Glucose derivatives can produce a number of different molecules, including sugar acids. Below are three sugar acids. (1) Indicate which carbon has been oxidized in glucose to produce the sugar acid and (2) match the function of the sugar acid by selecting the letter associated with a description. This will require you to investigate functions!
a. This sugar acid is used as a substrate in glucuronosylation reactions to modify other insoluble molecules, forming glucuronides that are water so
