To answer the question, we need to identify the types of carbohydrates based on the functional groups they contain. 1. **Identify Carbohydrates with Aldehyde Group:** - Carbohydrates that contain an aldehydic group (-CHO) are referred to as **aldoses**. This is because the presence of the aldehyde group characterizes this type of sugar. 2. **Identify Carbohydrates with Keto Group:** - On the other hand, carbohydrates that contain a keto group (C=O) at any other chiral carbon are called **ketoses**. The keto group can be found on a carbon that is not the terminal carbon, distinguishing it from aldoses. ...
