To review:
The class of each of the given sugars.
Introduction:
Carbohydrates are the most abundant
Explanation of Solution
The simplest carbohydrate, monosaccharide can either be aldoses or ketoses based on its functional group. When the functional group is an aldehyde, it is called an aldose. It is a ketose when the functional group is a ketone. The class, to which the given molecules belong, is described below:
The above figure (a) is the structure of the monosaccharide
The figure number (b) shows the structure of
The above diagram (c) depicts the structure of
Thus, it can be concluded that the figure (a)depicts
