Hi everyone here, we have a question telling us that Revo C five H 10 05 is a pinto sugar, meaning it has five carbon atoms, it is produced by the body when it metabolized food. If ribose is dissolved in water to make a solution which particles will be present in its solution? So we have our solution of water here and we're adding this ribose to it. However, it is a sugar, and sugars do not dissociate in water, meaning that the only molecule that will be present is our ribose. So that is our final answer. Thank you for watching. Bye.
