i think yes..coz anomers are due to diff in orientation of OH of anomeric C...so they will be non superimposible mirror images...hence they are ENANTIOMERS

no..anomers need not be non super imposible MIRROR images..atleast not in the case of glucose .. they just change the configuration at Carbon 1

what i think is that in an anomer only the postion around 1 carbon is changing while the spatial arrangements around others remains same hence they will surely be nonsuperimposable but as they r not mirror images they will not be enatiomers
 
correct me if i am wrong!!!!!!!11

i don't think so coz in glucose both anomeric forms are dextrorotatotory
whereas enantiomers rotate in opposite directions

yeah ....i was wrong ....not enantiomer since glucose is DEXTROROTATORY...damn...
