Question

Consider the Haworth Projection of sugar "X" shown to the right and the structures below as answers to the following 2 questions. Which of the structures is the anomer of "X"? A. B. C. D. E. Which of the structures is the epimer of "X"? A. B. C. D. E. Which of the following polysaccharides is a linear polymer of D-glucose in beta(1-4) linkages? a. amylose b. cellulose c. glycogen d. chitin e. amylopectin. Glycogen is called "animal starch" because it is the carbohydrate storage molecule in the liver and skeletal muscle. This structure of Glycogen is very similar to amylopectin, a component of plant starch. This implies that "Glycogen" is a. a linear homopolysaccharide of D-Glucose in alpha (1-4) linkages. b. a branched homopolysaccharide of D-Glucose in beta(1-4) glycoside linkages with beta (1-b) branch points. c. a heteropolysaccharide with D-Glucose linked to D-galactose in beta (1-4) linkages. d. a branched homopolysaccharide of D-Glucose in alpha (1-4) glycoside linkages with alpha (1-6) branch points. e. a branched homopolysaccharide of D-Glucose in a (1-4) glycoside linkages with beta (1-6) branch points. Which of the following corresponds to the structure of alpha-lactose.
