Why are(±)-glucose and (-)-glucose both classified as D sugar

See explanation

Explanation:

We must remember that the D / L nomenclature refers to the orientation of the hydroxyl group on carbon 5. If the "OH" is on the right we will have a D configuration. Yes, the "OH" is on the left we will have an L configuration. (See figure 1)

Now, the orientation of this "OH" has nothing to do with the ability of the molecule to deflect polarized light. If the molecule deflects light to the left we will have the symbol "(-)" (levorotation) if the molecule deflects light to the right we will have the symbol "(+)" (dextrorotation).

So in the "D" configuration, we can have both a right (+) and a left (-) deviation.

I hope it helps!

explanation:

contour lines on a map indicate elevation, or depth. numeric notations on contour lines refer to the level of elevation, or height about sea level.
