I know the formula for a mono, and a di - but what is it for a polysaccharide. I know what it does, and its function, i just simply want the mathematical formula.
Thanks a lot
Also please please only answer if you definately know the answer, I had a big problem before when somebody guessed the answer incorrectly.

Wiki says:
Polysaccharides have a general formula of Cn(H2O)n-1 where n is usually a large number between 200 and 2500. The general formula can also be represented as (C6H10O5)n where n=40-3000.
