With enough activation energy, the most energetically stable product will be formed. In this case, 2-furaldehyde semicarbazone is more stable than cyclohexanone semicarbazone because 2-furaldehyde semicarbazone has an aromatic ring.
No, monomers and polymers of aldehydes and ketones do not have hydroxyl groups attached. Aldehydes and ketones have a carbonyl group (C=O) attached to at least one carbon atom and do not have any hydroxyl groups (-OH) attached to the carbon chain.
Formaldehyde, H2C=O, is the basic member of organic compounds known as aldehydes. Aldehydes are hydrocarbons (chains of carbons with hydrogen attached) with an oxygen atom double-bonded to a carbon.
Typically aromatic groups attached to functional groups increase the reaction over that of an aliphatic groups. Aromatic aldehydes (e.g. benzaldehyde, C6H5.CHO), are also known which undergo a number of chemical reaction which do nor occur for aliphatic aldehydes and which are unique to aromatic aldehydes.

ketones and aldehydes
All primary (10) alcohols may be oxidized to aldehydes.
Aldehydes
The aldehydes and ketones having three or less carbon atoms are soluble in water.

Aldehydes are less sterically hindered than ketones. Also, aldehydes have fewer electron donating groups (EDG's) which can stabilize an electron-poor area. The extra carbon chain that ketones have that aldehydes do not have are the reason for both of these things. The neighboring carbon to the carbonyl carbon is an EDG and the carbon chain causes steric hindrance.
Aldehydes are what create the color in any stain; especially the PAS stain. In reference, the aldehyde are the pigments that can cause permanent staining in a fabric.
