Solution

(a) Fructiose is a ketohexose. Its carbon is attached to an hydrogen atom by a single bond and to an oxygen atom by a double bond.

Erythrose is a tetrose carbohydrate $(C_{4} H_{8} O_{4})$ . Its a part of tetrose family and possesses one aldehyde group.

Ribulose is a ketopentose, containing five carbon atoms and includes 'ketone' as a functional group.

Ribose is a pentose which is a major component of DNA and RNA
