Question

Find true and False from the following statements regarding carbohydrates

S1 :All monosaccharides whether aldoses or ketoses are reducing sugars.

S2 :Bromine water can be used to differentiate between aldoses and ketoses

S3 :A pair of diastereomeric aldoses which differ only in configuration at C-2 are anomers.

S4 :Osazone formation destroys the configuration at C-2 of an aldose, but does not affect the configuration of the rest of the molecule.

• A. TTTT
• B. TFTF
• C. TTFT
• D. FTTT

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

TTFT

Answer 2

S1 S2 and S4 are correct. S3 is incorrect because

anomers are those which have difference in configuration at C–1
