Polysaccharides meanwhile have a general formula of C x H 2 O y where x is usually a large number between 200 and 2500.
Although not as concentrated a fuel as fats sugars are the most important source of energy for many cells. The molecular formula of each of these disaccharides is C 12 H 22 O 11 2 C 6 H 12 O 6 H 2 O All sugars are very soluble in water because of their many hydroxyl groups. The commonest disaccharide has the molecular formula 111 000 LIKES. Glucose Fructose and Galactose are all considered.
