Nucleic Acids store and transmit hereditary, or genetic,information. There are two types of nucleic acids which are Ribonucleic acid (RNA) and Deoxyribonuleic acid (DNA). RNA contains the sugar ribose and DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose.

∙ 9y agoThe type of sugar that is found in RNA is known as ribose. It is a simple sugar. Deoxyribose is found in DNA.

RNA contains ribose sugar
The DNA sugar contains one less oxygen molecule hence De-oxy :)

Differences of RNA and DNA?
1. RNA have the base uracil whereas DNA have the base thymine. 2. RNA contain ribose sugar residues whereas DNA contain deoxyribose sugar residues. 3. RNA are single-stranded whereas DNA are double-stranded.
What are the three main differences in RNA and DNA?
DNA nucleotides contain the sugar deoxyribose. RNA nucleotides contain the sugar ribose. DNA contains the nitrogen bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. RNA contains the same nitrogen bases, except for thymine. RNA contains the nitrogen base uracil in place of thymine. DNA is a double-stranded molecule, whereas RNA is single-stranded.
How are DNA and RNA alike?
DNA and RNA are alike because they both contain nitrogen bases, they are both nucleotides, they both contain sugar, and a phosphate.
Is the 5 carbon sugar in DNA nucleotides called a ribose?
It is true, RNA nucleotides contain the five-carbon sugar ribose.
What is the name of a sugar found in DNA but not in RNA?
DNA has the deoxyribose sugar, while RNA has the ribose sugar.
Is a phosphate DNA or RNA?
Both DNA and RNA contain a sugar phosphate group as the backbone to their structure. In DNA the sugar is deoxyribose, where as in RNA it is just ribose.
How are DNA and RNA simular?
DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid RNA: ribonucleic acid Both DNA and RNA are polymers of nucleotides. They both contain a sugar-phosphate backbone (deoxyribose sugar in DNA, ribose sugar in RNA) and they both contain A, G, and C nitrogenous bases (additionally, T in DNA and U in RNA).
Differences of RNA and DNA?
1. RNA have the base uracil whereas DNA have the base thymine. 2. RNA contain ribose sugar residues whereas DNA contain deoxyribose sugar residues. 3. RNA are single-stranded whereas DNA are double-stranded.
DNA and RNA both contain what sugar?
dont know get a book.
What does DNA contain that RNA doesn't?
A deoxiribose sugar and the base thymine.
What are the three main differences in RNA and DNA?
DNA nucleotides contain the sugar deoxyribose. RNA nucleotides contain the sugar ribose. DNA contains the nitrogen bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. RNA contains the same nitrogen bases, except for thymine. RNA contains the nitrogen base uracil in place of thymine. DNA is a double-stranded molecule, whereas RNA is single-stranded.
How are DNA and RNA alike?
DNA and RNA are alike because they both contain nitrogen bases, they are both nucleotides, they both contain sugar, and a phosphate.
What sugar does RNA contain and what bases does it have?
It contains the bases Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Uracil in place of Thymine (on DNA) and the sugar in RNA is Ribose.
Is the 5 carbon sugar in DNA nucleotides called a ribose?
It is true, RNA nucleotides contain the five-carbon sugar ribose.
Name 2 basic kinds of nucleic acids what sugar does each contain?
Two kinds of nucleic acids are:-RNA/ Ribonucleic Acid-DNA/ Deoxyribonucleic AcidAs there names, RNA contain the sugar ribose and DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose
What is the name of a sugar found in DNA but not in RNA?
DNA has the deoxyribose sugar, while RNA has the ribose sugar.
Does DNA ribose contain sugar?
no, DNA contains deoxyribose, and RNA contains ribose
