Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The sugar in RNA is
A
deoxyribose
B
glucose
C
maltose
D
sucrose
E
ribose
Explanation: 

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: -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.
