Answer:
Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes, ketones, and their derivatives, composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in the ratio C n (H2O) n.
reducing sugar
All monosaccharides are reducing sugars because all monosaccharides have an aldehyde group (if they are aldoses) or can tautomerize in solution to form an aldehyde group (if they are ketoses). This includes common monosaccharides like galactose, glucose, glyceraldehyde, fructose, ribose, and xylose.
