Carbohydrate (medicine) and Bonaparte, Louis (sh)


Carbohydrate (medicine)


carbohydrate
<biochemistry> Very abundant compounds, usually an aldehyde or ketone derivative of a polyhydric alcohol, particularly of the pentahydric and hexahydric alcohols. They are so named because the hydrogen and oxygen are usually in the proportion to form water with the General formula Cn(H2O)n. The most important carbohydrates are the starches, sugars, celluloses and gums.

They are classified into mono, di, tri, poly and heterosaccharides. The smallest are monosaccharides like glucose whereas polysaccharides such as starch, cellulose or glycogen can be large and indeterminate in length.


Bonaparte, Louis (sh)




born Sept. 2, 1778, Ajaccio, Corsica
died July 25, 1846, Livorno, Italy

French nobleman and soldier.

A brother of Napoleon, he accompanied Napoleon on the Italian campaign of 1796-97 and was his aide-de-camp in Egypt (1798-99). At Napoleon's insistence, he married Hortense de Beauharnais in 1802, but the union proved unhappy and did not last. Proclaimed king of Holland in 1806, he was criticized by Napoleon for being too easy on his subjects. His unwillingness to join the Continental System led him into conflict with Napoleon, and in 1810 he fled his kingdom and eventually settled in Italy. Napoleon III was his son.
