I really need help in M/J 05 Q5 for the following questions:

(iv) The synthetic polymer, nylon, has the same linkage as proteins. Draw the structural
formula of nylon.

(b) Enzymes called carbohydrases can hydrolyse complex carbohydrates to simple sugars
which can be represented as HO-(rectangle)-OH. Draw the structure of a complex
carbohydrate.

Heres the link to the paper if you need it: http://www.xtremepapers.net/CIE/Cambrid ... 5_qp_3.pdf
