Summary Introduction

To determine: The structural features of cellulose and glycogen that make their different physical properties.

Introduction:

Polysaccharides are formed by the long chain of simple monomeric units of monosaccharide. The some polysaccharides are glycogen, starch, cellulose and chitin. Some of these polysaccharides act as an energy reservoir (starch and glycogen) while some of the polysaccharide acts as a structural component of cell that forms the cell wall (cellulose and chitin).

A hospital blood processing unit uses apheresis to concentrate red blood cells (RBCs) fromwhole blood donations. Whole blood is drawn from a donor at a rate of 100 g/min and passedthrough a centrifuge-based apheresis system. The whole blood contains 45% RBC and 1%WBCs and platelets by mass, with the remainder consisting of plasma. The separated plasma andnon-RBC components are returned to the donor at a rate of 90 g/min.The goal of the system is to collect a concentrated RBC fraction containing 80% red blood cells.Assume that red blood cells do not break down during processing and that no fluid loss occurs inthe system.(a) How long will it take to collect 100g of the concentrated RBC fraction?
Please give an intuitive explanation of the blood-brain barrier. Specifically, what is it, what is its structure and function, what types of cells compose it, etc.,..?
