Which of the following monosaccharides are present as have membered cyclic structure (furanose structure)?
1. Ribose
2. Glucose
3. fructose
4. Galactose
(a, c) Ribose and fructose have five-membered cyclic furanose structure because it includes 5 carbon atom containing polyhydroxy carbonyl compound. Hence (a) and (c) are the correct choice.
