Detailed explanation-1: -Monosaccharides contain carbonyl group hence are classified as aldose or ketose . If the carbonyl group is an aldehyde attached to C1, the monosaccharide is an Aldose. If the carbonyl group is a ketone attached to C2, the monosaccharide is a Ketose. Fructose has 6 carbons in the straight chain.
Detailed explanation-2: -An aldose is a monosaccharide (a simple sugar) with a carbon backbone chain with a carbonyl group on the endmost carbon atom, making it an aldehyde, and hydroxyl groups connected to all the other carbon atoms.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ketoses. If a monosaccharide has a carbonyl function on one of the inner atoms of the carbon chain it is classified as a ketose.
Detailed explanation-4: -Monosaccharides contain carbonyl group hence are classified, as aldose or ketose. The number of carbon atoms present in the monosaccharide molecule is also considered for classification.
Detailed explanation-5: -Ketose. A monosaccharide with a carbonyl group at the C2. Also called ketones. Carbohydrate. Commonly referred to as sugars and starches; are polyhydroxy adlehydes and ketones, or compounds that can by hydrolyzed to them.
