Question
The letter ‘$D$’ in carbohydrates represents
✓
Answer
d
$D$ indicate the configuration of carbohydrate. it represents the position of second last - $OH$ group in any carbohydrates. If - $OH$ is present on right side then it is called $D$ type configuration and if it is present on left side then it is called $L$ type configuration.
