Find true and False from the following statements regarding carbohydrates S_(1) : All monosaccharides whether aldoses or ketoses are reducing sugars S_(2) : Bromine water can be used to differentiate between aldoses and ketones S_(3) : A pair of diasteromeric aldoses which differ only in configuration at C-2 are anomers. S_(4) : Osazone formation destroys the configuration of C-2 of an aldose, but does not affect the configuration of the rest of the molecule.

Aldehydes and ketones are converted to acetals by treatment with an alcohol and a trace of acid catalyst. These conditions also convert aldoses and ketoses to the acetals, call glycosides. In glycosides, an aglycone is the group bonded to the anomeric carbon atom. Example : Methanol is the aglycone in a methyl glycoside. A is
