Carbohydrates (also referred to as glycans) have the basic composition: Monosaccharides - simple sugars, with multiple hydroxyl groups. Based on the number of carbons (e.g., 3, 4, 5, or 6) a monosaccharide is a triose, tetrose, pentose, or hexose, etc. Disaccharides - two monosaccharides covalently linked. Oligosaccharides - a few monosaccharides covalently linked.
A âperson with parental responsibilityâ means someone with the rights and responsibilities that parents have in law for their child, including the right to consent to medical treatment for them, up to the age of 18 years in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and up to 16 years in Scotland.

A 17 year old will be prosecuted as an adult if charged with a crime. Over 14 years of age, a child cannot be adopted unless they consent. A 16 year old may ask for a parental consent waiver for an abortion.
