Which of the following statements about monosaccharides is true? A. Monosaccharides are classified according to the location of their carbonyl group. B. The penultimate chiral center of a monosaccharide determines its handedness. C. If the carbonyl group of a monosaccharide is terminal then it will react positively with Barfoed's and Seliwanoff's tests. D. The cyclization of monosaccharides results to the formation of a cyclic ether. E. The existence of anomers is due to the mutarotation along the reference carbon
