The term anomers of glucose refers to:

  1. A
    isomers of glucose that differ in configurations at carbons one and four (C-1 and C-4)
  2. B
    a mixture of (D)-glucose and (L)-glucose
  3. C
    enantiomers of glucose
  4. D
    isomers of glucose that differ in configuration at carbon one (C-1)

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Anomers are cyclic monosaccharides that differ in configuration only at the hemiacetal or hemiketal carbon, also known as the anomeric carbon.In the case of glucose, this is Carbon-1 (C-1). The two anomers of glucose are and .
