Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glyceraldehyde is the smallest aldose, with only one carbon atom.

Answer: J
 Epimers are aldoses that differ in the configuration around one specific carbon atom. For example, glucose and galactose are epimers because they differ only in the configuration around carbon 4.

Answer: P
 Amylose is a type of starch made from glucose units linked by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds, and it's not related to aldoses.
