Ketose reducing?

Why are ketoses reducing? What　I am usually told is that the carbonyl group cutting through a carbon chain is no reducing.......

plx give me the mechanism...

I believe since ketoses contain a carbonyl group, which are highly acidic, acts a hydrogen donor reducing its corresponding acceptor. LostLucidity (talk) 17:39, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
