Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the fumaric acid is cis or trans isomer needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The cis-trans isomers, also known as geometric isomers, are isomers which have same molecular formula but have different permanent position in space.
They are also known as geometric isomers.
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of maleic acid and the geometric isomer of fumaric acid is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The cis-trans isomers, also known as geometric isomers, are isomers which have same molecular formula but have different permanent position in space.
They are also known as geometric isomers.
(c)
Interpretation:
The possibility of cis-trans isomer of succinic acid is to be determined and if it exists then line drawing of isomer is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The cis-trans isomers, also known as geometric isomers, are isomers which have same molecular formula but have different permanent position in space.

- Monosaccharides 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(b) Which of the following common amino acids has more than one amino group?arrow_forwardOne of the cyclic forms of D-ribose has the structure CH2OH OH ОНОН (a) How many anomeric carbon atoms are present in this structure?

- 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.
