01:15
Second point or characteristic is that carbohydrates provide, or rather say, provides chemical energy.
01:37

03:07
Crustacean shells, they are found as chitin.
03:25
And in animals, they make up connective tissue.
03:37
Connective tissue in animals, they are in the form of acidic, polysaccharacter.
03:59
Saccharides.
04:09
Redo that.
04:10
Saccharides.

Okay...
