In this discussion, we will explore stretching and shrinking a graph, both vertically and horizontally. When you finish studying this lesson, you should be able to do a problem like this: GRAPH: [beautiful math coming... please be patient] $\,y=2{\text{e}}^{5x}\,$.
According to how it is treated, cellulose can be used to make paper, film, explosives, and plastics, in addition to having many other industrial uses. The paper in this book contains cellulose, as do some of the clothes you are wearing. For humans, cellulose is also a major source of needed fiber in our diet.
Cellulose, the most abundant starch in nature, is formed of Î²1:4 linkages and cannot be digested in humans, although the bacterial action in the colon does break down a minute amount of it. Glycogen is a multi-branched starch with linkages at the 1:4 and 1:6 position. This creates very large granules of multi-branched starch.
