Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The classification of the given monosaccharide as an aldo-or keto- triose, tetrose, pentose, or hexose is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Carbohydrates are the polyhydroxy
(b)
Interpretation:
The classification of the given monosaccharide as an aldo- or keto- triose, tetrose, pentose, or hexose is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Carbohydrates are the polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones or in other words the substances that give polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones are called carbohydrates. They can be classified on the basis of number of carbon atoms and referred as triose, tetrose, pentose and hexose when it contains three, four, five and six carbon atoms respectively. Monosaccharide is the polyhydroxy aldehyde or ketone that contains only one aldehyde or ketone unit. Monosaccharide does not undergo hydrolysis.

- 11. Which of the following best describes the following characteristics/structure: 10 triose units linked together? a. polyunsaturated b. disaccharide c. polysaccharide d.monosaccharide e. proteinarrow_forwarda. Identify the glycosidic linkage in disaccharide C, classify the glycosidic bond as α or β, and use numbers to designate its location.b. Identify the lettered compounds in the following reaction.arrow_forward1. Honey formation depends on invertase activity to convert sucrose from flower nectar into simple monosaccharides. Explain why this contributes to the different sweetness level between the two honeys. 2. Does high concentration of lactose sugar affect the texture of an ice cream? Explain.arrow_forward
- a) 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_forwardFor the disaccharide shown below, (A) name the glycosidic bond including the location numbers (B) identify the anomeric carbons (C) classify the sugar as a beta- or alpha- sugararrow_forward
