Polymerisation of glucose (1 Viewer)

So basically this is a sample answer for the polymerisation of glucose (condensation reaction to form glucose), is the second line formation of cellulose just before water is released?

They're a simultaneous process.

They're a simultaneous process.

What's that mean?

What's that mean?

It happens at the same time

 

[BlueGas]

It happens at the same time

I've got in my notes that "cellulose is a natural condensation polymer formed through the polymerisation of glucose"

Im talking about release of water and formation of cellulose They happen at the same time

Ahahaha okay but basically the second line is the formation of cellulose and the third line is release of water right?

 

[BlueGas]

Is there also a equation I can remember? Remembering the diagrams are kind of annoying.

? I don't understand what you mean by third line but water + cellulose are the products of polymerisation of glucose if that makes sense. As in if you wanted to you could write water on the second line It doesn't really matter. The formation of water is a byproduct of 2 or more glucose molecules reacting with each other, it's not a completely different reaction. Keep in mind that condensation reactions are chemical reactions which involves the formation of a polymer through monomers reacting through their functional groups. This results in the loss of a small molecule, or glucose in this case.

So C6H12O6 + C6H12O6 --> H20 + cellulose formula

Look up general equations. I'm too lazy to draw it out but it's basically
n( -insert structural equation for glucose- ) --> [ insert structural equation for cellulose ]n + (n-1)H20

Quick bump, I understand that a water molecule and cellulose is produced from the polymerisation of glucose, but from this sample answer diagram, what does the second line represent?

 

[Drsoccerball]

Cellulose

This is not the recommended way to write the polymerisation process

Instead, n(HO–C6H10O4–OH) → H–(O–C6H10O4)n–OH + (n – 1)H2O

which is pretty much what I wrote in the next two lines LOL

Also, Idk if it's possible, but I've never seen the n used in written equations and not structural.

Do you recommend me writing the diagram I linked above?
