Answer:
Explain the existence of anomers in sugars taking D-glucose as an illustrative case. Anomers are cyclic monosaccharides that are different in the configuration at the anomeric carbon. Anomers of cyclic D-glucose contain OH group at different sides of the glucopyranose ring.

Anomers are a type of epimers which show different configuration at anomeric carbon.
Explanation:
- When a sugar molecule, for example, D-glucose converts into cyclic form a new chiral center is generated at C-1. This carbon which generates a chiral center is called anomeric carbon.
- So at anomeric carbon, the configuration of the OH atom can be different forming different forms which are called anomers.
- So in the case of D glucose, α-D-glucose and β-D-glucose are two kinds of anomers. In α-D-glucose, the anomeric OH in the opposite site of the ring and α-D-glucose the anomeric OH is on the same side.
