Question

Transcribed Image Text:Raffinose (see previous question for structure) is not digestible by humans yet is found in foods we eat all the time like beans, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, etc.
**Question:** What 2 human digestible compounds can Raffinose be broken down into?
Just as a side note, Raff (Raffinose) is NOT digestible by us, but our helpful gut bacteria break it down for us into the 2 compounds that are the answer to this question.
**Options:**
- ☐ α-D-glucose
- ☐ β-D-fructose
- ☐ sucrose
- ☐ α-D-galactose
- ☐ Lactose
- ☐ maltose

Transcribed Image Text:**Question:**
What is the following monosaccharide (ignore α/β anomer designation as well as D/L conformation)?
**Image Description:**
The image shows the chemical structure of a monosaccharide. It is a six-membered ring with an oxygen atom incorporated in the ring. There are several hydroxyl (OH) groups attached to the carbon atoms of the ring, and a CH₂OH group is attached to one of the carbons outside the ring structure.
**Answer Options:**
- o galactopyranose
- o galactofuranose
- o glucopyranose
- ● fructopyranose
- o glucofuranose
- o fructofuranose
*Note:* The correct answer, based on the chemical structure shown, is fructopyranose.
