A triose is a monosaccharide containing three carbon atoms. There are only two trioses, an aldotriose (glyceraldehyde) and a ketotriose.

Where do the carbon hydrogen and oxygen in triose phosphate originate from?

The carbon atoms come from the Ribulose biphosphate and CO2 fixation. The oxygen also comes from CO2 fixation. The hydrogen comes from the oxidation of NADPH (which was produced in the light-dependent reaction)

What are the characteristic of monosaccharide?

Monosaccharides are simple sugars that consist of a single sugar unit. They are water-soluble, have a sweet taste, and are the building blocks of more complex carbohydrates. Monosaccharides can be classified based on the number of carbon atoms they contain, such as triose, tetrose, pentose, and hexose.


How many carbons would a pentose sugar have?

Pentose sugar has 5 carbon atoms if that's what your asking..!(:
