- Why can six-carbon sugars sometimes form furanose rings and other times pyranose rings?arrow_forwardDraw the structural formula for α-D-glucosyl-(1→6)-D-mannosamine,and circle the part of this structure that makes the compound a reducing sugar.arrow_forwardDraw a Fischer projection of L-fucose and L-hexose. What are the similarities in their structure?arrow_forward
- Is sucrose a reducing or non-reducing sugar? Explain. Is lactose a reducing non reducing sugar? Explain.arrow_forwardDraw the following sugars using Haworth projections:a. b-d-galactopyranose b. a-d-tagatopyranose c. a-l-glucopyranosearrow_forwardDraw the structure of malibiose a sugar found in plants and answer the following question: a) What two monosaccharides are formed on hydrolysis of melibiose? b) Is melibiose a reducing sugar? Explain. c) Describe the glycosidic linkage between the two mono- saccharide units.arrow_forward
- A student decided that the configuration of the asymmetric centers in a sugar such as d-glucose could be determined rapidly by simply assigning the Rconfiguration to an asymmetric center with an OH group on the right and the S configuration to an asymmetric center with an OH group on the left. Ishe correct? (We will see in Chapter 20 that the “d” in d-glucose means that the OH group on the bottommost asymmetric center is on the right.)arrow_forwardRaffinose is a trisaccharide and a minor constituent in sugar beets. (a) Is raffinose a reducing sugar?Explain. (b) What are the monosaccharides that compose raffinose ? (c) β - Galactosidase is an enzyme that will remove galactose residues from an oligosaccharide. What are the products of β - galactosidase treatment of raffinose ?arrow_forwardDraw a glycerol bonded to two stearic acids and a phosphate group with an “R” group attached – forming a phosphatidyl ester, please show workarrow_forward
