The C2-epimer of D-xylose is called (blank 1). The enediol rearrangement converts an aldose into a (blank 2). The aldopentose embedded in RNA is (blank 3).
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.
The C2-epimer of D-xylose is called (blank 1). The enediol rearrangement
converts an aldose into a (blank 2). The aldopentose embedded in RNA is
(blank 3). An aldopentose would have (blank 4) possible stereoisomers,
of whichBlankwould be D-sugars. An ketopentose would have (blank 4) possible
stereoisomers, of which (blank 5) would be D-sugars
Carbohydrates are compounds having a carbonyl group and more than one hydroxyl group. They can be called polyhydroxy aldehydes or polyhydroxy ketones. If the carbonyl group present in a carbohydrate is an aldehydic group, then it is called aldose. If the carbonyl group present in a carbohydrate is a ketonic group, then it is called ketose.
