Building Carbohydrates

In class on Friday we built carbohydrates. We started with glucose and then created fructose molecules. We then simulated (simplified...) dehydration reactions to make maltose). Check it out!



After we were happy with our maltose molecules we decided to get a little more complicated....Check out our class polysaccharide!!





Now, if we used 8 maltose molecules to make our class polypeptide, how many water molecules were produced??
