Answer:

Deoxyribose

Ribose, found in RNA, is a "normal" sugar, with one oxygen atom attached to each carbon atom. Deoxyribose, found in DNA, is a modified sugar, lacking one oxygen atom (hence the name "deoxy").

Answer:ribose

Explanation:

So sugar moiety means the sugar molecule in a compound (sugar portion of a complex molecule like nucleic acid). For example when we say that in DNA molecules, the sugar moiety is β-D-2-deoxyribose, it means that the sugar molecule is β-D-2-deoxyribose and describes the position of specific groups on the sugar molecule,ribose, also called D-ribose, five-carbon sugar found in RNA (ribonucleic acid), where it alternates with phosphate groups to form the “backbone” of the RNA polymer and binds to nitrogenous bases.
