Question

dfructose is an example of adlotetrose?

Answer 1

A monosaccharide with an aldehyde group is referred to as an aldose. A 3 carbon sugar is a triose, a 4 carbon sugar is a tetrose, and so on. Combining these designates such sugars as an aldotetrose or a ketopentose. For example, an aldotetrose is a four-carbon sugar that contains an aldehyde functional group.
