A Fischer projection of a monosaccharide is shown below: a. Classify this monosaccharide (e.g., aldotriose) b. Does it have the D or L configuration? c. Which carbon and oxygen become bonded in the furanose ring form of this monosaccharide (e.g., C2O6, where O6 means the oxygen on carbon 6, or "not formed")? d. Which carbon and oxygen become bonded in the pyranose ring form of this monosaccharide e.g., C2O6 or "not formed"?
Expert Answer
The structure of the given monosaccharide is:The monosaccharide contains four carbon atoms with one aldehyde group. That's why it is aldotetrose.
