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 and deoxyribose are both sugars. They have identical chemical structure except that ribose has a hydroxyl group (OH) on carbon 2, while deoxyribose is without an oxygen on carbon 2 (H). Ribose is the sugar component of the structure of RNA (ribonucleic acid) and deoxyribose is the sugar component in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
Deoxyribose is a ribose molecule that has a hydrogen (H) atom in place of a hydroxyl (OH) group at position 2.
Deoxyribose is a component of DNA.
Ribose is a component of RNA.
Both nucleic acids carry genetic information.
The 5-carbon sugars, ribose and deoxyribose, are important components of nucleotides. Deoxyribose, which is found in DNA, is a modified sugar, lacking one oxygen atom.
a 5-carbon sugar (compaired to ribose sugar, deoxyribose sugar found in DNA has one less oxygen atom)
ribose has a single strand and contain sugar and bases is G,C,U,A.
deoxiribose has a double strand and contain sugar too and bases is G,C,T,A.
Deoxyribose is missing an oxygen at the second carbon.
D-Ribose is just another way to say ribose.
In RNA, there is ribose that replaces deoxyribose.
Cytidine is composed of one molecule each of cytosine and ribose. The cytosine molecule is the same between DNA and RNA, the difference is in the sugar backbone. In RNA it is ribose while in DNA it is deoxyribose.
In DNA, the sugar found is 2-deoxyribose. In RNA, the sugar found is ribose. Both are 5-carbon sugars. The only difference between them is that the first mentioned above has one oxygen atom less than ribose sugar, at the position 2'.
The sugar found in the backbone of DNA is the deoxyribose.
it is deoxyribose. there is little difference between ribose and deoxyribose though.
DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose and RNA contains the sugar ribose. Deoxyribose sugar has one less oxygen atom than ribose.
In RNA, there is ribose that replaces deoxyribose.
The only difference between deoxyribose and ribose is that the Oxygen from the 2' carbon is not there in the deoxyribose - 'deoxy' meaning less oxygen. This makes DNA much more stable than RNA, as RNA is easily destabilised at basic pH.
A hydoxyl group is present on carbon 2 of the compound in ribose whereas it is not in deoxyribose.
RNA is a single stranded molecule while DNA is a double stranded molecule. RNA contains the sugar ribose while DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose. The difference between ribose and deoxyribose is ribose has one more -OH group than deoxyribose, which has -H attached to the second carbon in the ring.
Ribose and deoxyribose are both sugars. They have identical chemical structure except that ribose has a hydroxyl group (OH) on carbon 2, while deoxyribose is without an oxygen on carbon 2 (H). Ribose is the sugar component of the structure of RNA (ribonucleic acid) and deoxyribose is the sugar component in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
Cytidine is composed of one molecule each of cytosine and ribose. The cytosine molecule is the same between DNA and RNA, the difference is in the sugar backbone. In RNA it is ribose while in DNA it is deoxyribose.
D in DNA stands for Deoxyribose. R in RNA stands for Ribose. Deoxyribose is ribose but the 2' hydroxyl group is not present.
ribose
No oxygen on the second carbon of the deoxyribose sugar used in DNA. That is the only difference between ribose and deoxyribose sugars. And, of course RNA is single stranded and has catalytic properties DNA does not have. DNA is strictly a storage of information molecule.
In DNA, the sugar found is 2-deoxyribose. In RNA, the sugar found is ribose. Both are 5-carbon sugars. The only difference between them is that the first mentioned above has one oxygen atom less than ribose sugar, at the position 2'.
