aldose: Any of a class of monosaccharide sugars containing an aldehyde group.
Look up the molecular structure or galactose and you will see it has an aldehyde group (COH on the end of the molecule)
It is an aldose.

∙ 9y agoLactose is an aldose. It is a combination of galactose and glucose. Both of them are monosaccharide sugars, and each one contains an aldehyde group in every molecule.

Is maltose a pentose?
No, fructose is a hexose sugar, it is made up of 6 carbons.
What is another name for pentose pathway?
pentose phosphate pathway (also called phosphogluconate pathway, or hexose monophosphate shunt [HMP shunt])
What is the difference between a hexose and a pentose?
The primary difference between a pentose and a hexose is the obvious difference in the carbon content of each. A hexose, by definition, contains five carbons in its central ring, a hexose contains six. Examples of a hexose is the energy molecule glucose while an example of a pentose is ribose, a structural sugar that helps make up DNA.
What is an aldohexose?
An aldose sugar is a monosaccharide (a simple sugar) containing one aldehyde group per molecule and having a chemical formula of the form Cn(H2O)n(n>=3).
What is a pentose?
Pentose is a five carbon sugar. They make up the sugars that form DNA and RNA.
Is maltose a pentose?
No, fructose is a hexose sugar, it is made up of 6 carbons.
Is glucose an aldose ketose or pentose?
hexose, it is a 6 carbon sugar.

What is chemical formula for a hexose?
Pentose is a monosaccharide with five carbon atoms
Is chitin inorganic?
No, chitin is an organic molecule. Since it is a polysaccharide, it is made of pentose/hexose rings, and those are organic molecules.
What is the role of hexose monophosphate shunt?
to produced reducing equivalents NADPH + H+ for Lipid synthesis To generate pentose sugars for nucleotide synthesis
What two monosaccharides have five carbons?
i think they r glucose, fructose, and galactose
What is an aldohexose?
An aldose sugar is a monosaccharide (a simple sugar) containing one aldehyde group per molecule and having a chemical formula of the form Cn(H2O)n(n>=3).
Is glucose an hexose?
Hexose sugar are monosaccharides containing six carbon back bone in it.
What is the pentose of the sugar in rna?
DNA contains the pentose sugar deoxyribose where as RNA contains the pentose sugar ribose.
What is carbon sugar called?
hexose
