In the glucose molecule, why is the oxygen at carbon 5 the one that reacts with carbon 1 when there is an additional carbon at the end of the chain, carbon 6? a. Due to the chirality of the last carbon, carbon 6 b. Because carbon 5 is the last chiral carbon C. Because the oxygen at carbon 5 is in alpha position just like the oxygen at carbon 1
