Answer:

a)The conformations of the same molecule rapidly interconvert whereas the configurations of the same molecule do not readily interconvert. Both terms conformation and configuration describes the spatial arrangement of a particular molecule.

b)Non-reducing sugars do not have an OH group attached to the anomeric carbon so they cannot reduce other compounds. All monosaccharides such as glucose are reducing sugars. Maltose and lactose are reducing sugars, while sucrose is a non-reducing sugar.

c)Geometric isomers have the same structural formulas but differ in thearrangement of groups at a single atom, at double bonds, or in rings. ... One of the optical isomers rotates the light in one direction, the other rotates the light in the opposite direction but by the same amount.

d)Anomers and epimers are both diastereomers, but an epimer is a stereoisomer that differs in configuration at any single stereogenic center, while an anomer is actually anepimer that differs in configuration at the acetal/hemiacetal carbon.
