How many sugars?

Enzymes are breaking forth sugars.

We're also combining cellulases, the enzymes that break down complex sugars into simple sugars and fermentation in the same cell for producing ethanol.

The enzymes remanufactured the hydrocarbons into carbohydrates fungal sugars.

The sugars in the dough caramelize in the crust.

It starts to release the sugars trapped in the starch.

Bacteria is in there, eating the same sugars, turning them into acids.

The mushrooms then are harvested, but very importantly, the mycelium has converted the cellulose into fungal sugars.

The yellow green area is the fluids of blood, which is mostly water, but it's also antibodies, sugars, hormones, that kind of thing.

The yeast comes alive and starts eating the sugars, creating carbon dioxide and alcohol essentially it's burping and sweating, which is what bread is.

So, if all goes well, they're going to have designer bugs in warm vats that are eating and digesting sugars to excrete better biofuels.

I'd hypothesize that it might be our increased intake of refined grains, sugars and starches that's driving this epidemic of obesity and diabetes, but through insulin resistance, you see, and not necessarily through just overeating and under exercising.

One for extracting oxygen out of the deep sea water, another one which houses this chemosynthetic bacteria, which takes the hydrothermal fluid that hot water that you saw coming out of the bottom and converts that into simple sugars that the tube worm can digest.

There are all other sorts of applications, merging your phone and diagnostics, for example measuring your blood glucose on your iPhone and sending that, potentially, to your physician so they can better understand and you can better understand your blood sugars as a diabetic.

Low carbohydrate pasta is in a category of health foods known in the trade as lesser evils foods with fewer unwanted calories, fat, trans fat, sugars, salt, or carbohydrates. There is now a whole industry of such products, as well as health foods classified as natural, organic, and functional.

And with so much polymer, what we really need is technical nutrition, and to use something as elegant as a tree imagine this design assignment Design something that makes oxygen, sequesters carbon, fixes nitrogen, distills water, accrues solar energy as fuel, makes complex sugars and food, creates microclimates, changes colors with the seasons and self replicates.

Today, jaw droppingly huge Haber Bosch plants, much refined and improved, are humming around the world, pumping out the hundreds of thousands of tons of fertilizers that enrich the fields that grow the crops that become the sugars and oils and cattle that are cooked into the noodles and chips, pizza, burritos, and snack cakes that make us fat.

The bear has no idea that its days are numbered unless it remains in the forest and hunts in the traditional way for its meals. But that bear was following the wisdom natural selection had programmed in its genes food that is high in proteins and sugars is good for you, and the less energy you expend getting it, the better.

It is Darwin s second powerful idea the idea that even the most complicated features of organisms are the outcome of natural selection that has been the key to his theory s long term success. Natural selection has provided scientific explanations of traits as diverse as the mammalian eye, the bird s wing, and the ability of plants to transform light into sugars.
