What is the difference between ribose and deoxyribose?

Deoxyribose is a component of DNA which lacks -OH (alcohol group) on the 2' carbon ring Ribose is a component of RNA which contains -OH group on the 2" carbon ring The main difference between the two is that ribose has an oxygen atom attached to carbon 2.

Ribose is indeed a pentose sugar. A ribose molecule has 5 carbons and this is what classifies it as a pentose. (Note, for comparison with the sugar found in DNA, that deoxyribose is also a pentose.)
