What is the difference between ribose and deoxyribose?

Video transcript

Everyone today with the following problem which of the following statements about Russ and the arios are correct, select all that apply. So first, we will draw out the structures of these two molecules in which they are Pintos sugars. So we will first draw the structure of ribose and then we have the structure of deoxy rivals. So let's go through each of these statements. Statement. One says that Ribo contains one more oxygen atom than deoxyribose. And this is actually correct as we see that on carbon two, ribose has an additional hydroxyl group which contains an additional oxygen atom. Whereas deoxyribose does not have a hydroxy group on carbon two. But instead a hydrogen atom statement two says Ris is found in RN A while the oxy Robbo is found in DNA. Well, this is also correct statement three says that both ribose and Di Robo are six carbon sugars and this is incorrect as they are five carbon sugars or pintos. And the statement four says that Riels has a hydroxy group at the second carbon position while the oxy Rebus has a hydro hydrogen atom at this position. And this is also going to be correct. So we can conclude that statements 12 and four are correct about ribose and deoxyribose overall. I hope this helped and until next time.
