Concept explainers
Interpretation:
To draw the open chain structure of sorbitol and this molecule is five or six membered cyclic acetal it should be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Carbohydrates: These molecules are large class of naturally occurring polyhydroxy
Monosaccharide: It is simple sugar the carbohydrate contain three to seven carbon atoms in respective place.
Aldose: A monosaccharide that contains a one aldehyde group in
Ketose: A monosaccharide that contains a one keto carbonyl group in
Acetal: An acetal is one of organic molecule where two separate oxygen atoms are single bonded to a central carbon atom it is called acetal. In other words compound that has two ether groups

- In 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_forwardName the following fatty acids by the symbol (C:B)arrow_forwarda. Is the disaccharide below a non-reducing sugar? yes or no b. The glycosidic linkage in the disaccharide is what β-(1-2) linkage, α-(1-2) linkage, β-(1-4) linkage, or α-(1-4) linkage? c. The products of hydrolysis of the disaccharide (which of the ff.) α-galactose and α-ribose α-glucose and α-fructose α-fructose and α-galactose α-glucose and α-galactosearrow_forward
- Indicate whether each of the following pairs of sugars consists of anomers , epimers , or an aldose–ketose pair: (a) D - glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone (b) D -glucose and D -mannose (c) D -glucose and D -fructose (d) α - D -glucose and β - D -glucose (e) D -ribose and D - ribulose (f) D - galactose and D -glucosearrow_forwardIn the monosaccharide derivatives known as sugar alcohols, the carbonyl oxygen is reduced to a hydroxyl group. For example, D-glyceraldehyde can be reduced to glycerol. However, this sugar alcohol is no longer designated D or L. Why?arrow_forwardDraw the structure of a triacylglycerol whose components are glycerol and three oleic acid acyl groups.arrow_forward
- Raffinose, the most abundant trisaccharide found in nature, occurs in whole grains and numerous vegetables (e.g., asparagus, cabbage, and beans). Hydrolysis of raffinose yields galactose and sucrose. Provide the systematic name for this trisaccharide. Is raffinose a reducing or nonreducing sugar? Is raffinose capable of mutarotation?arrow_forwardThe fact that acid-anhydride bonds are less stable than ester bonds helps explain the fact that the bond between the: Beta- and gamma-phosphoryl groups in atp is a high energy bond, but not the bond between the alpha-phosphorly groups and the hydroxyl of ribose. Phosphorly groups and the hydroxyl at the C-3 position in 3-phosphoglycerate is a high-energy bond. Beta- gamma- phosphoryl groups in ATP is a high-energy bond, but not bond between the alpha and beta-phosphoryl groups. Alpha-phosphorly group (i.e, the one nearest the ribose) and the hydroxyl at the 5’ position in ATP is a high-energy bond.arrow_forwardWrite a balanced equation for the formation of glycogen from galactose.arrow_forward
- Which of these is an ketohexose? a) fructose b) glucose c) ribose d) erythrose Which of these is a constitutional isomer of d-glucose? a) fructose b) galactose c) l-glucose d) ribose Which of these is an enantiomer of d-glucose? a) d-fructose b) d- galactose c) l-glucose d) d-ribose Which of these is a diastereomer of d-glucose? a) d- fructose b) d-galactose c) l-glucose d) d-ribosearrow_forwardWhich of the following is true of glucitol? It exists as both ring and open-chain structures with the open-chain structure predominating. It exists only as an open-chain structure. It exists as both ring and open-chain structures with the ring structure predominating. It exists only as a ring structure.arrow_forwardName the enantiomer of D-glucose.arrow_forward
