Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is the sugar found in RNA?
A
Ribose
B
Maltose
C
Deoxyribose
D
Amylose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -ribose, also called D-ribose, five-carbon sugar found in RNA (ribonucleic acid), where it alternates with phosphate groups to form the “backbone” of the RNA polymer and binds to nitrogenous bases.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sugar moiety in RNA is -D-ribose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ribose is a monosaccharide pentose sugar present in RNA while deoxyribose is a derived monosaccharide sugar present in DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose is not found in either DNA nor RNA.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ribose is a sugar that forms the backbone of a very important molecule called ribonucleic acid (RNA). RNA plays an essential role in helping translate genetic material from DNA to essential proteins for the organism. Ribose is a type of sugar that is naturally found in all cells.
