Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 1LGP
The predominant conformation for D-glucose is shown here. Why is it not surprising that D-glucose is the most commonly found sugar in nature? (Hint: Look up structures for sugars such as D-galactose and D-mannose, and compare these with D-glucose.)

Two sugars differing in configuration at a single asymmetric carbon atom are known as epimers.
D-mannose is a C-2 epimer of glucose (Structure I), while D-galactose is a C-4 epimer of glucose. Structure II and III are
II: galactose, III: mannose
II: mannose; III: galactose
II and III are mannose
II and III are galactose
Are these molecules.... conformers? Enantiomers? Diastereomers? Meso compounds?
