Bacterium
... groups of microorganisms play important roles in the mineralization of specific classes of organic compounds. For example, the decomposition of
cellulose , which is one of the most abundant constituents of plant tissues, is mainly brought about by aerobic bacteria that belong to the genus Cytophaga . ...
Carbohydrate

Chromatography
... (TLC)
In thin layer chromatography or TLC the stationary phase consists of a thin layer of adsorbent like silica gel , alumina , or
cellulose on a flat carrier like a glass plate, a thick aluminum foil, or a plastic sheet.
The process is similar to paper chromatography with the ...
Digestion
... (or a stomach that acts as teeth and mechanically digests food). A herbivore may have a cecum that contains bacteria that helps break down the
cellulose in plants. Ruminants , for example cows and sheep , have a specialised four-chambered stomach that produces cud to enable easier digestion ...

Glucose
... form of ATP . It is also broken down from polysaccharides before use.
Chemically joined together, glucose and fructose form sucrose . Starch ,
cellulose , and glycogen are common glucose polymers ( polysaccharides ).
The older name dextrose arose because a solution of D -glucose rotates ...
Photosynthesis
... → C 6 H 12 O 6 (glucose) + 6O 2 + 6H 2 O
The glucose is variously used to form other organic compounds, such as the building material
cellulose , or it may be used as a fuel. This takes place through respiration , found in both animals and plants. In general outline, this is the opposite ...
Isozyme
... . Historically, this has usually been done using gels made from potato starch, however, acrylamide gels provide better resolution, and
cellulose acetate gels are now (as of 2005 ) the norm.
All the proteins from the tissue are present in the gel, so that individual enzymes must be ...
