Step 1
Monosaccharides can be classified based on the number of carbon atoms they contain: trioses (3 carbons), tetroses (4 carbons), pentoses (5 carbons), hexoses (6 carbons), etc. They can also be classified based on the type of carbonyl group they contain: aldoses Show more…

Label each of the following monosaccharides as an aldose or ketose, and state the number of carbons in each. For example, mannose in problem 2 is a "aldohexose". How many stereoisomers are possible for each of the monosaccharides shown in question #4? Based on their molecular formulas, which of the following are NOT carbohydrates? Circle please. a. C3H6O3 b. C6H18O9 c. C5H32O16 d. C4H8O4 e. C16H32O2 f. C6H12O6
