Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The term monosaccharide, disaccharide, reducing sugar, anomers, enantiomer and aldohexoses whether applies to both the members of the given pair or not has to be stated.
Concept introduction: Monosaccharides are those type of sugars which cannot be hydrolysed further.
Disaccharides are those type of sugars which have two units of monosaccharides.
The enantiomers are the molecules that form non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
Carbon atom which behaves as a stereocenter in the cyclic form of the hemiacetal compound is known as anomeric carbon. The molecule containing the anomeric carbon is called anomer.
The monosaccharides that have
The sugars that have a free carbonyl group are called reducing sugars.
