Profound Fortuitous Interdependencies is a phrase I created for my book to describe wonders surrounding every person on earth. We take them for granted just because they are there and most people don't realize their brilliant creation.
The formula for starch is ( C₆H₁₀O₅)n
Cellulose has this same formula but in a straight chain, without coiling or branching.
This is the structure of cellulose, drawn such that there is a carbon atom at every pair of lines intersecting at an angle, and each carbon atom is saturated with a sufficient number of hydrogen atoms to form four bonds.
Parenthesis indicates a repeating link of this long-term chain.
The formula for glucose is C₆H₁₂O₆ .
Glycogen is a branched polymer of glucose where n can range from a few thousand to a hundred thousand.
The formula for sucrose, common sugar, is C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ .
These complex compounds are all carbohydrates, meaning composed of carbon (dioxide) and water - free in our atmosphere.
What can you make from water and air? Plants make the food that sustains almost every living creature - food that recycles itself, at no charge, using sunlight, also at no charge to us. Give thanks to the Brilliant Creator daily for His many Profound Fortuitous Interdependencies, made possible only by complex combinations of very different things and processes.
