in conquering chemistry is states that "each glucose unit has 4 carbon atoms joined together in a chain"(bttm p 23)
Is it supposed to be 5 or am I missing something.

 

[za]

I thought so, but could u please tell me wat is it that im missing

 

[za]

fair enough about that, but then why is it only four c's instead of six that are mentioned in the book

 

[za]

dude, you have to give people a chance, we're not all online the same time as you, and maybe the people that are online dont know.
to post 4 posts within less than half an hour is ludicrous.
