A community's members are a rich source of knowledge about their community and of energy and commitment to that community. When public health professionals envision a program to address health issues in a particular community, tapping into the community's expertise and enthusiasm is frequently an essential issue.
1 The two forms are sometimes described as  anomers  since they are isomers at the anomeric center. 2  To assign the cyclic form of a carbohydrate as the Î±- or Î²- form look at the relative positions of the-CH 2 OH group and-OH (or-OR) group at the anomeric center. In the Î²- form, the exocyclic O group at the anomeric center is on the same face as the-CH 2 OH group. 2  If a mixture of the Î±- and Î²- anomers are present, then this is often represented by using a wavy line to represent the bond:
In the cellulose molecule the individual glucose monosaccharides are all linked to one another in the form of a long, long, linear chain. The carbon atom number 1 (C1) in one sugar is linked to the fourth carbon atom (C4) of the next sugar in an extended array. All the glucose molecules in cellulose have the beta-configuration at the C1 atom, so all the glycosidic bonds that join the glucose molecules together are also of the beta type.
