    ✓ An aldose is defined as a monosaccharide whose carbon skeleton has an aldehyde group. They are primarily found in plants. Ketose is a monosaccharide whose carbon skeleton has a ketone group. Only in the presence of reducing sugar, they can isomerize to aldose. ✓An aldose is a monosaccharide (a simple sugar) with a carbon backbone chain with a carbonyl group on the endmost carbon atom, making it an aldehyde, and hydroxyl groups connected to all the other carbon atoms. ✓A ketose is a monosaccharide containing one ketone group per molecule. The simplest ketose is dihydroxyacetone, which has only three carbon atoms.
