Question

Open chain formula of glucose does not contain....?​

Answer 1

Anomeric hydroxyl group

Explanation:

Anomers are cyclic monosaccharides or glycosides that differ in their C-1 configuration if aldoses, or their C-2 configuration if ketoses. The epimeric carbon in anomers is referred to as anomeric carbon or anomeric centre. When the chain becomes a ring, C-1 becomes a chiral centre. C-1 is the anomeric carbon. Two distinct forms can result depending on the direction of C1 when the C5 hydroxyl links to it. Except for the arrangement around C1, these two variants are identical.  These two types are known as anomers, with C1 being the anomeric carbon.

Answer 2

The answer to the above question is as follow:

Open chain formula of glucose does not contain Anomeric Hydroxyl Group.

• Two distinct forms can result depending on the direction of C1 when the C5 hydroxyl links to it. Except for the arrangement around C1, these two variants are identical. These two types are known as anomers, with C1 being the anomeric carbon. C1 is considered to be the anomer if the hydroxyl group on C1 and the -CH2OH group on C5 are on opposite sides of the six-membered ring. C1 is said to be the anomer if they are on the same side.

• Glucose is an aldohexose because it is a monosaccharide with six carbon atoms and an aldehyde group. The glucose molecule can be found in two forms: open-chain (acyclic) and ring (cyclic). Glucose is a naturally occurring sugar that can be found in fruits and other plant parts in its free form. Glycogenolysis is a process in which glucose is produced from the breakdown of glycogen in animals.
