Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

Part a)

Part b)

Step 1 : Introduction (Part a)

• Haworth projection is a typical approach of constructing a structural formula that uses a simple three-dimensional viewpoint to illustrate the cyclic structure of monosaccharides.

Step 2 : Structure of α D-Fructose

Step 3 : Structure of β D-Fructose
