Answer:

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule composed of two polynucleotide chains that form a double helix and contain the genetic material necessary for all recognised organisms and viruses to function, grow, and reproduce.

Deoxyribose is the pentose sugar found in DNA, whereas ribose is found in RNA. The difference between the sugars can be explained by the presence of hydroxyl groups on the second carbon of ribose and hydrogen on the second carbon of deoxyribose.

DNA contains the five-carbon sugar deoxyribose. It is the main molecule of the nucleotide.

Deoxyribose is a sugar with five carbons what makes up DNA.
