Ketose: A ketose is a simple sugar unit (monosaccharide) containing one
D and L enantiomers: L isomers have the hydroxyl group attached to the left side of the asymmetric carbon furthest from the carbonyl.
R isomers have the hydroxyl group attached to the right side of the asymmetric carbon furthest from the carbonyl.
D-Glyceraldehyde has the R configuration, while L-glyceraldehyde has the S configuration.

Interpretation:
The given Glyceraldehyde is D or L should be identified.
Concept introduction:
Aldose: A monosaccharide in which carbon serves as a backbone and contains an aldehyde group at the beginning.
