Blood Type- a Biological Functions of Carbohydrates Aside from supplying of energy to many biological activities, carbohydrates play other vital functions as well. One of these is the uniqueness of each individual’s blood type. Human blood type—A, B, AB, or O—is determined by three or four monosaccharides attached to a membrane protein on the surface of red blood cells. Each blood type is associated with a different carbohydrate structure. Three monosaccharides occur in all blood types—N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, d-galactose, and l-fucose. Type A blood contains a fourth monosaccharide, N-acetyl-d-galactosamine, and type B blood contains an additional d-galactose unit. Type AB blood has both type A and type B carbohydratesarrow_forward
- A protein called insulin is responsible for controlling how much sugar is in our blood. When insulin is present, cells take up sugar from the blood, controlling our blood-sugar levels and keeping our body in balance. Some people with diabetes don't make enough insulin. What would be a problem if cells could no longer produce the protein insulin? A - People would have too low blood sugar. B - Nothing would happen--their blood sugar would remain the same. C - They would not be able to digest sugar anymore. D - People would have too high blood sugar.arrow_forwardWhen it comes to controlling your weight, how might the science of bioenergy help?
