They are not isomers because isomers have the same chemical formula with a different structure. These have different formulas ribose is C5H10O5 and deoxyribose is C5H10O4. Deoxy actually means that oxygen is removed.

∙ 12y agoRibose usually refers to D-ribose, which is one of two enantiomers of ribose, the other being L-ribose. D-ribose is formed naturally and L-ribose is synthetic.
Their molecular structures are identical except their molecules are mirror images of each other. Hence they are classed as enantiomers.

∙ 12y agoNo, ribose and deoxyribose do not have the same chemical formulas, so they cannot be structural isomers. Deoxyribose is derived from ribose, and has one less oxygen atom, hence "deoxy". Ribose has the chemical formula C5H10O5. DNA has the chemical formula C5H10O4.

Why is glucose a structural isomer?
A structural isomer is when molecules have the same formula, but a different structure. Glucose is a structural isomer because Pyruvate and Ribose have the same formula (CH2O), but have a different number of carbons, hydrogens and oxygens: C3H6O3 - Pyruvate C5H10O5 - Ribose C6H12O6 - Glucose Hope this helps! :)
