Remember to state your reasoning in complete sentence.arrow_forwardThe fructose in honey is mainly in the β-D-pyranose form. This is oneof the sweetest carbohydrates known, about twice as sweet as glucose; the β-D-furanose form of fructose is much less sweet. The sweetness of honey gradually decreases at a high temperature. Also, high-fructose corn syrup (a commercial product in which much of the glucose in corn syrup is converted to fructose) is used for sweetening cold but not hot drinks. What chemical property of fructose could account for both these observations?arrow_forwardGlucose, fructose, and galactose share the same molecular formula, but the arrangement of their atoms differ in space. What term describes the statement?arrow_forward
- The diversity of functional groups on sugars that can form glycosidic bonds greatly increases the information content of glycans relative to oligopeptides. Consider three amino acids, A, B, and C. How many tripeptides can be formed from one molecule of each amino acid? Now consider three sugars- glucose, glucuronic acid, and N-acetylglucosamine. Use shorthand (eg., Glca(1 → 4)GICUAB(1 → 4)GICNAC) to represent 10 trisaccharides with the sequence Glc-GlcUA-GluNAc.
