Pregunta 5
Pregunta
A 2 year child is diagnosed with fructosuria and the physician recommends the child avoid consuming sucrose. Why is sucrose considered a non-reducing sugar?
Respuesta
Because carbon-1 of glucose and the carbon-2 of mannose are involved in the glycosidic linkage.
Sucrose cannot engage in mutarotation.
Sucrose does not have an available carbon-4.
The aldehyde of glucose and the aldehyde of fructose are not free.
Because sucrose cannot reduce copper from Cu3+ to Cu2+.

Respuesta
We can't digest β(1,4) glucose linkages of starch.
We can't digest β(1,4) fructose linkages of cellulose.
We can't digest α(1,4) glucose linkages of cellulose.
We can't digest β(1,4) glucose linkages of cellulose.
We can't digest β(1,4) glucose linkages of lactose.
