Concept explainers
a.
To identify:
The given monosaccharide as D- or L- isomer.
Introduction:
The most abundant monosaccharide found in nature is glucose. The Fischer projection explains the monosaccharides as D and L isomers. The horizontal lines on the chiral center represent the wedges, and the vertical lines on the chiral center represent the dashes.
