- If a monosaccharide is represented by a single blue sphere, which of the following representations corresponds to (a) lactose; (b) cellulose; (c) amylopectin?arrow_forwardMonosaccharides can be categorized in terms of thenumber of carbon atoms (pentoses have five carbons andhexoses have six carbons) and according to whether theycontain an aldehyde (aldo- prefix, as in aldopentose) orketone group (keto- prefix, as in ketopentose). Classify glucoseand fructose in this way.arrow_forwardIndicate whether each statement is true or false: (a)Disaccharides are a type of carbohydrate. (b) Sucrose is amonosaccharide. (c) All carbohydrates have the formulaCnH2mOm.arrow_forward
- Suggest how you could distinguish a sample of glucose from a sample of maltose using Benedict’s reagent. [Hint: maltose is a disaccharide reducing sugar].arrow_forwardIndicate whether each statement is true or false: (a) Disaccharides are a type of carbohydrate. (b) Sucrose is a monosaccharide. (c) All carbohydrates have the formula CnH2mOm.arrow_forwardJust little explanation Asap Thanksarrow_forward
- Arabinoxylan is a copolymer of arabinose and xylose-two five-carbon sugars. A portion of the polysaccharide is shown here. (a) Identify and classify each glycosidic linkage. (b) Based on the structure, do you think arabinoxylan functions as a storage polysaccharide or a structural polysaccharide? Explain your reasoning. HOH,C. OH Но OH OH но но OH Но LO. Но HOH,C HOH2C НО OH OH CH,OHarrow_forwardCellulose 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. (c) Cellulose is treated with dimethyl sylfate, which adds a methyl group to all free hydroxyl groups. The cellulose is then hydrolyzed to release all of its monosacharides. Draw the structure of the resulting monosaccharidearrow_forwardStructures of monosaccharides are a) polymers b) pyranoses or furanoses c) aldoses or ketoses d) B and Carrow_forward
