Question

The sugar in RNA is, the sugar in DNA is

Answer 1

Answer:

Last choice: ribose; deoxyribose

Explanation:

Ribose (otherwise known as D-ribose) is a sugar found in RNA (ribonucleic acid). It alternates with phosphate groups to create the “backbone” of the RNA polymer.

Deoxyribose (sugar in DNA) is one of the three components of nucleotides for DNA. Each nucleotide consists of a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base:  adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine, and deoxyribose.

Glucose is a type of sugar which is a common and crucial energy source in living organisms and is often a component in various carbohydrates. Plants can create glucose by going through a process called photosynthesis, and once it's done with the process, they use the glucose (sugar) as their food for energy.
