8. The sweet stuff. Carbohydrates are also called sugars and have the general chemical formula (CH2O)n. Based on this
formula, glucose, which contains six carbons (n = 6) would have a specific chemical formula of C6H12O6. Most sugars
appear as a ring of carbons with oxygen and hydrogens attached.
8.1. Refer to figure 2.18, then draw glucose.
8.2. When two carbohydrates bond, they do so through a reaction called ______________________________ (2 words).
This produces a molecule called a _____________________________. A molecule comprising numerous
carbohydrates is called a _____________________________.
8.3. Plants store glucose in a long-chained molecule called __________________________. Your liver stores glucose in
a similar, long-chained molecule, but the molecule has many branches to it. What’s this molecule called?
