It is true, RNA nucleotides contain the five-carbon sugar ribose.
RNA does not contain sugars, but rather nucleotides that are made up of a sugar (ribose), a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group. The sugar in RNA is ribose, which is a pentose sugar with five carbon atoms.
The kind of sugars that nucleotides contain is the five carbon ring structure.
The pentose sugar in RNA is called RIBOSE
it is deoxyribose. there is little difference between ribose and deoxyribose though.
ribose is the sugar that is in DNA and it is what connects the base pairs to the backbone of the dna
No it's called a De-oxyribose suagr, as in DNA there is one less oxygen atom than in an RNA ribose. So for RNA it's ribose, for DNA it's De-oxyribose

The sugar found in DNA nucleotides is called deoxyribose. It is a five-carbon sugar that lacks one oxygen atom compared to ribose, the sugar found in RNA nucleotides. This structural difference is key to distinguishing between DNA and RNA.

Ribonucleic acid, or RNA, is a family of biological molecules that is assembled as a chain of nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a ribose sugar.
That depends on what nucleic acid you're referring to. In the case of DNA, the sugar will be deoxyribose. In the case of RNA, the sugar will be ribose.
DNA is composed of deoxy ribose nucleotide (containing deoxy ribose sugars). Deoxy ribose sugar lacks an OH group at the 2' position RNA is composed of ribose nucleotides (containing ribose sugar)
