Pick out the incorrect statement(s) from the following.
1. Glucose exists in two different crystalline forms, \(\alpha\)-D-glucose and \(\beta\)-D-glucose.
2. \(\alpha\)-D-glucose and \(\beta\)-D-glucose are anomers.
3. \(\alpha\)-D-glucose and \(\beta\)-D-glucose are enantiomers.
4. Cellulose is a straight chain polysaccharide made of only \(\beta\)-D-glucose units.
5. Starch is a mixture of amylase and amylopectin, both contain unbranched chain of \(\alpha\)-D-glucose units.
- A 1 and 2 only
- B 2 and 3 only
- C 3 and 4 only
- D 3 and 5 only
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 3 and 5 only
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\alpha\)-D-glucose and \(\beta\)-glucose, differ in the orientation of \(-\mathrm{H}\) and \(-\mathrm{OH}\) groups are first carbon atom. Such isomers are called anomers. Starch is a mixture of amylase and amylopectin but amylase is a straight chain polymer while amylopectin…
