A feature which distinguishes ribose from deoxyribose is, the absence of an OH at the 2' carbon.
In the ribose the second carbon atom contains hydrogen atom only. Ribose is termed as the carbohydrate.
It is a simple sugar which has linear form H-. It is a monosaccharide which contains five carbon atoms.
Deoxyribose is being derived from DNA and it differs from ribose by having hydrogen atom instead of hydroxyl group which functions as a RNA splicing.
Answer:
Homeostasis
Explanation:
Homeostasis is a mechanism of the body which involves negative feedback loops that helps the body to maintain a stable internal environment when there is an external or internal change.
An example of homeostasis in the human body is the regulation of the internal temperature of the body. When there is a change in the normal body temperature, for example, if your temperature drops sharply below 37 degrees Celsius, homeostasis kicks off in the body to maintain the normal body temperature. Homeostasis uses thermoregulation mechanism which triggers shivering to raise the body temperature in an attempt to return it back to normal.
Homeostasis also makes it possible for the body to maintain the balance of water and other substances in the body like calcium in our body. For example, when the calcium level drops below normal level, the parathyroid gland secretes hormone which helps in the increasing of blood calcium levels.
Homeostasis s a essential mechanism that helps keeps the body in a balance and functional state.
