To solve the question, we need to identify the configurations of naturally occurring sugars and amino acids. 1. **Identify the configuration of naturally occurring sugars:** - Most naturally occurring sugars are classified as D-configuration. This is based on the orientation of the hydroxyl (-OH) group on the penultimate carbon (the second to last carbon) in the sugar molecule. In D-sugars, the hydroxyl group on this carbon is on the right side when the molecule is drawn in a Fischer projection. 2. **Identify the configuration of naturally occurring amino acids:** - Most naturally occurring amino acids have an L-configuration. This refers to the orientation of the amino group (-NH2) in relation to the carboxyl group (-COOH) in the amino acid structure. In L-amino acids, the amino group is on the left side in a Fischer projection. ...
