Detailed explanation-2: -Ribose is a single-ring pentose [5-Carbon] sugar. The numbering of the carbon atoms runs clockwise, following organic chemistry rules.
Detailed explanation-3: -RNA contains ribose (pentose) sugar.
Detailed explanation-4: -The five-carbon sugar in DNA is called deoxyribose, while in RNA, the sugar is ribose.
