- Identify the type of isomerism exhibited by the following pairs of monosaccharides D-glyceraldehyde & dihydroxyacetone D-glucose & D-mannose α-D-glucose & β-D-glucose d-galactose & l-galactose D-glucose & D-allose A. optical isomers B. Diastereomers C. Epimers D. enantiomers E. Functional Isomersarrow_forwardAssume you could make a trisaccharide by covalently joining xylose (C5H10O5) , xylose (C5H10O5) and fructose (C6H12O6). So 2x xylose, 1x fructose. What would be the chemical formula of this trisaccharide assuming regular dehydration synthesis as discussed in class? You do not need to worry about which carbons are being used for forming these glycosidic linkages.arrow_forwardFor the first part, draw a Fischer projection formula for the enantiomer of each of the following monosaccharides. For the second part, identify whether the images are in D- or L-configuration. Write your answers first on a piece of bond paper.arrow_forward
- Trehalose, a disaccharide found in the blood of insects, has the following structure. What simple sugars would you obtain on hydrolysis of trehalose?arrow_forwardWrite the structural formula of a triacylglycerol that contains one unit each of lauric acid, palmitic acid, and oleic acid. How many other triacylglycerols, each containing all three of these acids, are possible?arrow_forwardGlucose-1-phosphate has a ΔG°′ value of −20.9 kJ/mol, whereas that for glucose-6-phosphate is −12.5 kJ/mol. After reviewing the molecular structures of these compounds, explain why there is such a difference in these values.arrow_forward
- Draw a Fischer projection of L-fucose and L-hexose. What are the similarities in their structure?arrow_forwardThe following structure is sorbose Answer the following questions and briefly explain Draw β-D-sorbufuranose Draw β-D-sorbufuranosyl(2->1) β-D-glucopyranoside. Is this reducing sugar? What would be the probable function of this disaccharide, structural or storage?arrow_forwarddraw a fischer projection formula for the enantiomer of each of the following monosaccharides.arrow_forward
- Draw the structure of: a. 1-palmitoleyl-2-linolenyl-3-stearyltriglyceride. b. 1-linolenyl-2-arachidyl-3-phosphatidylserine.arrow_forwardIn solution, glucose exists predominantly in the cyclic hemiacetal form, which does not contain an aldehyde group. How is it possible for mild oxidizing agents to oxidize glucose?arrow_forwardDraw structures corresponding to the following names:(a) 3-Methylhexan-1-ol (b) 1-Methyl-3-propylcyclopentanol(c) 2,2-Dimethylhexan-3-ol (d) Heptan-3-ol(e) 2,3-Diethylcyclohexanolarrow_forward
