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 24, Problem 24.52P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The galactosemia resulting from a defect in monosaccharide metabolism needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Galactosemia happens when an enzyme, known as 'galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase' is either not working properly or missing. The job of this enzyme is to alter galactose to glucose. If treated, the extra galactose will disturb various parts of the body and, with time, might be dangerous.
