Question

Explain the determination of ring size of glucose and fructose in detail.

Answer 1

Glucose and fructose are monosaccharide carbohydrates and they both have six carbon ring i.e. they are hexose sugars. Glucose is an aldohexose having aldehyde functional group in its structure and fructose is ketohexose sugar having ketonic functional group in its structure. Glucose make a six sided pyaranose ring and fructose make a five sided furan ring. Anomeric carbon in glucose is first while in fructose it is second carbon.

Answer 2

Determination of ring size of glucose and fructose:

• Sugars and fructose are made of a five-atom ring each and glucose makes a six-atom oriented ring.
• Glucose is comprised the sugar the body needs and utilize to produce energy while fructose is only processed by the life and recommended to be taken in moderate quantity.
• Plain sugars belong to the carbohydrate group.
• Glucose and fructose belong to monosaccharides and sucrose is a disaccharide had two combined with a bond.
• Glucose and fructose have the similar molecular formula $(C_{6}H_{12}O_{6})$ but glucose has 6 member rings and fructose has various with a five-layered ring pattern.
