Difference between D L Sugars?

D and L are optical isomer of each other, or non superimposible mirror images. The convention uses Glyceraldhyde as the reference. In a fisher projection the OH of glyceraldehyde is on the right side ( more improtantly in the R configuration)in the D isomer and on the left side ( or the molecule is in the L configuration) in the L isomer. So for all other sugars it looks at the last chiral center for the molecule if the chiral center is R it is a D isomer if the last chiral center is in the S configuration it is an L isomer.


Why do only D carbohydrates are mainly found in the body?

Carbohydrates relates to sugars in the body and when the D configuration is placed in front of it, it refers to a monosaccharide carbohydrate.


What is the difference between the D-form and the L-form of a compound?

The stereochemistry. Specifically, for carbohydrates, the configuration at the last (highest numbered) stereocenter determines whether it's D or L form. D means it has the same configuration as (+)-glyceraldehyde; L means it has the same configuration as (-)-glyceraldehyde. Note that D and L (capital letters) are not at all the same as d and l (lower letters). The capital letters relate the configuration to glyceraldehyde, the lower case letters specify whether the substance is dextrorotatory or levorotatory. For glyceraldehyde, D is d (+) and L is l (-), but this is not always the case for other molecules.

Are D-glucose and D- mannose enantiomers?

No. Epimers are sugars that differ in the configuration around one carbon atom. D-Mannose and D-Galactose differ in two carbons (C-2 and C-4). yes. D-glucose and D-mannose are epimers (difference at C-2), D-glucose and D-galactose are epimers (difference at C-4), but D-mannose and D-galactose are not epimer(difference at C-2 and C-4).


Summarize the differences between simple sugars double sugars and complex sugars?

simple sugars are the sugars that are bad for the body and then the double are the sugars that are twice as bad and takes out more energy during the breakdown of the body . complex sugars are pretty self explanatory . :D Also, simple sugars are sugars that the body can use directly, while complex sugars take along time to be broken down.
