Chapter 24, Problem 24.20P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The Fischer projection for the structure of galacturonic acid is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Carbohydrates are a class of organic compounds. They can be present in the form of open chains or rings they are usually an aldehyde or ketone with additional hydroxyl groups. They have the general molecular formula, (CH2O)n.

The six-membered ring form of carbohydrates is termed as pyranose. The five-membered ring form of carbohydrates is termed as furanose.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The Fischer projection for the structure of ribitol is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Carbohydrates are a class of organic compounds. They can be present in the form of open chains or rings.

They are usually an aldehyde or ketone with additional hydroxyl groups. They have the general molecular formula, (CH2O)n.

The six membered ring form of carbohydrates is termed as pyranose. This ring contains 5 carbon atoms and 1 an oxygen atom.

A triglyceride can be optically active if it contains two or more different fatty acids.(a) Draw the structure of an optically active triglyceride containing one equivalent of myristic acid and two equivalentsof oleic acid
Monosaccharides can be categorized in terms of thenumber of carbon atoms (pentoses have five carbons andhexoses have six carbons) and according to whether theycontain an aldehyde (aldo- prefix, as in aldopentose) orketone group (keto- prefix, as in ketopentose). Classify glucoseand fructose in this way.
