Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Question 13:**
Which statement(s) correctly describe this disaccharide?
A. It’s the alpha anomer, and it’s a reducing sugar.
B. It’s the alpha anomer, and it’s a nonreducing sugar.
C. It’s the beta anomer, and it’s a reducing sugar.
D. It’s the beta anomer, and it’s a nonreducing sugar.
**Diagram Explanation:**
The image shows a chemical structure of a disaccharide. The structure consists of two hexose sugar rings (six-membered rings) connected by an oxygen bridge, indicating a glycosidic bond. Each ring has various hydroxyl groups (-OH) and one CH₂OH group attached. The positioning of these groups helps determine the anomer (alpha or beta) and whether the sugar is reducing or nonreducing.
