The carbohydrate in DNA is deoxyribose.
More fully, the name is beta-D-2-deoxyribose.
DNA is a polymer of nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a phosphate group, a molecule of deoxyribose, and one of four bases.
Deoxyribose is a pentose sugar (it has five carbon atoms). In DNA the sugar residue includes a five-membered ring comprising four of the carbons and one oxygen atom. The fifth carbon is attached to one of the other carbons.
Deoxyribose takes its name from ribose (the sugar in RNA). Ribose has a hydroxyl group on carbon 2 ( -CHOH- ) but deoxyribose lacks this hydroxyl group and therefore has one oxygen atom fewer than ribose. The DNA carbon 2 (designated 2' in the nucleotide because the numbering begins in the base) carries two hydrogen atoms ( -CH2- ).
What else can I help you with?
Is ribose found in DNA or RNA?
Ribose is found in RNA, not DNA.
Is thymine found in both DNA and RNA?
Yes, thymine is found in DNA but not in RNA. In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil.
What is the sugar found un RNA?
The sugar found in RNA is ribose. Ribose is a five-carbon sugar that is a component of RNA molecules.
What molecule is found in DNA but not in RNA?
The SUGAR found in DNA but not RNA is Codo.
What nitrogenous is found in rna but not in DNA?
A nitrogenous base that is found in RNA but not DNA is uracil.
Which neuclitides found in RNA not in DNA?
Uracil is a nucleotide found in RNA but not in DNA. In RNA, uracil replaces thymine, which is found in DNA.
Is a nucleotide a carbohydrate or lipid?
Neither, a carbohydrate is a sugar, proteins are amino acids, lipids are fats! Nucleotides are what make DNA and RNA! They are considered a monomer
What bases found in DNA but not in RNA?
Uracil is found in RNA but not in DNA.
Is ribose found in DNA or RNA?
Ribose is found in RNA, not DNA.
What element is found in adenine that is not found in carbohydrate?
Nitrogen is found in adenine but is not typically found in carbohydrates. Nitrogen is a key component of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA, which adenine is a part of. Carbohydrates, on the other hand, are mainly composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
What Type of carbohydrate is sweet and found in fruits?
Fructose is a sweet carbohydrate found in fruits.
What are found in DNA and rna?
Deoxyribose is the sugar found in DNA. Ribose is the sugar found in RNA.
What base is found DNA but not in RNA?
Thymine
Where in the nucleus is RNA found?
RNA is found in the nucleus in the form of messenger RNA (mRNA), which carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm for protein synthesis. RNA is also found in the nucleus as transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) which are involved in protein synthesis within the cell.
Is thymine found in both DNA and RNA?
Yes, thymine is found in DNA but not in RNA. In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil.
Where are codons and anticpdpns found?
Codons are found on messenger RNA, while anticodons are found on transfer RNA
Which monomer is not found in RNA?
An RNA monomer is a nucleotide.
