1Macromolecule class #1:
Polysaccharides
• Monomer = sugars
• Sugars = small carbohydrate molecules
• Carbohydrates ~= CnH2nOn
• Contain one C=O group and many –OH’s
• Can contain other functional groups as well (carboxyls, amines)
• Most common sugar and monomer is glucose

beta-glucose alpha-glucose
These two distinct molecules are 2 different “isomers” of glucose.These two are “steroisomers” differing only in 3-D structure.

Flat ring (Haworth projection) just gives the relative positions of the H and OH at each carbon, one is “above” the other. But it does not tell the positions of the groups relative to the plane of the ring (up, down or out)
