Drawing a complex carbohydrate structure
« on: June 05, 2010, 06:46:49 pm »
I've come across many questions that ask to 'draw the structural formula of a complex carbohydrate'. You can take a look at May/June 08 paper 3 question 8 for example.

I'm not sure whether to draw a polymer, a carbohydrate, e.Take Care
An explanation would be helpful, thanks.

HO-l_l-OH  = monosaccharide (Glucose

OH-|_|-O-|_|-OH = disaccharide

-O-l_l-O- = polysaccharide (starch)

By the way ~VIN1094~, is this an example of condensation polymerisation becomes water molecules are eliminated?

Glad you got it ;)

By the way you are supposed to know the structures for Nylon and Terylene as well  ..um so do you know them? ::)
