The given structures (I) and (II) represent configuration of the simplest sugar glyceraldehyde. Which of the following statements is not correct for the structures?
\[\begin{array}{l} \text { (I) }\\ \text { (II) } \end{array}\]
\[\begin{array}{l} \text { (I) }\\ \text { (II) } \end{array}\]
- (I) represents D-form while (II) represents L-form of glyceraldehyde.
- The sugars having same configuration as D-glyceraldehyde are designated as D-sugars.
- Natural glucose and fructose are D-forms.
- D is dextrorotatory while L is laevorotatory enantiomer.
Answer
(D) D is dextrorotatory while L is laevorotatory enantiomer.
