Chapter 11, Problem 14P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The name of the given sugar structure should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Carbohydrates are a large group of organic compounds that are present in foods, living tissues. These include sugars, cellulose, and starch. Anomers are the glycosides or cyclic monosaccharides, these are epimers. These are different from each other in the configuration of C-1(aldoses) or at C-2 (ketoses).

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The given sugar structure should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Carbohydrates are a large group of organic compounds that are present in foods, living tissues. These include sugars, cellulose, and starch. They are comprised of hydrogen and oxygen in a similar ratio as in water (2:1). They are usually broken down to release the energy in the animal body. These are of three types: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.
