N-acetylglucosamine, sugar, containing nitrogen as well.

Eukaryotic organisms such as algae, fungi and higher plants, in

multilayered cell walls consist mostly or

cellulose and chitin. Cellulose and chitin are polysaccharides

, ie they consist of many related molecules of sugar. Cellulose

glucose polymer containing only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, while the chitin polymer

N-acetylglucosamine, sugar, containing nitrogen as well. Both cellulose and chitin are linear, unbranched polymers th

corresponding sugars, and several dozen of these polymers are collected in

large crystal type of cable is called mikrofibryl that coil around the cell

. Mikrofibryl cellulose form a scaffolding all walls of plant cells. At least two types

primary walls among species of flowering plants

(angiosperms). In type I walls

and some monocots mikrofibryl tied together sugar strattera side effects

called xyloglucans, and is it embedded in gel

pectin, another type of polysaccharide. Pectins install more

walls of physical characters, such as electric charge, density, porosity

,

enzymes and proteins and distribution from cell to cell adhesions.

Pectins used for commercial purposes thicken jellies and jams. Type II

walls of cereals and other monocots relatives cable >> << mikrofibryl with various sugars and relatively poor pectin. The hardness of the wood comes from

lignin, which is impregnated between mikrofibryl cellulose. Lignin is a phenolic compounds

, chemically related to benzene. Cell walls of fungi varied among taxonomic groups, but most contain chitin

mikrofibryl embedded in a matrix of polysaccharides and

covered easily cover the additional molecules combining sugars and peptides

(amino acid chains). However, the cell walls of Oomycetes

contain cellulose rather than chitin. Different groups of fungi can be

differ in part on the composition of their cell wall components. Cellulose is a significant part of the framework mikrofibrylyarnoyi

algae, although some contain other polysaccharides as well. These

mikrofibrylyarnoyi network embedded in a thick gel polysaccharides

huge variety. Three classes of algae, Chlorophyceae

(green), Rhodophyceae (red), and Phaeophyceae (brown) can be

differ somewhat depending on their constituent polysaccharides.

Alginic acid and fucans are in brown algae, while

agarose and carrageenan are predominantly in the red algae. Some of qi

polysaccharides used as thickening and stabilizing agents in various
