INDEX
The reactions which characterize animal protoplasm are of a different kind. They belong to the descending series. Close molecules are unfolded. Water is incorporated with them. Hydrogen and carbon are oxidized into water and carbonic acid. The conversion into sugar of glycogen or of starch may be taken as an illustration of expansion. Starch, (C₆H₁₀O₅)ₙ, becomes maltose, C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁, and then dextrose, C₆H₁₂O₆. The grouped molecule of starch opens out. The breaking of the double molecule of maltose into two molecules of dextrose is a further illustration of progress towards simplicity. Hydration, union with H₂O, accompanies this expansion. Hydrolysis is the secret of almost all digestive acts. Starch is hydrolysed into sugar, fat hydrolysed into glycerin and fatty acid, proteins hydrolysed into peptones.
