8. (a). In the box below draw out the structure of a-D-Glucopyranose-(1→2)-ß-D-Mannopyranose- (1-4)-a-D-Galactopyranose (all sugars in the C₁ conformation). (Note: Accuracy of ring structure and bond orientation is critical. If it is ambiguous it is not correct!). (5 marks) (b) In one sentence explain why this is or is not a reducing sugar, and whether it would undergo mutarotation or not.
