Concept introduction:
Fischer structure is the representation of the three-dimensional molecules in the two-dimension. The structure consists of horizontal and vertical lines. The groups or atoms lying on the horizontal line are towards observer and on the vertical line are away from observer.

Which statement about saccharides is correct?
(A). Alpha anomers are more common than beta anoomers.
(B). Two monosaccharides can form a disaccharide and oxygen.
(C). Polysaccharides with alpha or beta glycosidic linkages have the different properties.
(D). Disaccharides can be cyclic or acyclic.
Consider N-acetyl-d-glucosamine
Q.) Draw a chair conformation for the disaccharide formed by joining two units of the pyranose form of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine by a b-1,4-glycosidic bond. If you draw this correctly, you have the structural formula for the repeating dimer of chitin, the structural polysaccharide component of the shell of lobsters and other crustaceans.
The tea leaves that contain the caffeine to be isolated are predominantly
composed of cellulose, a natural and extremely abundant polymer of glucose.
Look up the chair structure of B-D-glucose (B-D-glucopyranose, the monomer
from which the cellulose polymer is composed). Draw this structure, draw the
flipped chair, and indicate which conformer you think is more stable, if either.
BRIEFLY explain your choice.
