To answer the question regarding the differences in configuration at specific carbons in carbohydrate molecules, we need to define two important terms: anomers and epimers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Anomers**: - Anomers are a type of stereoisomer that differ in configuration at the anomeric carbon, which is the carbon atom that was the carbonyl carbon (C=O) in the open-chain form of the sugar. When the sugar cyclizes, this carbon becomes a new chiral center. - For example, in glucose, the anomeric carbon is carbon 1 (C1). The two forms of glucose, α-D-glucose and β-D-glucose, differ in the configuration at this carbon. ...
