a.
To classify:
The structure A as an enantiomer or a diastereomer of D-galactose.
Introduction:
The galactose has one of its chiral centers opposite to that of glucose. During glycolysis, the body can chemically convert galactose into glucose through a series of steps which includes an enzyme known as epimerase.
