1. pyranose
   Sugar structure in which the carbonyl carbon is condensed with a hydroxyl group (ie. in a hemi-acetal link), forming a ring of five carbons and one oxygen. Most hexoses exist in this form, although in sucrose, fructose is found with the smaller (four carbon) furanose ring.

6. Pyranose
   `Pyranose` is a collective term for carbohydrates that have a chemical structure that includes a six-membered ring consisting of five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. The name derives from its similarity to the oxygen heterocycle pyran, but the pyranose ring does not have double bonds. A pyranose i...
