Choose the correct answer from the options given below:              [2024]

1

A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I

 

2

A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

 

3

A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I

 

4

A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II

 


Ans.

(4)

    A. Epimers are diastereomers that differ in configuration at only one chiral centre. α-Glucose and α-Galactose are C-4 epimers.

   B. Anomers are epimers which differ in configuration at acetal or hemiacetal carbon. α-D-glucose and β-D-glucose are anomers.

   C. Glucose is an aldohexose and fructose is a ketohexose. These are thus functional isomers.

   D. Formula of glucose (C6H12O6) differs by — CH2 unit with the formula of ribose (C5H10O5). So, Homologns
