Which of the following statement is not true about glucose?
A
It is an aldopentose.
B
It is an aldohexose.
C
It contains five hydroxyl groups.

Detailed Solution
Glucose is an aldohexose (a six-carbon sugar with an aldehyde group), not an aldopentose (a five-carbon sugar) — so the statement that it is an aldopentose is not true.
