Concept Introduction:
Monosaccharides are made from the biomolecules that comprise carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms. These molecules cannot be broken into the simpler compounds. The disaccharides and polysaccharides further formed from monosaccharide units. The numbers of isomers are obtained from biomolecules due to the chiral nature of carbon atoms. Chiral molecules are those molecules that consist of different groups or atoms around the central atom. Isomers are those compounds that have a same molecular formula but a different arrangement of atoms, groups or substituent's in a compound.
c)
Interpretation:
The other pair of aldohexoses that are oxidized to identical aldaric acids are to be stated.

- Fructose in its bβ - D - pyranose form accounts for the powerful sweetness of honey. The β - D - furanose form, although sweet, is not as sweet as the pyranose form. The furanose form is the more stable form. Draw the two forms and explain why it may not always be wise to cook with honey.arrow_forwardWhat is the corresponding energy difference expected between these two - D glucose? And what is interconversion between these isomeric sugars?arrow_forwardWhy is molecule "A" the major acetal formed when d-erythrose reacts with H2SO4 and acetone as opposed to molecule "B"?arrow_forward
- i would like to ask the following questions: 1. Aside from the reagent and the positive results, what is the difference between Fehling’s Test, Moore’s test and Benedict’s Test if they are all used to detect the presence of reducing sugar?2. In Benedict’s Test, why are there different colors? Why not just one color in varying shades?3. Why is sucrose not a reducing sugar even though most disaccharides are reducing sugars?arrow_forwardTo synthesize D-galactose, a student went to the stockroom to get some D-lyxose to use as a starting material. She found that the labels had fallen off the bottles containing D-lyxose and D-xylose. How can she determine which bottle contains D-lyxose?arrow_forwardRegarding the following monosaccharides, indicate the CORRECT alternative: a) Only Gulosa, Idosa and Mannose can produce alditols because they are aldoses. b) There is only one pair of epimers. c) The reaction of Idosa with HNO3 converts it into a product without optical activity. d) Only two monosaccharides will give a positive result with Fehling's reagent. e) Mutarotation converts D-psychose into an aldose.arrow_forward
