A monosaccharide designated as an aldehyde sugar contains(a) a terminal carboxyl group (b) an internal carboxyl group(c) a terminal carbonyl group (d) an internal carbonyl group(e) a terminal carboxyl group and an internal carbonyl group
Suppose you had an organic molecule such as cysteine (see Figure 4.9,sulfhydryl group example), and you chemically removed the --NH2 group and replaced it with --COOH. Draw this structure. How would this change the chemical properties of the molecule? Is the central carbon asymmetric before the change? After?
Look at these two carbohydrates carefully. Both have the chemical formula C6H12O6, yet they have different names and different chemical properties. What accounts for this difference if they have the same number of carbons, hydrogens, and oxygens?
