Detailed explanation-1: -Additionally, RNA contains ribose sugars rather than deoxyribose sugars, which makes RNA more unstable and more prone to degradation. RNA is synthesized from DNA by an enzyme known as RNA polymerase during a process called transcription.
Detailed explanation-2: -The sugar moiety in RNA is -D-ribose.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ribose can be found in both plants and animals, including: Mushrooms. Beef and poultry. Cheddar cheese and cream cheese.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ribose is a monosaccharide pentose sugar present in RNA while deoxyribose is a derived monosaccharide sugar present in DNA. Galactose and fructose are hexose sugar.
Detailed explanation-5: -The pentose sugar in DNA is called deoxyribose, and in RNA, the sugar is ribose.
