Draw Fischer projections for five aldoses below: glucose, mannose, galactose, arabinose and xylose. Now draw Fischer projections for the reduced and acetylated derivatives of these aldoses. From the Fischer drawings, select the meso molecules and redraw them, this time adding a plane of symmetry. Then select the molecules having an axis of symmetry, this time adding a line that skewers the middle of the drawing to indicate this symmetry.
