Summary Introduction

To analyze:

Kinds of aldose and ketose sugars.

Introduction:

Aldose and ketose are simple carbohydrates molecules, made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen molecules. Both aldose and ketose are monosaccharides. Aldose sugar shows an aldehyde group in its carbon chain, while ketose sugar shows a carbonyl group in its side chain. .

Explanation of Solution

Carbohydrates are one of the most important biomolecules, present in the living organisms. Main constituents of carbohydrates are oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon. Hence, carbohydrates are also known as hydrates of carbon. Aldose and ketose show the simple class of carbohydrates, known as monosaccharides (made up of one monomer).

Aldose sugars show a class of sugars, which have a functional aldehyde group (-CHO) in their structures. Glucose and galactose are examples of aldose sugars. Ketose sugars are simple sugar molecules, having a functional ketone or carbonyl group (-CO) in their structures. Fructose and ribulose are examples of ketose sugars.

Conclusion

Thus, it can be concluded that the aldose sugars have aldehyde groups, while ketose sugars have carbonyl groups as their functional groups.

Preoperative Diagnosis: Torn medial meniscus, left knee Postoperative Diagnosis: Combination horizontal cleavage tear/flap tear, posterior horn, medial meniscus, left knee. Operation: Arthroscopic subtotal medial meniscectomy, left knee Anesthetic: General endotracheal Description of Procedure: The patient was placed on the operating table in the supine position and general endotracheal anesthesia was administered. After an adequate level of anesthesia was achieved, the patient's left lower extremity was prepped with Betadine scrubbing solution, then draped in a sterile manner. Several sites were then infiltrated with 1% Xylocaine solution with Epinephrine to help control bleeding from stab wounds to be made at these sites. These stab wounds were made anterolaterally at the level of the superior pole of the patella for insertion of an irrigation catheter into the suprapatellar pouch area, anterolaterally at the level of the joint line for insertion of the scope and anteromedially at…
