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: --d-Ribose is a 5-carbon sugar with a hydroxyl group (-OH) on each carbon. Carbons 1 and 4 are joined into a five-member ring through the C4 hydroxyl oxygen. This ribose sugar is found in all RNA molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sugar. Both DNA and RNA are built with a sugar backbone, but whereas the sugar in DNA is called deoxyribose (left in image), the sugar in RNA is called simply ribose (right in image).
Detailed explanation-4: -The pentose sugar in DNA is called deoxyribose, and in RNA, the sugar is ribose.
Detailed explanation-5: -Ribose is a simple sugar and carbohydrate with molecular formula C5H10O5 and the linear-form composition H−(C=O)−(CHOH)4−H. The naturally-occurring form, d-ribose, is a component of the ribonucleotides from which RNA is built, and so this compound is necessary for coding, decoding, regulation and expression of genes.
