What are the differences between aldoses and ketoses?
Aldoses vs. Ketoses
Monosaccharides are classified by where their carbonyl group sits:
Aldose — aldehyde (carbonyl) at the end of the chain (C1)
Ketose—ketone (carbonyl) in the middle of the chain (C2)
e.g. Glucose = aldose; Fructose = ketose (structural isomer of glucose)—aldehyde
