Introduction

Marigold flower belongs to compositae family and tagetes erecta. It is an annual herb and widely planted in Heilungkiang, Jilin, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Yunnan , etc.The marigold we used comes from Yunnan province. Based on the local situation of special soil environment and lighting condition , the local marigold have characteristics like growing fast,long flowering period ,high productive capacity and adequate quality.Thus, the steady supply of raw materials, high yield and reduction of cost can be guaranteed.

In this video we cover the uses of polysaccharides as energy stores and structural units. On the way we’ll look the use of glucose in respiration, and then how it can be stored in the form of starch and glycogen, revisiting glycosidic bonding and introducing amylose and amylopectin. Then we will cover the bonding in cellulose making microfibrils, then macrofibrils and pectins, all the while linking structure to function. As ever there’s an exam style question to solidify everything learnt.

In this video I discuss what are simple carbohydrates, fructose, glucose, and, what are monosaccharides and disaccharides. I discuss the basics of how simple carbs are formed.

Transcript (partial with notes)

Simple carbohydrates are sugars, not the table sugar that might come to mind, but simple sugars. They can be either monosaccharides, or disaccharides.

Monosaccharides are made up of only one sugar molecule. The main monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, galactose, and ribose. Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates.

Two monosaccharide molecules can join together to form a disaccharide, which is the second type of simple carbohydrate.

Some common disaccharides include sucrose, or table sugar, which is a glucose molecule joined with a fructose molecule, lactose, which is a galactose and glucose molecules joined together, and is found mainly in milk, and maltose, which is two glucose molecules joined together, and it is found in sweet potatoes.

For the most part, all Simple carbohydrates are turned into glucose in the body. Glucose is the main form of energy in the body. Simple carbohydrates are digested very quickly when they are in the form of added sugars or sweeteners, so it is best to get them from nutrient dense foods such as fruits, veggies and whole grains that contain fiber. Milk is also a good source, as it contains vitamins and minerals.
