Detailed Solution

  • A reducing sugar is any sugar that is capable of acting as a reducing agent because, it has a free aldehyde group or a free ketone group.
  • All monosaccharides are reducing sugars because all monosaccharides have an aldehyde group (if they are aldoses) or can tautomerize in solution to form an aldehyde group (if they are ketoses).
  • This includes common monosaccharides like galactose, glucose, glyceraldehyde, fructose, ribose, and xylose.
