Chapter 28, Problem 28.31P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The polysaccharide formed by joining D-mannose units in $\text{1}\to \text{4-β-}$glycosidic linkages is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: Monosaccharides are the small units of simple sugars. Polysaccharides are made up of repeating units of monosaccharides. These small units are joined together by glycoside linkage.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The polysaccharide formed by joining D-glucose units in $\text{1}\to 6\text{-β-}$glycosidic linkages is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: Monosaccharides are the small units of simple sugars. Polysaccharides are made up of small units of monosaccharides. These small units are joined together by glycoside linkage.
