I am just doing my biology AP homework.

So Structural isomers differ in covalent arrangements of their atoms.

Geometric isomers have the same covalent partnership but they differ in their spatial arrangements.

Here are some pictures of them:

The structural view would be a today chain with the branch(es) off downward or upward. The geometric isomer would be drawn ‘isometrically’ so as that a branch would be shown at an perspective to the main chain and whether it is going in the back of or in front of the main chain.
