Concept explainers
a.
Interpretation:
Arabinose has to be classified based on the number of carbon atoms present in the chain and also the carbonyl group.
Concept Introduction:
Simplest carbohydrates are known as monosaccharides. They contain three to six carbons generally in a chain form with a carbonyl group present in the terminal or the adjacent carbon atom from the terminal. Monosaccharides that have the carbonyl group at the terminal carbon atom
The number of carbon atoms present in the chain characterize the monosaccharide. They are given below.
- Carbon chain with three carbon atoms is triose.
- Carbon chain with four carbon atoms is tetrose.
- Carbon chain with five carbon atoms is as pentose.
- Carbon chain with six carbon atoms is as hexose.
b.
Interpretation:
Threose has to be classified based on the number of carbon atoms present in the chain and also the carbonyl group.
Concept Introduction:
Refer part “a.”.
c.
Interpretation:
Erythrulose has to be classified based on the number of carbon atoms present in the chain and also the carbonyl group.
Concept Introduction:
Refer part “a.”.
