Concept explainers
a.
To identify:
The monosaccharide that produces disaccharide in combination with glucose.
Introduction:
The atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen combine to form simple or complex sugars. The fruit sugar is found in fruits and many of the plants. The monosaccharides are the simplest form of sugars that cannot be broken into smaller carbohydrates. UTI is caused due to less amount of vitamin C in the body and it is a type of bacterial infection.
b.
To identify:
The monosaccharide that is also called blood sugar.
Introduction:
The atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen combine to form simple or complex sugars. The fruit sugar is found in fruits and many of the plants. The monosaccharides are the simplest form of sugars that cannot be broken into smaller carbohydrates. UTI is caused due to less amount of vitamin C in the body and it is a type of bacterial infection.
c.
To identify:
The monosaccharide which is also called levulose.

- a. Classify this monosaccharide b. Does it have the D or L configuration? c. Specify the type of ring this structure has. d. Is the configuration of the anomeric carbon alpha or beta?arrow_forwarda. Identify the glycosidic linkage in disaccharide C, classify the glycosidic bond as α or β, and use numbers to designate its location.b. Identify the lettered compounds in the following reaction.arrow_forwardIdentify the glycosidic bond in the following disaccharide. (b) Decide whether the compound is a non-reducing or reducing sugar. (c) Polysaccharide units are usually bonded together with a or b 1, 6 or 1, 4 linkages. What linkage is used in the disaccharide shown below?arrow_forward
- a) Draw Haworth projections of both - and -anomers of D-fructose. Indicate which carbon is the anomeric carbon.b) Sucrose is a disaccharide made up of a molecule of D-fructose and D-glucose. Draw the structure of sucrose clearly indicating the linkage between the two monosaccharides and its biological significance.c) Tollen’s reagent is a very mild oxidizing agent which normally oxidize aldehydes but not ketones. However, both glucose and fructose give positive results with Tollen’s reagent and are classified as reducing sugars. Explain how fructose can also give positive results with Tollen’s reagent (illustrate using structures).arrow_forwardSucrose (cane sugar) is a disaccharide. One molecule of sucrose on hydrolysis gives _________.arrow_forwardusing the picture as a reference do the following: a.) draw the Haworth projection of β-D-Mannose b.) draw the disaccharide formed from two β-D-Mannose molecules with a β-1 → 4 glycosidic bondarrow_forward
- 1. Construct the two enantiomeric forms/structure of the following monosaccharides and designate the handedness of each using D, L system: a. Xylose b. Psicose c. Mannose d. Ribulosearrow_forwardConsider the tetrasaccharide stachyose drawn below. Stachyose isfound in white jasmine, soybeans, and lentils. Because humans cannotdigest it, its consumption causes flatulence. What products are formed when stachyose is hydrolyzed with H3O+?arrow_forwardThe following trisaccharide derivative is important to human health.The B and C rings are called?arrow_forward
