Concept Introduction:

Simplest carbohydrates are known as monosaccharides.  They contain three to six carbons generally in a chain form with a carbonyl group present in the terminal or the adjacent carbon atom from the terminal.  Monosaccharides that have the carbonyl group at the terminal carbon atom C1 are known as aldoses and the monosaccharides that have the carbonyl group on the adjacent carbon atom C2 are known as ketoses.

The number of carbon atoms present in the chain characterize the monosaccharide.  They are given below.

  • Carbon chain with three carbon atoms is triose.
  • Carbon chain with four carbon atoms is tetrose.
  • Carbon chain with five carbon atoms is as pentose.
  • Carbon chain with six carbon atoms is as hexose.

b.
