Draw a Haworth projection for a repeating tetramer (ie, two repeating dimers) of such a polysaccharide. What organism might use this as a food source?arrow_forward
- Why is sucrose a non-reducing sugar with Benedict’s solution while lactose is a reducing sugar under the same condition?arrow_forward1) Please list all glycosidic linkages between each monosaccharide units. For example, α(1→4)2) Please discuss whether these oligo/polysaccharides would be reducing or non-reducing sugar. Remember to state your reasoning in complete sentence.arrow_forwardDraw the structural formula for -D-glucosyl-(1n6)-D-mannosamine and circle the part of this structure that makes the compound a reducing sugar.arrow_forward
- Raffinose, the most abundant trisaccharide found in nature, occurs in whole grains and numerous vegetables (e.g., asparagus, cabbage, and beans). Hydrolysis of raffinose yields galactose and sucrose. Provide the systematic name for this trisaccharide. Is raffinose a reducing or nonreducing sugar? Is raffinose capable of mutarotation?arrow_forwardWhat is the pyranose/furanose ring structure of this sugar?arrow_forwardGentiobiose (D-Glc(β1→6)D-Glc) is a disaccharide found in some plantglycosides. Draw the structure of gentiobiose based on its abbreviated name. Is it a reducing sugar? Does it undergo mutarotation?arrow_forward
- Draw the structure of malibiose a sugar found in plants and answer the following question: a) What two monosaccharides are formed on hydrolysis of melibiose? b) Is melibiose a reducing sugar? Explain. c) Describe the glycosidic linkage between the two mono- saccharide units.arrow_forwardWhat is the complete name of the following sugar? но он носн он Write out the words alpha and beta. This question is case-sensitive. Capitalize only the configuration designation, D or L, example: beta-D-glucopyranose.arrow_forwardUse the two Fischer projections shown below to draw the Haworth projection of these two sugars linked by an a(1-2) linkage, with the ß isoform of the ketohexose.
