Pentose
A pentose is a monosaccharide with five carbon atoms.They either have an aldehyde functional group in position 1 (aldopentoses), or a ketone  functional group in position 2 (ketopentoses).The aldopentoses have three chiral centres ("asymmetric carbon atoms") and so 8 different stereoisomers are possible.
