Best Answer

dextro rotetary means rotate the plane polirised towards right hand side while Levo rotatry means the substance has tendency to rotate plan polarised light towards left hand side.

What are racemic mixtures?

Mixtures containing equal amounts of levo- and dextro- forms of a compound and thus do not rotate the plane of polarized light passing through the mixture.


What is the L form of sugar?

Any sugar that man has discovered has two configurations(Enantiomers). One is called the "Dextro" (D) confermation which when checking its optical activity, rotates light clockwise. The other form is called "Levo" (L) which when checking its optical activity rotates the light anti-clockwise. This is so important in because mainly the enzymes in our body are Levo (Meaning that they only act on "Levo" substrates) so if you give the patient Dextro substrate it wont be hydrolyzed by the enzyme. NB:Enantiomers mean that the 2 compounds (Dextro and Levo compounds) are "mirror image" to each other.


What are three classification schemes used in Chemistry?

Acid and Base. Ionic and non-Ionic [neutral]. D(dextro)-rotary and L(levo)-rotary.


Will urine drug screen detect adderall?

Yes, Adderall is a combination of Levo amphetamine, and dextro amphetamine, and will test positive for amphetamines.


What are levo sugars?

Depending upon how the sugar molecule is organized, it can be what is called, left or right handed. They will have exactly the same elements in exactly the same ratios, but be oriented differently. A levo or L-sugar is a left-handed version of the molecule. A Dextro or D-sugar is the right-handed version; Levo, from the Latin for Left and Dextro, from the Latin for Right. The best way to think about this is to think of left and right handed scissors. If left and right examples of the same molecule exist it is called chiral. A baseball bat is not chiral, while golf clubs can be left- and right-handed.


What is Adderall made of?

Adderall XR is made up of four different amphetamine salts * 1/4 dextroamphetamine saccharate * 1/4 dextroamphetamine sulfate * 1/4 (racemic dextro/levo-amphetamine) aspartate monohydrate * 1/4 (racemic dextro/levo-amphetamine) sulfate The delivery system is called Microtrol which uses pellets, half of which dissolve immediately while the other half dissolve four hours later.


What does the L stands for in L-Alanine?

The "l" should be lower case and in italic, and it can be spelled in full as "levo-". It describes the "handedness" of the amino acid molecule. The prefix "levo-" defines one orientation and "dextro-" the other possible orientation; as "l-Alanine" and "d-Alanine"; or, "dl-Alanine" for the racemic mixture of the two configurations of Alanine.


How do you the word Dextro in a sentence?

Dextro is a pseudonym.


When was Dextro created?

Dextro was created in 2001.


What does the L stand for in L-Carnitine?

It stands for levo to indicate that the molecule has a "left-handed" configuration. A D stands for "dextro" to indicate a "right handed" configuration. This can make a difference, since left and right handed configurations (enantiomers) of the same molecule can behave very differently.


What does the L stand for in L-carnitine-tartrate?

It stands for levo to indicate that the molecule has a "left-handed" configuration. A D stands for "dextro" to indicate a "right handed" configuration. This can make a difference, since left and right handed configurations (enantiomers) of the same molecule can behave very differently.
