Which of the following monosaccharides are present as five-membered cyclic structure (furanose structure)?

Both monosaccharides Ribose and Fructose have a cyclic structure. They both contain a five-membered ring which is polyhydroxy carbonyl compounds.

So both option (i) and (iii) are correct.


Glucose and galactose both are monosaccharides containing the six-membered ring. So (ii) and (iv) are not correct.
