Sugars can be classified under various criteria.
(1) According to the number of monomers present they could be classified as mono saccharides(one monomer), di saccharides(2 monomers) and oligosaccharides(3 to 10 monomers).
Mono saccharides could be classified further depending on the number of C atoms present as:
Triose (3 C atoms)
Tetrose (4 C atoms)
Pentose (5 C atoms)
Hexose (6 C atoms)
Heptose (7 C atoms)
(2) According to the functional group present.
If the functional group is an aldehyde then those sugars are Aldoses
If the functional group is an ketone then those sugars are Ketoses.
I saw this under the chemistry category. Hope this is what you expected.
