Concept explainers

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 th…
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 rotat…

Chapter 17, Problem 17.40E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural difference between hexoses glucose and galactose is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A monosaccharide is the simplest form of carbohydrate. It possesses either ketone or aldehyde group with one or more than one hydroxyl groups. Disaccharides, trisaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides all involve monosaccharide as subunits. The monosaccharide glucose is called an aldohexose as it contains six carbon atoms as well as an aldehyde functional group and fructose is known as ketohexose as it contains six carbons with a ketone functional group.
