accordance with footnote a of Table 13.5-1 or 13.6-1.
