Concept explainers

Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the organic compounds that are obtained in foods and living matters in the shape of sugars, cellulose, and starch. The general formula of carbohydrates is Cn(H2O)2. The ratio of H and O present in carbohydrates is identical to water.
Starch
Starch is a polysaccharide carbohydrate that belongs to the category of polysaccharide carbohydrates.
Mutarotation
The rotation of a particular structure of the chiral compound because of the epimerization is called mutarotation. It is the repercussion of the ring chain tautomerism. In terms of glucose, this can be defined as the modification in the equilibrium of th…
L Sugar
A chemical compound that is represented with a molecular formula C6H12O6 is called L-(-) sugar. At the carbon’s 5th position, the hydroxyl group is placed to the compound’s left and therefore the sugar is represented as L(-)-sugar. It is capable of rotat…

Chapter 20, Problem 20.73P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural difference between glucose and galactose should be explained. If it is possible for galactose to get converted into glucose in the body should be explained.

Concept introduction:

Carbohydrates and lipids are the energy sources. Carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. They are also known as saccharides because of their sweet taste.

They are classified into three categories, monosaccharide, oligosaccharide, and polysaccharides.
