    The projection of the Fisher projection of D-Fructose and D-glucose is that The carbonyl carbon in D-glucose is carbon 1 (aldehyde), whereas in D-fructose, the carbonyl group is on carbon 2 (ketone).

    Explanation:

    An aldehyde is a compound containing a functional group with the structure - CHO, consisting of a carbonyl center and

    A ketone is a functional group with the structure RC (=O) R', where R and R' can be a variety of carbon-containing substituents.
