The two forms of `D-glucopyranose obtained from solution of D-glucose are known as:

A

isomers

B

anomers

C

epimers

D

enantiomers

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The two isomeric forms (`alpha`- and  `beta`-) of D-glucopyranose differ in their configuration only at C-1 so they ar called anomers.
