Answer #1

Ans

  • Glyceraldehyde vs. Dihyroxyacetone =   aldose vs. ketose
  • Alpha-D-glucose vs. Beta-D-glucose= Anomers
  • L-Glucose vs. D-Glucose= Enantiomers
  • Galactose vs. Lactose= monosaccharide vs disaccharide
  • Glucose vs. Mannose= Epimer
  • Glucose vs. Galactose= Epimer
  • Glucose vs. Fructose= aldose vs ketose

Epimer- They are diastereomers that contain more than one chiral carbon but differ to each other at only one chiral carbon position

Anomer- Cyclic monosaccharide that are epimer and differ from each other C1 carbon in aldose and C2 carbon in ketose.

Enatiomer= The chiral molecule that are mirror images of each other
