Best Answer

Fischer projections and Haworth projections are used to show the structures of sugars. The Haworth looks a little 3D but the position of the substituents is directly above or below the ring. Hydrogen is omitted.

The Fischer looks a bit like a herring bone- which is how I remembered it- ( Fischer-herringbone ?) Best for linear monosaccharides. It shows hydrogens unlike Haworth. One convention is for D and L forms. Best to look at pictures. Wikipedia shows reasonable pictures but detail is good at vanderbilt link

What is the difference between a fish?

I will begin my answer with a long complicated formula explaining the differential meaning of the word fish, the formula is: (Fish)=n+(difference)-value=n+v=value of (Fish)-3+pn=(Fish)+(difference)+x=(Fish) This formula explains the difference between a fish in the easiest way. I hope I have answered your question.


How do you find out the formula for a Quadratic Sequence?

A quadratic sequence is when the difference between two terms changes each step. To find the formula for a quadratic sequence, one must first find the difference between the consecutive terms. Then a second difference must be found by finding the difference between the first consecutive differences.

Does gentiobiose undergo mutarotation?

Yes, since galactose is a monosaccharide it can undergo mutarotaion just like glucose. The only difference between glucose and galactose is the side the OH and H are on, on the carbon atom #4. When galactose becomes a in chain form, drawn in Fischer formula the OH will be on the left side instead of the right side. This is how you get Galactose α or β, at the end of the mutarotation the chain can link back into a ring either way, α with the carbon #1's OH on the bottom and H on top, or β with the OH on top and H on the bottom (Haworth formula).
