Nucleotides, which are the building blocks of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA, contain a 5-carbon sugar. In DNA, this sugar is deoxyribose, while in RNA, it is ribose. Additionally, certain carbohydrates and metabolic intermediates also feature 5-carbon sugars, such as ribulose and xylose. These sugars play essential roles in cellular processes and metabolism.
