Monosaccharides can undergo reactions to form other functional groups. Identify the monosaccharide derivative that fits each statement. One choice will be used more than once, and one choice will not be used at all. forms when carbon 6 of a hexose is oxidized to a carboxylic acid. forms when carbon 1 of a hexose is oxidized to a carboxylic acid. Muramic acid is. Gluconic acid is. Fucose is

Answer: Uronic acid forms when carbon-6 of a hexose is oxidized to a carboxylic acid.

Aldonic acid forms when carbon-1 of a hexose is oxidized to a carboxylic acid.

Muramic acid is an amino sugar.

Gluconic acid is an aldonic acid.

Fucose is a deoxy sugar.

Note: The complete question is as follows: Monosaccharides can undergo reactions to form other functional groups. Identify the monosaccharide derivative that fits the following statements (aldonic acid, deoxy sugar, uronic acid, amino sugar or aldaric acid).

Explanation:

Monosaccharides (sugars) can undergo reactions to form other functional groups. These sugar derivatives are formed either when a hydroxyl group of the monosaccharide is replaced with another substituent, or a carbon atom is oxidized to a carboxylic acid.

Muramic acid is formed when the hydroxyl group at C-2 of the sugar is replaced with an amino group. Lactic acid is ether-linked to the oxygen at C-3 of the same sugar molecule.

Gluconic acid or gluconate is formed when the carbonyl carbon, C-1 of glucose (a hexose) is oxidized to a carboxylic acid. Generally, they are called aldonic acids. Oxidation of the terminal carbon, C-6 of the hexoses, glucose, galactose or mannose forms uronic acids.

Fucose is formed when there is a substitution of a hydrogen for the hydroxy group at C-6 of L-galactose. It is a deoxy sugar.

An aldaric acid is an aldose in which both the hydroxyl group of the terminal carbon and the carbonyl carbon, C-1 have been fully oxidized to carboxylic acid functions.
