Question

match the words in the column with the appropriate blank in the sentences

Triose, Aldose, Ketopentose, Glucose, Ketose, Aldohexose

1) if a carbohydrate, like xylulose, has five carbon atoms and a carbonyl group on the second carbon, it is called a(n) _________
2) any carbohydrate with the carbonyl group on the second chain is a(n) __________
3) glyceraldehyde is an example of a(n) _________, because it has 3 carbon atoms
4) a monosaccharide is a(n) __________ if the carbonyl group is on the end of the carbon chain
5) with the carbonyl group on the end of a six carbon chain, the carbohydrates would be classified as a(n) __________
6) the most common carbohydrate, ________, has 6 carbon atoms

Explanation / Answer

1) Since the doubled bonded Oxygen is present in the second position and it contains five carbon atom, hence it will have pent as a prefix

So it will be known as ketopentose

2) Since the doubled bonded Oxygen is present in the second position, it will be a ketose

3) Glyceraldehyde is a triose since it contains three carbon atoms

4) If it is present on the last carbon atom, then it will be a aldehyde

Hence the correct answer is Aldose

5) Aldohexose (aldo for being an aldehyde and hexose represents 6 carbon atoms)

6) Glucose
