**Question 12 of 24****Title:** Identifying the Anomeric Carbon**Question:** Which carbon is the anomeric carbon in the structure shown here?### DiagramA hexagonal ring structure is illustrated, representing a carbohydrate molecule. The carbons in the ring are labeled A, B, C, D, and E. Various hydroxyl (OH) groups and hydrogen atoms are attached to these carbons. **Key Points of the Diagram:**- **Carbon A:** Attached to one hydroxyl group and one hydrogen atom.- **Carbon B:** Attached to one hydroxyl group and one hydrogen atom.- **Carbon C:** Attached to the end of the hexagonal structure.- **Carbon D:** Attached to a CH2OH group and one hydroxyl group.- **Carbon E:** Attached to one hydroxyl group and one hydrogen atom. ### Multiple Choice Options:- **A) A**- **B) B**- **C) C**- **D) D** (Selected Answer)- **E) E****Explanation:** In carbohydrate chemistry, the anomeric carbon is the carbonyl carbon (carbon 1 in aldoses) or adjacent carbon (carbon 2 in ketoses) that becomes a chiral center during ring formation. In this structure, carbon D is identified as the anomeric carbon.#### Notes:Understanding the role of the anomeric carbon is crucial in stereochemistry and the reactivity of carbohydrates. The variations in the substituent groups on this carbon determine the formation of α and β anomers, influencing physical properties and biological functions.

Anomeric carbon is the hemiacetal carbon of a cyclic sugar. The hemiacetal carbon is a chiral centre…
