Biochemistry Chapter 6: Carbohydrate Structure Flashcards
1
Q
Anomeric carbon glucose
A
C1 (where the carbonyl group is)
2
Q
Anomeric carbon fructose
A
C2 (where the carbonyl group is)
3
Q
Enantiomers
A
are mirror images, different in orientation at every chiral carbon, which these two figures are not.
4
Q
diastereomers
A
They are molecules that have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms (constitution) but differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms in a way that they are not mirror images of each other.
