Each monosaccharide consists of six carbon atoms, as shown in the model of the monosaccharide glucose below. Figure 3.5.2 3.5. 2: The six black balls in this model of the monosaccharide glucose represent carbon atoms. These six carbons make up the backbone in the center of glucose. The red balls are oxygen, and the white ones are hydrogen.

Proteins are biopolymeric structures composed of amino acids, of which there are 20 commons found in biological chemistry. Proteins serve as structural support, biochemical catalysts, hormones, enzymes, building blocks, and initiators of cellular death. Proteins can be further defined by their four structural levels: primary, secondary, tertiary, …

The red pigment in bricks — iron oxide, or rust — is essential for triggering the polymerisation reaction. The authors'' calculations suggest that walls made of these energy-storing bricks could store a substantial amount of energy. "PEDOT-coated bricks are ideal building blocks that can provide power to emergency lighting," D''Arcy said.
