Deoxyribose is a five-carbon sugar that is a key component of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Unlike ribose, which is found in RNA (ribonucleic acid), deoxyribose lacks one oxygen atom, giving it the "deoxy" prefix. This structural difference is crucial for the stability and function of DNA compared to RNA. Therefore, any molecule or structure that contains deoxyribose is associated with DNA.
Yes, this is true. DNA is comprised of a backbone of deoxyribose sugars and phosphate groups. The central portion that contains the genetic code is typically made up of four monomers: adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.

Sugar (in the form of deoxyribose in DNA) provides the backbone structure for the DNA molecule, while phosphates help link the deoxyribose sugar molecules together. The energy for DNA replication comes from the breaking of high-energy phosphate bonds in the nucleotide triphosphates that are used to build new DNA strands.
Yes; it contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
