Answer=
Type of stereoisomers are found in proteins and sugars=
stereoisomers are isomeric molecules that have the same number molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms,but differ in the three dimensional orientations of their atoms in space.
Types- 1]Enantiomers-also known as optical isomers ,are two stereoisomers that are related to each other by a reflection:they are mirror images of each other.
example-D-glucose & L-glucose
2]Diastereomers= are stereoisomers not related through a reflection operation.They are not mirror images of each other.These include meso compounds ,cis-trans isomers& non enantiomeric optical isomers.
D-glucose & D-galactose
3]Cis-trans & E-Z isomerism-stereoisomerism about double bonds arises because rotation about the double bond is restricted ,keeping the substituents fixed relative to each other.
