what is the difference between cateract and glucoma?

Cataract is an opaque (you can't see through) area on the lens.  Its just caused by trauma and 90% of people have a little bit of a cataract by age 65.  They can fix this by replacing the lens.  \nGlaucoma is a group of eye diseases which affects the nerves and may lead to blindness.  This is caused by fluid accumulation increasing pressure inside the eyeball.  \nVERY different diseases.

(C) Amino acids are L; sugars are D.\n\nThe majority of biologically significant A.A are in the L configuration, the majority of biologically significant sugars are in the D configuration.

Title: SEAWEEDS FARMING : Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) Regional Office IX\n\nBrief Description: Manufactured Phytocolloid Carageenan come from the extract of Eucheuma (Goso). The raw material contains high ash that resembles agar requiring only higher concentration to form gel. Apparently used to manufacture surgical jellies, salves and ointment. Also an essential ingredients in pudding, frosting and baker jellies for emuLsification and improvement of its texture. An important stabilizer for ice cream, confectioners, syrups and thickener for soup and related products \n\nHope this helps.

ATP maybe.\nGlucose if not.

BYETTA (bye-A-tuh) is the first in a class of medicines for type 2 diabetes called incretin mimetics. BYETTA improves blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes and is used with pills like Glucophage® (metformin), and/or a sulfonylurea like Amaryl® (glimepiride), Glucotrol® (glipizide), Micronase® (glyburide), and others.

A person with diabetes mellitus has episodes of high blood sugar (glucose) more often than a person without diabetes does. Glucose can react with proteins in the body to form a covalent (permanent) complex. As the glucose concentration gets higher, the reaction between glucose and proteins occurs more frequently. For this reason, a person with high blood glucose concentrations generates more glycosylated proteins than is normal.\n\nProteins with glucose attached to them are abnormal and tend to lose their three-dimensional shape and their "flexibility." Over the course of many years, blood vessels throughout the body accumulate proteins with excess glucose attached, and this causes the blood vessel wall to become thickened and lose its normal elasticity. Eventually, the weakened blood vessel wall yields to normal blood pressure and bulges out. Later, the weakened blood vessel wall will leak. The process is worsened if blood pressure is elevated. Hence, people with diabetes mellitus are at increased risk for heart attack and stroke, as well for blindness and kidney disease. The occurrence of these complications is greater in people with more severely elevated blood glucose concentrations. Treatment of diabetes mellitus involves trying to maintain blood glucose concentrations near normal values.\n\nIn the retina, which is located in the back of the eye, any small amounts of blood that leak from the damaged blood vessels can cause a reduction in vision. It's like pouring catsup over the front of your television screen. This can be treated in some patients either by laser surgery to reduce the number of weakened blood vessels or by removing the bloody fluid in front of the retina. By the way, the same type of blood vessel damage is occurring in other organs, including the heart, kidneys, and brain, but we cannot see it as soon as we can see it in the eye.

They're different liquids. The stomach produces concentrated acid (HCl), the liver bile. The first mashes stuff up and kills germs, the other helps break down fats. Unless I've conmpletely forgotten my biology classes from 20 years ago.

Benedict's Test only tests positive for simple reducing sugars.  Starch is a polysaccharide.

check the glucose content in honey. My father had diabetes and he insisted that he could eat all the honey that he wasted but when I had gestational diabetes I was told that honey is only slightly healthier than sugar and should also be used with caution.\nTalk to your doctor.

No there is an actual difference. It's in the live culture bacteria that is good for digestion that's found in activa. It's better for you. I have digestion/ulcers and my doctor told me to eat activa.

Amylose is readily digested by enzymes (amylase), which separates it into monosaccharides to be used in ATP production.\n\nCellulose, however, cannot be digested by animals, and is therefore quite useless. (termites are known to digest cellulose in the wood they eat, but that is actually done by symbiotic microbes)\n\nThe difference between amylose and cellulose is in the bonding between monomers - amylose uses alpha glycosidic linkages and rolls up into a ball, and cellulose uses beta linkages and form long, tough strands.

A low pH slows down the enzyme activity. The enzyme present in the stomach is ptyalin. When ptyalin is inactivated, it cannot function.\n\nA little fact of enzyme:\nEnzymes are biological catalysts made of protein. They alter the rate of chemical reactions without themselves being chemically changed at the end of the reaction.\n\nEnzyme combine with the substrate (starch) to form a enzyme-substrate complex. After that, it breaks up into smaller products. The reaction does not change the surface configuration on the enzyme, and therefore can be used to catalyze another reaction. Smaller products makes digestion easier.\n\nSo, when pytalin (enzyme) is inactivated, it cannot go through the procedure as described above.

Hi! No, they're totally different.  Xenadrine gives you energy, that's it.  And Xenical blocks the fat from your food to be absorbed

Glycogen is the polysaccharide which your body produces in responce to high blood glucose levels.  It is starch like in that both glycogen and starch are carbohydrate polymers. Glycogen is produced from glucose in a process known as glycogenesis which is often triggered by the concentration of insulin in the blood plasma.\n\nNote: Glucose it's self is not starch like, starch is a polymer of glucose.  Glucose is starch like in the same way a brick is house like.
