The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of xylulose, the ketopentose threo-2-pentulose. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of monosaccharides, polyhydric alcohols containing either an aldehyde or a keto group and between three to ten or more carbon atoms. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of a pentose, any monosaccharide with a chain of five carbon atoms in the molecule. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of ribitol, a pentitol derived formally by reduction of the -CHO group of either D- or L-ribose. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of D-ribose (ribo-pentose). The chemical reactions and pathways involving a pentose, any monosaccharide with a chain of five carbon atoms in the molecule. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of carbohydrates, any of a group of organic compounds based of the general formula Cx(H2O)y, as carried out by individual cells. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of arabinose, arabino-pentose. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of D-xylose, a naturally occurring plant polysaccharide. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of alcohols, any of a class of compounds containing one or more hydroxyl groups attached to a saturated carbon atom. The chemical reactions and pathways involving monosaccharides, the simplest carbohydrates. They are polyhydric alcohols containing either an aldehyde or a keto group and between three to ten or more carbon atoms. They form the constitutional repeating units of oligo- and polysaccharides.
