[What is yohimbe]

Yohimbe is a tree that grows in Africa, and the natives there have used the crude bark and purified compound to enhance sexual desire and performance. Yohimbe has been used for centuries as an aphrodisiac. It has even been smoked as a hallucinogen. Nowadays, Yohimbe bark extract is mostly used to treat impotence for men and women.

When ingested, Yohimbe is assimilated into the blood stream, and Yohimbe’s energizing effects come from its ability to increase blood flow to the genitals - and this applies to both men and women.Aside from its aphrodisiac effects, new research also show that Yohimbe has powerful antioxidant effects.

Noted environmentalist Newton Ancarrow documented and photographed over 400 species of wildflowers along the banks of the James River in Richmond, Virginia from 1968 to 1971. He created a slideshow that he gave to garden clubs, women’s groups, and other civic organizations. He also typed out the script of his presentation, and recorded it on audio cassette. Using the audio, his script, and digitized images of the slides, VCU Libraries has been able to recreate his hour-long slideshow. For more information about Ancarrow and his work, see the online exhibit and the Ancarrow Wildflower Digital Archive.

For Unit 3 Biology, Signatures of Life. A brief overview of carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates are one of the 4 major groups of biomacromolecules (other groups include Proteins, Lipids and Nucleic Acids).
Carbohydrates are made up of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms and follow the general formula CH2On.
Monosaccharides are single sugar units, e.g: glucose and fructose
Through condensation (aka dehydration) reactions monosaccharies can be combined into disaccharides.
Disaccharides are sugar units made up of 2 sugar molecules. e.g: Sucrose( a disaccahride) is composed of one glucose molecule and one fructose molecule. Lactose (a dissacharide) is composed one glucose molecule and one galactose molecule.
Mono and disaccharides play an important role in biological systems as energy sources. They are used when energy is required quickly.
Polysaccharides are made up of many sugar molecules bound by glycosidic bonds (bonds formed through condensation reactions).
Starch – is the energy storgae unit in plants. It i smade up of many monosaccharides (glucose) combined together. Starch is insoluble, so it has little effect on osmotic balance in plant.
Glycogen – sugar storage in animals. Sugar that is not utilised by an animal is converted to glycogen and stored in the muscles and liver. When these sites are full, excess sugar is converted to fat.
Cellulose – functions as a structural carbohydrate in plants. Found in every plant cell wall. Bundles form very tough fibres.
Derivative of cellulose is Chitin. which is the main component of insect exoskeletons. Another derivative is pectin, a material that exists between cell walls to help bind them together.
