Chapter 11, Problem 7P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The given sugar pair (D-glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone)

should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Carbohydrates are a large group of organic compounds that are present in foods, living tissues. These include sugars, cellulose, and starch. Anomers are the glycosides or cyclic monosaccharides that are epimers. These are different from each other in the configuration of C-1 (aldoses) or at C-2 if (ketoses).

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The given sugar pair should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Carbohydrates are a large group of organic compounds that are present in foods, living tissues. These include sugars, cellulose, and starch. These are comprised of hydrogen and oxygen in a similar ratio as in water (2:1). They are usually broken down to release the energy in the animal body. These are of three types: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The given sugar pair (D-glucose and D-fructose) should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Carbohydrates are a large group of organic compounds that are present in foods, living tissues. These include sugars, cellulose, and starch. These are comprised of hydrogen and oxygen in a similar ratio as in water (2:1). They are usually broken down to release the energy in the animal body. These are of three types: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The given sugar pair (a-D-glucose and β-D-glucose) should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Carbohydrates are a large group of organic compounds that are present in foods, living tissues. These include sugars, cellulose, and starch. These are comprised of hydrogen and oxygen in a similar ratio as in water (2:1). They are usually broken down to release the energy in the animal body. These are of three types: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation:

The given sugar pair (D-ribose and D-ribulose) should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Carbohydrates are a large group of organic compounds that are present in foods, living tissues. These include sugars, cellulose, and starch. These are comprised of hydrogen and oxygen in a similar ratio as in water (2:1). They are usually broken down to release the energy in the animal body. These are of three types: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.

Interpretation Introduction

(f)

Interpretation:

The given sugar pair (D-galactose and D-glucose) should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Carbohydrates are a large group of organic compounds that are present in foods, living tissues. These include sugars, cellulose, and starch. These are comprised of hydrogen and oxygen in a similar ratio as in water (2:1). They are usually broken down to release the energy in the animal body.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Long explanations are not needed. Direct answers would suffice.   a. Which of the following is NOT an example of structural polysaccharides? I. amylose II. cellulose III. chitin   b. Which of the following is the epimer of glucose at C-2? I. gulose II. galactose III. mannose IV. fructose V. talose
Long explanations are not needed. Direct answers would suffice.    a. Carbohydrates can function in livings systems as any of the following, EXCEPT: i. storage of energy ii. structural and mechanical support iii. aid in cell surface recognition iv. storage of genetic information v. source of ATP when catabolized   b. Which of the following structural representations best describes an open-chain monosaccharide, either an aldose or a ketose? i. Fischer projection ii chair conformation iii boat conformation iv. Haworth projection
. Explain what is meant by the term, “high energy compound”. Name a thioester molecule that is  commonly found in biochemical reactions. Explain why thioesters are “high energy”  compounds.  Describe the molecular structure of cellulose. How does this structure explain why cellulose  forms strong fibers? Explain why digestion of cellulose takes a long time even when catalyzed  by an enzyme.  The enzyme phosphofructokinase transfers a phosphate from ATP to the hydroxyl group a C1 of  fructose. Similar to fructose, water also has a hydroxyl group and the concentration of water is  much higher than that of fructose. Explain why the phosphate is transferred to fructose and not  to water.
