Pentose is a five carbon sugar. They make up the sugars that form DNA and RNA.
pentose phosphate pathway (also called phosphogluconate pathway, or hexose monophosphate shunt [HMP shunt])
No, fructose is a hexose sugar, it is made up of 6 carbons.
Ribulose, C5H10O5 (where the numbers should be subscripts) is a ketopentose.
Pentose molecules undergo a similar process as glucose to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide through fermentation. In a series of enzymatic reactions, pentose is converted to pyruvate, which is then converted to acetaldehyde and finally to ethanol. During this process, CO2 is released as a byproduct. The net result is the production of two ethanol molecules and two CO2 molecules from one pentose molecule.
It is made on industrial scale by treating pentose with heat and a strong acid (like sulfuric acid). This leads to formation of furane-2-carbaldehyde. The aldehyde can be removed by reaction with zinc oxide @ 400 degrees C, giving unsubstituted furan.
No, oil does not contain pentose properties. Pentose is a monosaccharide that has 5 different carbon atoms and they are usually organized into 2 different groups.
Deoxyribose, the "D" of DNA, is indeed a pentose.
DNA contains the pentose sugar deoxyribose where as RNA contains the pentose sugar ribose.

fructose
Yes

Pentose known as ribose.
neucleosides are pentose sugars without nitrogen base while neucleotides are pentose sugars with nitrogen bases on first carbon atom
Yes, both DNA and RNA contain a pentose sugar. DNA contains deoxyribose, a pentose sugar with one oxygen atom removed, while RNA contains ribose, a pentose sugar with a hydroxyl group on the 2' carbon.
The pentose phosphate pathway occurs in the cytoplasm of cells. It is a metabolic pathway that generates NADPH and produces ribose-5-phosphate, which is important for nucleotide synthesis and other cellular processes.
Pentose sugar has 5 carbon atoms if that's what your asking..!(:
