∙ 12y agoSo DNA and RNA are to different types of nucleic acids DNA contains Deoxyribose (that's the sugar) and RNA contains ribose (that's the sugar)
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoIn DNA [2' - two prime] deoxyribose sugar is present while in Rna ribose sugar is present.

∙ 11y agoThe type of pentose sugar found in DNA is 2-deoxyribose.
It is a monosaccharide with the structure H-(C=O)-(CH2)-(CHOH)3-H.

DNA and RNA are named by their?
Sugars (deoxyribose and ribose)
Do DNA contain sugars?
This is false!! The correct answer is RNA
What are the sugars found in DNA and Rna?
The sugar found in DNA is called two-prime [2'] deoxyribose. The sugar found in Rna is called ribose.
Is sugar DNA or RNA?
It is neither. Sugars are substances whose chemical names have the suffix -ose: glucose, sucrose, maltose, fructose, lactose, galactose, riboses,. Rnas and Dnas are nucleotides.
A molecular chain of nucleotides?
Polynucleotides is a chemical way to refering to DNA or RNA. The backbone of a DNA or RNA is an alternating sequence of sugars and phosphates. If the chain is DNA the sugar is deoxyribonucleic acid. If the chain if RNA, the sugar is ribonucleic acid.
Do DNA contain sugars?
This is false!! The correct answer is RNA
DNA and RNA are named by their?
Sugars (deoxyribose and ribose)
What has base sugars and phosphate?
Both DNA and RNA have all three.
What are the sugars found in DNA and Rna?
The sugar found in DNA is called two-prime [2'] deoxyribose. The sugar found in Rna is called ribose.
What sugars are found in DNA?
The only sugar found in DNA is deoxyribose. DNA means deoxyribonucleic acid. The only sugar found in RNA is ribose. RNA means ribonucleic acid.
How does the sugars in a DNA nucleotide differ from that of an RNA nucleotide?
The sugar in a DNA nucleotide contains one less oxygen atom.
What is a pentose?
Pentose is a five carbon sugar. They make up the sugars that form DNA and RNA.
Is sugar DNA or RNA?
It is neither. Sugars are substances whose chemical names have the suffix -ose: glucose, sucrose, maltose, fructose, lactose, galactose, riboses,. Rnas and Dnas are nucleotides.
A molecular chain of nucleotides?
Polynucleotides is a chemical way to refering to DNA or RNA. The backbone of a DNA or RNA is an alternating sequence of sugars and phosphates. If the chain is DNA the sugar is deoxyribonucleic acid. If the chain if RNA, the sugar is ribonucleic acid.
What are the differences between sugars and bases of nucleotide of DNA and RNA?
RNA contains the base Uracil and the sugar it contains is ribose. DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose and the base thymine. Uracil replaces Thymine and the opposite
What RNA stands for?
RNA is ribonucleic acid. It is a nucleic acid just as DNA. DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid. It actually has to do with OH groups on the sugars ribose and deoxyribose. In higher organisms, RNA functions: to carry the message from DNA, to carry an amino acid, and in the make up of organelles called ribosomes.
Is a 5 carbon sugar a component of nucleic acid?
Yes. The 5-carbon sugars are deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA.
