All of the following are differences between the Fischer and Haworth projection structures of monosaccharides except? A. The Fischer structure is linear while the Haworth structure is cyclic. B. The Haworth structure exhibit anomerism while the Fischer structure has no anomerism. C. The Haworth structure have the -OH moities located up or down the plane while they are on the left or right side in the Fischer structure. D. The Fischer structure is planar while the Haworth structure is three-dimensional. E. The Haworth structure is used in drawing disaccharides and polysaccharides but not the Fischer structure.
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the organic compounds that are obtained in foods and living matters in the shape of sugars, cellulose, and starch. The general formula of carbohydrates is Cn(H2O)2. The ratio of H and O present in carbohydrates is identical to water.
Starch
Starch is a polysaccharide carbohydrate that belongs to the category of polysaccharide carbohydrates.
Mutarotation
The rotation of a particular structure of the chiral compound because of the epimerization is called mutarotation. It is the repercussion of the ring chain tautomerism. In terms of glucose, this can be defined as the modification in the equilibrium of the α- and β- glucose anomers upon its dissolution in the solvent water. This process is usually seen in the chemistry of carbohydrates.
L Sugar
A chemical compound that is represented with a molecular formula C6H12O6 is called L-(-) sugar. At the carbon’s 5th position, the hydroxyl group is placed to the compound’s left and therefore the sugar is represented as L(-)-sugar. It is capable of rotating the polarized light’s plane in the direction anticlockwise. L isomers are one of the 2 isomers formed by the configurational stereochemistry of the carbohydrates.
