Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Glycosidic linkage has to be located in cellobiose.
Concept Introduction:
Carbohydrates that are composed of two monosaccharide units are known as disaccharides. This is formed when one hydroxyl group of one monosaccharide reacts with a hydroxyl group of another monosaccharide. The bond formed between the two monosaccharide units is
Depending on the orientation of the glycosidic linkage, the glycoside bond can be of two types. They are
(b)
Interpretation:
The carbon atoms has to be numbered in both rings of cellobiose.
(c)
Interpretation:
Glycosidic linkage has to be classified as

- (a) Locate the glycosidic linkage in cellobiose. (b) Number the carbon atoms in both rings. (c) Classify the glycosidic linkage as α or β, and use numbers to designate its location.arrow_forwardDraw the following compounds: Cellobiose: 2 glucose β-1,4arrow_forwardCellobiose, a disaccharide obtained by the hydrolysis of cellulose, is composed of two glucose units joined together in a 1→4-β-glycoside bond. What is the structure of cellobiose?arrow_forward
- Crocin, which occurs naturally in crocus and gardenia flowers, isprimarily responsible for the color of saffron. Q: What lipid and monosaccharides are formed by the hydrolysis of crocin?arrow_forwardBoth triglycerides shown below contained fatty acids that are 16 carbon long. However, one is classified as a fat, and the other is regarded as the oil. (A) How does one distinguish fat from oils? (B) Which triglyceride is the fat? Which one is oil?arrow_forwarda) Draw Haworth projections of both - and -anomers of D-fructose. Indicate which carbon is the anomeric carbon.b) Sucrose is a disaccharide made up of a molecule of D-fructose and D-glucose. Draw the structure of sucrose clearly indicating the linkage between the two monosaccharides and its biological significance.c) Tollen’s reagent is a very mild oxidizing agent which normally oxidize aldehydes but not ketones. However, both glucose and fructose give positive results with Tollen’s reagent and are classified as reducing sugars. Explain how fructose can also give positive results with Tollen’s reagent (illustrate using structures).arrow_forward
- Consider the tetrasaccharide stachyose drawn below. Stachyose is found in white jasmine, soybeans, and lentils. Because humans cannot digest it, its consumption causes flatulence.a. Label all glycoside bonds.b. Classify each glycosidic linkage as α or β and use numbers to designate its location between two rings (e.g., 1→4-β).c. What products are formed when stachyose is hydrolyzed with H3O+?d. Is stachyose a reducing sugar?e. What product is formed when stachyose is treated with excess CH3I, Ag2O?f. What products are formed when the product in (e) is treated with H3O+?arrow_forwardFor the disaccharide shown below, use an arrow to identify the glycosidic bond and classifyit as a(n) β-1, 6, α-1, 6, β-1, 4, or α-1, 4 glycosidic bondarrow_forwardConsider the tetrasaccharide stachyose drawn below. Stachyose is found in white jasmine, soybeans, and lentils. Because humans cannot digest it, its consumption causes flatulence.a. Label all glycoside bonds.b. Classify each glycosidic linkage as αα or ββ and use numbers to designate its location between two rings (e.g., 1→→4-ββ)-c. What products are formed when stachyose is hydrolyzed with H33O++?d.
