Carbohydrates are the most abundant biomolecules on the earth. Glycolysis is the first pathway of the cellular respiration used in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy. When energy is needed, metabolic processes mobilize glycogen to produce ATP and give the body fuel. Glycolysis is the major pathway for utilization of glucose & it takes place in the cytoplasm of all the cells of body, as all the glycolytic enzymes required are present in the cytosol. Major pathway for ATP in tissues lacking mitochondria viz. RBC, lens, cornea etc.. Glycolysis is unique because it may be aerobic or anaerobic - meaning it will proceed with or without oxygen also it occurs quickly, and can produce thousands of ATP molecules in milliseconds.
What is Glycoprotein ?:
Glycoproteins are proteins that contain oligosaccharide chains (glycans) covalently attached to polypeptide side-chains.
This process is known as glycosylation.
The carbohydrate is attached to the protein during the following modifications: Co-translational modification & Post-translational modification.
In proteins that have segments extending extracellularly, the extracellular segments are often glycosylated.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Palestine last event orientationfvgnh .pptxRaedMohamed3
An EFL lesson about the current events in Palestine. It is intended to be for intermediate students who wish to increase their listening skills through a short lesson in power point.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Carbohydrates are one of the most abundant and widely distributed organic compounds found on the Earth. They are ubiquitous, being found as important constituents in plants, animals, and microorganisms.
he process uses the energy of sunlight to combine carbon dioxide with water to form carbohydrate and molecular oxygen as abbreviated in the following reaction: 6 CO2+6 H2O→C6H12O6+6O2. Carbohydrates thus represent the conservation of the energy of the sun as chemical energy and serve as the major source of energy for nonphotosynthe- sizing organisms. Therefore, they must have been very early products in the evolution of life.
Carbohydrates are produced during the process of photosynthesis, in which the energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy by combining carbon dioxide with water to form carbohydrates and molecular oxygen
Current geochemical theory suggests that molecular oxygen was in very low concentration in the atmosphere of the ancient earth, and carbohydrates were broken down by the process of anaerobic glycolysis (reaction 1.2) to give energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a phosphorylated and purine substitutedcarbohydrate ribose derivative (see Fig. 1.7). This is discussed in more detail in Chapter II.
Only a limited amount ofenergy was available for living organisms via anaerobic glycolysis (2 ATP perC6H,P6)' and life remained simple and primitive. As the concentration of atmospheric molecular oxygen increased due to microbial photosynthesis, mechanisms evolved for the complete oxidationofcarbohydrates by molecular oxygen to give CO2 +Hp (respiration, reaction 1.3), which gave much greateramounts ofenergy (38 ATP perC6HtP6)'This increase in available energy led to an explosion in the number and complexity oforganisms.
Energy Storage in Biological Systems. Living organisms use two major types ofenergy storage. Energy-rich molecules such as glycogen and triglycerides storeenergy in the form of covalent chemical bonds. Cells synthesize such molecules and store them for later release of the energy.
Monosaccharides are the major source of fuel for metabolism, being used both as an energy source (glucose being the most important in nature) and in biosynthesis.
Organisms ranging from bacteria, yeast, fungi, insects, invertebrates, and lower and higher plants have enzymes that can make trehalose.[5] In nature, trehalose can be found in plants, and microorganisms. In animals, trehalose is prevalent in shrimp, and also in insects, including grasshoppers, locusts, butterflies, and bees, in which trehalose serves as blood-sugar. Trehalose is then broken down into glucose by the catabolic enzyme trehalase for use. Trehalose is also present in the nutrition exchange liquid of hornets and their larvae.[citation needed]
Trehalose is the major carbohydrate energy storage molecule used by insects for flight. One possible reason for this is that the glycosidic linkage of trehalose, when acted upon by an insect trehalase, releases two molecules of glucose, which is required for the rapid energy requirements of flight. This is double the efficiency of glucose release from the storage polymer starch, for which cleavage of one glycosidic linkage releases only one glucose molecul
Cellulose is an organic compound with the formula n, polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to many thousands of β(1→4) linked D-glucose units.[3][4] Cellulose is an important structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants, many forms of algae and the oomycetes. Some species of bacteria secrete it to form biofilms.[5] Cellulose is the most abundant organic polymer on Earth.[6] The cellulose content of cotton fiber is 90%, that of wood is 40–50%, and that of dried hemp is approximately 57%
Chitin (C8H13O5N)n (/ˈkaɪtɪn/ KY-tin), a long-chain polymer of N-acetylglucosamine, is a derivative of glucose. It is a primary component of cell wallsin fungi, the exoskeletons of arthropods, such as crustaceans (e.g., crabs, lobsters and shrimps) and insects, the radulae of molluscs, cephalopod beaks, and the scales of fish and lissamphibians.[1] The structure of chitin is comparable to another polysaccharide - cellulose, forming crystalline nanofibrils or whiskers. In terms of function, it may be compared to the protein keratin. Chitin has proved useful for several medicinal, industrial and biotechnological purposes.
The glycocalyx, also known as the pericellular matrix, is a glycoprotein and glycolipid covering that surrounds the cell membranes of some bacteria, epithelia, and other cells.
Carbohydrate on cell surface act as receptor for harmone, such as insulin which activate internal enzyme,
Some carbohydrate enter into immune reaction, Glycoprotein plays key role : Such as ABO blood group determine by number of sugar attached to spingolipids
Different cells has different markers, carbohydrate chain play imp role to recognize self and cell to cell interaction. Cell to recognize other cell of same type join together to form tissue. Two Embryonic cells such as nerve cell and muscle cell if mixed, will sort them selvs in nerve cell and muscle cell aggregates
Carbohydrate cell surface marker involve in tissue growth, which limit cell to certain destination, that’s why cell do not trespass boundaries of neighboring tissue, that’s why they do not overgrow
Simian immunodeficiency virusVirus classificationGroup:Group VI (ssRNA-RT)Order:UnassignedFamily:RetroviridaeSubfamily:OrthoretrovirinaeGenus:LentivirusSpecies:Simian immunodeficiency virusSimian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) are retroviruses that cause persistent infections in at least 45 species of African non-human primates
In 2010, researchers reported that SIV had infected monkeys in Bioko for at least 32,000 years. Based on molecular clock analyses of sequences, it was previously thought by many that SIV infection in monkeys had happened over the past few hundred years.[16][unreliable source?] Scientists estimated that it would take a similar amount of time before humans would adapt naturally to HIV infection in the way monkeys in Africa have adapted to SIV and not suffer any harm from the infection
The glycogenome represents the genes encoding the various glycosyltransferases, glycosidases, sugar, and nucleotide sugar metabolizing enzymes important in glycan biosynthesis, and nucleotide sugar transporters. The glycosyltransferases generated from the glycotranscriptome in schistosomes represent a large class of predicted enzymes, often requiring metal cofactors, such as manganese (Me2+), that synthesize glycans using donor nucleotide sugars to form glycosidic bonds to acceptors, here represented by a sugar-R, where R = sugar, protein, or lipid to which a sugar is linked. The products of the biosynthetic reactions have specific glycosidic linkages, e.g., β1,4 or α1,3, and the glycans produced are often acceptors for additional enzymes, thus generating the complex set of glycans representing the glycome of the organism. Examples are shown for two glycosyltransferase reactions that together can synthesize the LDN and LDNF antigen determinants. The key for several of the monosaccharides found in schistosome glycans are indicated—Glc (Glucose), Gal (Galactose), Man (Mannose), GlcNAc (N-acetylglucosamine), GalNAc (N-acetylgalactosamine), Fuc (Fucose), and Xyl (Xylose).
Aldoses are more available in living organism, glucose is in top.
For a sugar drawn in the Fischer projection with the most oxidized carbon at the top:
if the OH on the bottom chiral centre points to the right, it is referred to as D-
if the OH on the bottom chiral centre points to the left, it is referred to as L- .
Keep in mind all D-sugar has last carbon
Sedoheptulose or D-altro-heptulose is a ketoheptose—a monosaccharide with seven carbon atoms and a ketone functional group. It is one of the few heptoses found in nature. Sedoheptulose is found in various fruits and vegetables ranging from carrots, apricots, apples to tomatoes
When the hydroxyl group is replaced by an amino group, we get an amino sugar
the N-acetyl derivative, and substitution ofan amino orN-acetyl-aminogroup on C-2ofthe 6deoxy analogues ofn- orL-mannose and n- orL-galactose (giving n- orL-rhamnosamine and n- or L-fucosamine). These amino sugars are also frequently found as carbohydrate constituents ofglycoproteins
Many of the simple trioses, tetroses, and pentoses do not occur naturally in the free state but are commonly found as phosphate-ester derivatives. The phosphoesters are important intermediates in the breakdown and synthesis of carbohydrates by living organisms. n-Glucose is converted into n-fructose-l,6-bisphosphate that is then cleaved in half to give n-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate
Mutarotation is the change in the optical rotation because of the change in the equilibrium between two anomers, when the corresponding stereocenters interconvert. Cyclic sugars show mutarotation as α and β anomeric forms interconvert
The most stable or most favorable conformation usually is the one that places the majority ofthe bulky substituents (for most ofthe carbohydrates a bulky substituent is a hydroxyl group ora hydroxy methyl group) in an equatorial position, and, likewise, the leastfavored conformation is theone that places the majority of the bulky groups in an axial position. Theplacing ofthe bulky groups in the plane of the ring, or equatorial position, puts the bulky groups as far apart from each other as possible, creating a low-energy form with a minimum ofbulky group interactions.
lacingthe bulky groups perpendicularto the ring, inanaxial position, puts the bulky groups as close together as possible, creating a higher energy form with a maximum ofinteraction. This can be illustrated for 13-o-g1ucopyranose in which all of the bulky groups are equatorial when the molecule in the 4C1
conformation. An intermediate in the transformation from CI to IC is a so-called boat conformation in which C-I has been moved up by rotation around the ring atoms
