One macromolecule isolated from an organism has a formula of C22H24O2 and another has a formula of C22H24O22. Based on the formulas alone, speculate and justify the likely identity of each macromolecule.

Both molecules are long chain based polymers of carbohydrates. This can easily be told based on the fact that the 3 main elements that make up a sugar are present C, H and O.

This would be C11H12O11 in terms of simple empirical formula.
