Question

Open chain formula of glucose does

not contain

a. Formyl group

b. Anomeric hydroxyl group

c. Primary hydroxyl group

d. Secondary hydroxyl group​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Glucose is a simple sugar with the molecular formula C6H12O6. Glucose is the most abundant monosaccharide,[3] a subcategory of carbohydrates. Glucose is mainly made by plants and most algae during photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide, using energy from sunlight, where it is used to make cellulose in cell walls, which is the most abundant carbohydrate.[4] In energy metabolism, glucose is the most important source of energy in all organisms. Glucose for metabolism is partially stored as a polymer, in plants mainly as starch and amylopectin and in animals as glycogen. Glucose circulates in the blood of animals as blood sugar. The naturally occurring form of glucose is d-glucose, while l-glucose is produced synthetically in comparatively small amounts and is of lesser importance. Glucose is a monosaccharide containing six carbon atoms, an aldehyde group and is therefore referred to as an aldohexose. The glucose molecule can exist in an open-chain (acyclic) as well as ring (cyclic) form, the latter being the result of an intramolecular reaction between the aldehyde C atom and the C-5 hydroxyl group to form an intramolecular hemiacetal. In water solution both forms are in equilibrium and at pH 7 the cyclic one is the predominant. It is naturally occurring and is found in fruits and other parts of plants in its free state. In animals glucose arises from the breakdown of glycogen in a process known as glycogenolysis.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option a. Formyl group is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Glucose is a simple sugar with the molecular formula C6H12O6. Glucose is a highly concentrated monosaccharide, a subcategory of carbohydrates. Glucose is mainly produced by plants and algae during photosynthesis in water and carbon dioxide, using energy from the sun, which is used to make cellulose in cell walls, which is the most abundant carbohydrate.
