Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 3 and 5 only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Statement 1 is correct: Glucose exists in two crystalline forms, \(\alpha\)-D-glucose and \(\beta\)-D-glucose, which differ in the configuration of the hydroxyl group at the C-1 carbon. Statement 2 is correct: \(\alpha\)-D-glucose and \(\beta\)-D-glucose are anomers because they…
