Question

what is the five-carbon sugar found in dna

Answer 1

DNA contains the sugar Deoxyribose which is a monosaccahride represented by the formula H-(C=O)-(CH₂)-(CHOH)₃-H

Answer 2

Answer:

deoxyribose:is the five-carbon sugar found in dna.

Explanation:

• Deoxyribose is a pentose sugar found in DNA and it is monosaccharide.

• Deoxyribose molecule is made up of ten hydrogen atom and the four oxygen atom.

• Deoxyribose formula:(H−(C=O)−(CH2)−(CHOH)3−H).
• plays a major role in DNA formation, it is a building block of the DNA.

• Deoxyribose sugar makes the DNA stable because it has one oxygen less containing the hydroxyl group.

• Deoxyribose is formed from the ribose 5-phosphate and by the enzymes ribonucleotide reductases.
