They are sometimes represented by the formula Cx(H2O)y where x is usually a large number between 200 and 2500. Also, considering that the repeating units in the polymer backbone are often six-carbon monosaccharides, the general formula can also be represented as (C6H10O5)n where 40≤n≤3000. This is the more common one.
What else can I help you with?
Are polysaccharides isomers?
No, polysaccharides are not isomers. Isomers are compounds with the same chemical formula but different structural arrangements. Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates made up of repeating units of simple sugars like glucose, fructose, and galactose.
What are the primary elements that make up polysaccharides?
Polysaccharides are made up of multiple monosaccharide units linked together by glycosidic bonds. These monosaccharide units can be the same (homopolysaccharides) or different (heteropolysaccharides). Examples of common monosaccharide units in polysaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose.
Is polysaccharides a portein?
No. Polysaccharides are carbohydrates.

What is the general formula of carbohydrates?
[CsH(2s-2)O(s-1)]n.H2O with s = 3 up to 6 , (5 and 6 being most common) with n = 1 (monosaccharides) up to 'thousands' (polysaccharides) Eg. [C6H10O5]n.H2O poly-hexoses like starch
What are exmaples of polysaccharides?
Starch and Cellulose are both polysaccharides
Are polysaccharides carbs?
Yes, polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates.
What element is herapin?
Herapin is a polysaccaride. Polysaccharides have a general formula of Cn(H2O)n-1 where n is number between 200 and 2500
What is the chemical formula for a polyaccharide?
Polysaccharides have a general formula of Cx(H2O)y where x is usually a large number between 200 and 2500. The general formula can also be represented as (C6H10O5)n where 40≤n≤3000 because of the repeating backbone
What are polysaccharides made by animals?
Carbohydrates, are polysaccharides of glucose, made by animals.
