Match List I with List II
| LIST I | LIST II | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| A. | $\alpha$ - Glucose and $\alpha$ - Galactose | I. | Functional isomers |
| B. | $ \alpha \text { - Glucose and } \beta \text { - Glucose } $ |
II. | Homologous |
| C. | $ \alpha \text { - Glucose and } \alpha \text { - Fructose } $ |
III. | Anomers |
| D. | $ \alpha \text { - Glucose and } \alpha \text { - Ribose } $ |
IV. | Epimers |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
<p>$\alpha$-Glucose and $\alpha$-Galactose differ in configuration of one asymmetric carbon. Thus they are epimers.</p>
<p>$\alpha$ and $\beta$-glucose differ at anomeric carbon. Thus they are anomers.</p>
<p>$\alpha$-Glucose and $\alpha$-Fructose have different functional groups. Thus they are functional isomers.</p>
