Question

Pick up the correct statements from the following. (A) Glucose exists in two different crystalline forms, α-D-glucose and β-D-glucose (B) α-D-glucose and β-D-glucose are enantiomers (C) Cellulose is a straight chain polysaccharide made up of only β-glucose units (D) Cyclic structure of α-D-glucose and β-D-glucose is called pyranose structure

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Statements (a), (c) and (d) are correct. Statement (b) is incorrect because α-D-glucose and β-D-glucose are anomers not the enantiomers.

Q. Pick up the correct statements from the following.

Glucose exists in two different crystalline forms, $α$ -D-glucose and $β$ -D-glucose

$α$ -D-glucose and $β$ -D-glucose are enantiomers

Cellulose is a straight chain polysaccharide made up of only $β$ -glucose units

Cyclic structure of $α$ -D-glucose and $β$ -D-glucose is called pyranose structure

Statements (a), (c) and (d) are correct. Statement (b) is incorrect because $α$ -D-glucose and $β$ -D-glucose are anomers not the enantiomers.
