Carbohydrate Chemistry Quiz

Classification of monosaccharides.

Reducing disaccharides.

Nonreducing disaccharide.

Why sucrose is a nonreducing sugar?

Glucose and galactose are:

• Anomers

• Constituents of sucrose

• Diasterioisomers

• Epimers

D-mannose is:

• The 4th epimer of glucose

• A keto sugar

• Is a component of maltose

• Is the 2nd epimer of glucose

A pair of sugars differing from each other in the functional group is called:

• Anomers

• Epimers

• Isomers

• Stereoisomers

Reducing sugars are differentiated from nonreducing sugars by:

• Iodine test

• Molisch's test

• Seliwanoff's test

• Benedict's test

In the case of monosaccharides, all properties go hand in hand, except:

• Reducing property

• Formation of furfural

• Formation of osazone

• Mutarotation

All the following are sugar alcohols, except:

• Dulcitol

• Mannitol

• Xylulose

• Sorbitol
