Name the model that depicts cyclized monosaccharides as lying in a horizontal plane with the hydroxyl groups pointing down or up from the plane.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Haworth model depicts cyclized monosaccharides as lying in a horizontal plane with the hydroxyl groups pointing down or up from the plane. The Fischer projection is a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional molecule where the carbon chain is depicted vertically with the substituents projecting out to the sides. Cyclized Fischer projection is a modified Fischer projection used to show the cyclization of monosaccharides. Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and connectivity but differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms.
