Monosaccharides,either aldoses or ketoses, are often given more detailed generic names to describe both the important functional groups and the total number of carbon atoms.Thus, one can refer to aldotetroses and ketotetroses, aldopentoses and ketopentoses,aldohexoses and ketohexoses,and so on.Sometimes the aldoses do not need to use prefix ald-,e.g. tetroses,pentoses,hexoses,and heptoses,but the ketoses must use prefix keto-

Sometimes the ketone-containing monosaccharides are named simply by inserting the letters-ul- into the simple generic terms, such as tetruloses,pentuloses, hexuloses,heptuloses,and so on
