$Hint:$ A carbohydrate is a polyhydroxy aldehyde or ketone.
$Hint:$ A carbohydrate is a polyhydroxy aldehyde or ketone.
$Explanation- $Ribose is a monosaccharide having five carbons, thus called pentose sugar. Ribose is the most important pentose present in living organisms. It is an aldose sugar, having an aldehydic functional group. Its molecular formula is represented as $C_5 H_{10} O_5$ . The structural formula of ribose is as follow:
