   Pentose
   A `pentose` is a monosaccharide with five carbon atoms. They either have an aldehyde functional group in position 1 (`aldopentoses`), or a ketone functional group in position 2 (`ketopentoses`). The aldopentoses have three chiral centres (`asymmetric carbon atoms`) and so 8 different stereoisomers are possible. The 4 D-aldopentoses are: CH=O CH=O CH=O CH=O | | | | HC-OH HO-CH HC-OH HO-CH | | | | HC-OH HC-OH HO-CH HO-CH | | | | HC-OH HC...
