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.
