its the PH3B variety.

Isn't it P3HB (poly-3-hydroxybutyrate), rather than PH3B?

its the PH3B variety.

What does that mean, though?

You don't need to know the structural formula for this biopolymer in the HSC so don't stress about it too much, that's unless the syllabus has changed this year

sorry, typo, but you know what i mean.

the structure formula may still come up in multiple choice though, esp. in dodgy school trials.

if your going to write about PHB then I advise u know the structure.

in chemistry, you just gotta make sure to impress the marker by "showing off ur chemistry".
