How many possible isomers of glucose exist and what are some examples?

Your question is not specific enough - what do you mean by isomer? If you mean stereoisomers (likely question with biomolecules) the two most common stereoisomers of glucose are L-glucose and D-glucose. There are 4 chiral carbons in glucose so there would be 42 or 16 possible stereoisomers. The other most important stereoisomers would be mannose and galactose.

Why there are 4 D-aldopentoses but only two D-ketopentoses?

This is my understanding.... though I am no expert by any means... Aldopentoses have 3 chiral centers (assymetrical carbon atoms) which allows for 8 stereoisomers (4D and 4L) while ketopentoses have 2 chiral centers which makes 4 stereoisomers .
