Your Answer

The 5-carbon sugars ribose and deoxyribose are important components of nucleotides, and are found in RNA and DNA, respectively. The sugars found in nucleic acids are pentose sugars; a pentose sugar has five carbon atoms. ... Deoxyribose, found in DNA, is a modified sugar, lacking one oxygen atom (hence the name "deoxy").
