Groups of monosaccharide?

Monosaccharides can be grouped into three main categories based on the number of carbon atoms they contain:

1. Trioses: Monosaccharides with three carbon atoms, such as glyceraldehyde.

2. Tetroses: Monosaccharides with four carbon atoms, such as erythrose.

3. Pentoses: Monosaccharides with five carbon atoms, such as ribose.

4. Hexoses: Monosaccharides with six carbon atoms, such as glucose and fructose.

5. Heptoses: Monosaccharides with seven carbon atoms, such as sedoheptulose.
