The given structures (I) and (II) represent configuration of the simplest sugar glyceraldehyde . Which of the following statements is not correct for the structures ?
`underset((I))(H-underset(CH_(2)OH)underset(|)overset(CHO)overset(|)C-OH) " " underset((II)) (HO-underset(CH_(2)OH)underset(|)overset(CHO)overset(|)C-H)`

A

(I) represents D-form while (II) represents L-form of glyceraldehyde .

B

The sugars having same configuration as D-glyceraldehyde are designated as D-sugars.

C

Natural glucose and fructose are D-Sugars.

D

D is dextrorotatory while L is laevorotatory enantiomer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
D-represents -OH group on the right side of lowest asymmetric C-atom while L represents -OH group on the left.
