Why isdoes the acyclic to cyclic rearrangementcyclization of Glucose formedopen-chain glucose occur via the C5 hydroxyl group?

In converting glucose from its acyclic (open-chain) form to either cyclic form (alpha or beta) why is the C5 hydroxyl group used instead of the bottommostbottom-most hydroxyl group?

Also, are these structures considered isomers? All sources I've seen only say "form" or "representation."
