Structures of 3 Monosaccharides are given below. Two of them are Anomers. Identify the two Anomers.

- A II is the anomer of both I and II
- B II and III are Anomers.
- C I and II are Anomers.
- D I and III are Anomers
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) I and III are Anomers
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Anomers are a specific type of epimers that differ in configuration only at the anomeric carbon (the hemiacetal or hemiketal carbon). In the given Fischer projections of cyclic monosaccharides, the anomeric carbon is the one attached to the ring oxygen and the hydroxyl group. By…
