Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation : The sophorose needs to be identified as mono-, di-, or polysaccharide.
Concept Introduction : Monosaccharidesare the monomer units of carbohydrates. They are polyhydroxy
(b)
Interpretation : The monosaccharides in the sophorose need to be identified.
Concept Introduction : Monosaccharides are the monomer units of carbohydrates. They are polyhydroxy aldehyde and ketones. They further polymerise to form disaccharide, oligosaccharide and polysaccharides. The polymerisation takes place with the formation of glycosidic linkage which is a chemical bond formed by condensation reaction as one water molecule eliminate as the side product.
(c)
Interpretation : The glycosidic link in the sophorose needs to be determined.

(d)
Interpretation : If the given sophorose has a alpha or beta form needs to be determined.
