Draw two structures (one straight chain and one ring) of a carbohydrate with the chemical formula (CH2O6).
2 answers:
I think you mean (CH2O)6, it is the formula for glucose (or it could be written C6H12O6).
The linear structure is characterized by the presence in the same molecule of a reducing function aldehyde or ketone and at least one alcohol function.
On the other hand, this linear form can be transformed into a cyclic form (in the solutions), and this implies the formation of hemiacetal by bonding between the aldehyde of carbon 1 and the alcohol of the penultimate carbon.
The chemical formula CH2O6 is not a carbohydrate unless it was written this way:
(CH2O)6 which is now the chemical formula of glucose.
Glucose has a linear and a cyclic structure. I will attach the structures since it's difficult to describe the drawing. The first one is straight chain and the next one is the ring.

- The genotype is a set of genes in the DNA which are responsible for the unique trait or characteristics.
- Whereas the phenotype is the physical appearance or characteristic of the organism.
- Thus, we can find the human genetic code with the help of their genotype.
- Organisms may look the same but still may not have the same genotype.
- One can determine the genotype by the biological tests.
- On the other hand, the phenotype is determined by an individual’s genotype and can be expressed as genes or by the visible traits.
- Such traits are hair color or type, eye color body shape, and height, and many such more.
- It will depend on the genotype but also influenced by the factors existing in the surrounding.
