Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option B: Galactose
Concept: Aldohexoses are six-carbon sugars with a terminal aldehyde functional group at Carbon-1.

Solution: Galactose (along with Glucose) is a classic aldohexose sugar (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)). Fructose is a ketohexose, and Ribose is an aldopentose.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
