BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation : In DNA, deoxyribose sugar is present.

Detailed explanation-2: -The pentose sugar in DNA is called deoxyribose, and in RNA, the sugar is ribose. The difference between the sugars is the presence of the hydroxyl group on the 2’ carbon of the ribose and its absence on the 2’ carbon of the deoxyribose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ribose is a single-ring pentose [5-Carbon] sugar. The numbering of the carbon atoms runs clockwise, following organic chemistry rules. Note the absence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group on the 2’ carbon in the deoxy-ribose sugar in DNA as compared with the ribose sugar in RNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because of its structure, DNA is commonly referred to as deoxyribonucleic acid. The nucleic acid has a phosphate backbone with bases such as adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine, while the deoxyribose portion contains pentose sugar. The-OH group at position two of the sugar ring is absent in deoxyribose.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
