Youâve got the new (and cheap) steak of summer. One reason we really love quick-cooking short ribs: Itâs an extremely forgiving cut of meat thatâs pretty much impossible to overcook (and when you think about how magical they are in three-hour braises, that makes sense).
The tough carbohydrate (polysaccharide) that makes up the cell walls of fungi, and the exoskeletons of insects, crustaceans, and other arthropods. Kingdom in the domain Eukarya that includes molds, mushrooms, and yeasts.
Often, other polymers such as lignin, suberin or cutin are anchored to or embedded in plant cell walls. Algae possess walls made of glycoproteins and polysaccharides such as carrageenan and agar that are absent from land plants. In bacteria, the cell wall is composed of peptidoglycan. The cell walls of archaea have various compositions, and may be formed of glycoprotein S-layers, pseudopeptidoglycan, or polysaccharides. Fungi possess cell walls made of the glucosamine polymer chitin. Unusually, diatoms have a cell wall composed of biogenic silica.
