Question

D-Fructose is the sweetest monosaccharide. How does the Fischer projection of D-fructose differ from that of D-glucose?

Answer 1

Answer:

The projection of the Fisher projection of D-Fructose and D-glucose is that  The carbonyl carbon in D-glucose is carbon 1 (aldehyde), whereas in D-fructose, the carbonyl group is on carbon 2 (ketone).

Explanation:

An aldehyde is a compound containing a functional group with the structure −CHO, consisting of a carbonyl center and

A ketone is a functional group with the structure RC(=O)R', where R and R' can be a variety of carbon-containing substituents.
