Vedclass · Answer

(D) reducing sugar is a carbohydrate that possesses a free aldehyde or ketone group,which allows it to act as a reducing agent. $Glucose$,$fructose$,and $galactose$ are all monosaccharides that contain a free carbonyl group (aldehyde in $glucose$ and $galactose$,and a ketone group in $fructose$ that can tautomerize to an aldehyde in alkaline solution). Therefore,all of these are reducing sugars.
