Deoxyribose is an example of a sugar, specifically a pentose monosaccharide. It is a key component of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), where it forms the backbone of the DNA molecule alongside phosphate groups. Unlike ribose, which is found in RNA, deoxyribose lacks one oxygen atom, which is what differentiates the two sugars.
