What is an epimer?

Answer 7

A diastereomer in which only differs on one -OH

Question 8

alpha-anomer vs beta-anomer

Answer 8

alpha: OH is trans (down)

Question 9

What is the glycosidic bond?

Answer 9

The bond of the two carbons that connects two monosaccharides together to form a disaccharide

Question 10

Difference between lactose and sucrose?

Answer 10

lactose is a reducing sugar due to “free anomeric carbon. Sucrose has no free anomeric carbon, so it is not a reducing sugar
