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: -Explanation: Ribose is a 5C sugar found in RNA, hence the name Ribose Nucleic Acid.
Detailed explanation-3: -While DNA contains deoxyribose, RNA contains ribose, characterised by the presence of the 2′-hydroxyl group on the pentose ring (Figure 5).
Detailed explanation-4: -(Top) -d-Ribose is the ribose sugar found in RNA molecules.
Detailed explanation-5: -Ribose is a single-ring pentose [5-Carbon] sugar. The numbering of the carbon atoms runs clockwise, following organic chemistry rules.
