Alkanes and Cycloalkanes

Alkanes are saturated organic compounds which are made up of C and H atoms. Alkanes have the general formula of CnH2n+2. Alkane contains sp3 hybridized carbon atoms with four sigmas (σ) bonds & every hydrogen atom is connected with one of the carbon atoms. The size of the alkane could be determined by the number of carbon atoms located in it.

Question

5.69 Carvone is present in many essential oils. It is chiral, and its two enantiomers are shown here. Even though they are
enantiomers, they have different odors. The (-) enantiomer smells like spearmint, whereas the (+) enantiomer smells
like caraway seeds. What does this say about the olfactory receptors that detect carvone?
