- Which statement about saccharides is correct? (A). Alpha anomers are more common than beta anoomers. (B). Two monosaccharides can form a disaccharide and oxygen. (C). Polysaccharides with alpha or beta glycosidic linkages have the different properties. (D). Disaccharides can be cyclic or acyclic.arrow_forwardIf 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_forward

(c) All carbohydrates have the formulaCnH2mOm.arrow_forwardSuggest 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.

OH НО OH (a) Identify the glycosidic linkage and the acetal carbon in lactose. (b) What type of glycosidic linkage does lactose have (i.e., is it 1,1'-, 1,2'-, etc., and is it a or B)? (c) People who are lactose intolerant are deficient in the enzyme lactase, and therefore cannot efficiently break down the disaccharide into its monosaccharides. When lactose is treated with aqueous acid, however, this hydrolysis can take place, though relatively slowly. Draw the complete, detailed mechanism and the products of the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of lactose.

- 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. (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.
