    Cellulose is an aldohexose

    Explanation:

    Cellulose is an aldohexose, because, it has an aldehyde group present at one of the end.

    Seliwanoff's test

    It is the test to differentiate between a ketose and an aldose.

    The test is as follows -

    If the sample is heated and it it readily gets dehydrated, then the sample is a ketose.

    And, the reaction of Seliwanoff's reagent and ketose, give a red color, which is the positive sign for the test.

    But,

    the reaction of Seliwanoff's reagent and aldoses, give a very light pink color.
