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: -The sugar moiety in RNA is -D-ribose.
Detailed explanation-3: -An RNA molecule has a backbone made of alternating phosphate groups and the sugar ribose, rather than the deoxyribose found in DNA. Attached to each sugar is one of four bases: adenine (A), uracil (U), cytosine (C) or guanine (G).
Detailed explanation-4: -RNA contains ribose (pentose) sugar.
Detailed explanation-5: -Hint: The 5-carbon sugar present in RNA (ribonucleic acid) is known as ribose sugar. Ribose sugar is a type of simple sugar that naturally occurs in the form of ribonucleotides.
