Final answer:

Carbohydrate structures are classified based on type, size, and configuration, such as aldose or ketose, triose, tetrose, pentose, or hexose, and D or L sugars.


Explanation:

Carbohydrates can be classified based on their structure:

  1. Aldose or Ketose: Aldose sugars have an aldehyde group, like glyceraldehyde, while ketose sugars have a ketone group, like dihydroxyacetone.
  2. Triose, Tetrose, Pentose, or Hexose: Refers to the number of carbons in the carbohydrate. For example, dihydroxyacetone is a ketose triose.
  3. D or L Sugar: Indicates the configuration around the chiral center; glucose, for instance, is a D sugar.
