Well, to determine the type of sugar that is present and serves to play an important role in the overall structure and function of this particular nucleic acid is by the fact that the strand is single stranded, and not double stranded as in DNA. The only other commonly known Nucleic acid that is single stranded is RNA. Another clue or hint that points us in the direction to state that this a polynucleotide stranded molecule of RNA, is by the presence of the nitrogenous base, Uracil. DNA in place has thymine, uracil is only found on RNA, and is complementary to thymine, if used in transcription. Basically all of this information simply points to RNA, and the sugar contained in RNA would be ribose.
Answer:
It could lead to several later problems in the cell.
Explanation:
Removing a piece of DNA could severely affect the cell but it could also cause nothing. Depending on the part that is damaged, it could codify for a vital protein but it could also be an intron, which are pieces of DNA that don't codify for any protein. This has been recently researched and even though there are introns that could cause some serious trouble, most of them are an unknown matter to nowadays scientists. Anyway, a wrongly repaired sequence could end in a mutation that can potentially damage the cell and therefore the organism.

Photosynthesis and respiration
