Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The glycosidic linkage in cellobiose should be located.
Concept Introduction:
Disaccharides are carbohydrate produced by the combination of two monosaccharides. Disaccharides are acetals. Monosaccharide contains hemiacetal. When a hemiacetal hydroxyl group is reacted with a hydroxyl group of another monosaccharide, a disaccharide is yielded.
(b)
Interpretation:
Carbon atoms in both rings should be numbered.
Concept Introduction:
When numbering carbons in a cyclic carbohydrate, the numbering starts at acetal or hemiacetal carbon that means at the anomeric carbon, giving it the number 1. And the numbering continues clockwise. O atom in the ring is not given a number.
(c)
Interpretation:
The glycosidic linkage should be classified as a and β and the location of the linkage should be designated using the numbers.
Concept Introduction:
If the glycosidic linkage is oriented down or below the plane of the ring then it is an a glycoside. If the glycosidic linkage is oriented up, above the plane of the ring, then it is a β-glycoside.

- Cellulose is treated with methanol, which methylates the reducing end of polysaccharides. (a) How many methyl groups would be incorporated per cellulose chain? Explain. (b) Relative to cellulose, how many methyl groups would be incorporated in a molecule of amylopectin? (more, less or the same?) Explain.
