Please provide the solution to part a) of the attached question 

Thanks!

The two structures shown below are in equilibrium with one another and are said to be
two anomeric forms (or anomers) of glucose.
a. Circle all of the following terms that could be used to describe the relationship
between these two anomeric forms: isomers, stereoisomers, enantiomers,
constitutional isomers, diastereomers.
b. Why do the two anomeric forms of glucose rotate plane polarized light but have a
different magnitude of specific rotation from one another?
c. Label the stereocenter at far right on each structure as R or S as appropriate for
both anomeric forms.
