Q
is c6h12o6 a polymer
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
C6H12O6, commonly known as glucose, is not a polymer but rather a monomer, the basic building block for more complex carbohydrates. Polymers consist of long chains or networks of repeating units (monomers). In the context of carbohydrates, when multiple glucose molecules (monomers) bond together through glycosidic linkages, they form polysaccharides like starch, cellulose, and glycogen, which are true polymers. Glucose, therefore, serves as a fundamental unit for constructing these complex carbohydrate structures but is itself a simple sugar and not a polymer.
