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- ).

Where is RNA found in the cell?
RNA is found in the Cytoplasm
What nitrogenous is found in rna but not in DNA?
A nitrogenous base that is found in RNA but not DNA is uracil.
Where are the two places in the cell is RNA found?
From what i know RNA can be found in the nucleus and the cytoplasm, but from other sources it tells me that RNA can be found in ribosomes and mitochondria
What is the location of RNA?
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is found in a cell's ribosomes, the structures where protein synthesis takes place.
What is the sugar found un RNA?
RNA contains the sugar ribose.
Where is RNA found in the cell?
RNA is found in the Cytoplasm
Where in the nucleus is RNA found?
RNA is found anywhere in the nucleus after it is transcribed.
What bases found in DNA but not in RNA?
Uracil is found in RNA but not 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
Is RNA is carbohydrate protein lipid or nucleic acid?
DNA is considered a type of nucleic acid. These acids are polymeric macromolecules that are required for life. RNA, is another type of nucleic acid.
What are found in DNA and rna?
Deoxyribose is the sugar found in DNA. Ribose is the sugar found in RNA.
Which is one of the bases found in RNA?
Uracil is one of the bases found in RNA.
What base is found DNA but not in RNA?
Thymine

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.
