Identify the correct statement about glucose from following.
- A It is aldohexose.
- B It is nonreducing sugar.
- C It contains three chiral carbon atoms.
- D Its ring structure is hemiketal.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) It is aldohexose.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Explanation:
- Glucose is an aldohexose, meaning it is a six-carbon sugar with an aldehyde group.
- It is a reducing sugar, not nonreducing (since it can reduce other substances).
- It contains four chiral carbon atoms, not three.
- The ring structure of glucose is a hemiactal, not a hemiketal, because it forms from an aldehyde group, not a ketone.
