What is the difference between ribose and deoxyribose

Ribose is a pentose sugar and is found in DNA. Ribose binds a phosphate at the 3′ position

Ribose is a 5-carbon simple sugar. The chemical formula of this sugar molecule is H−(C=O)−(CHOH)4−H. This is the prime component of ribonucleic acid strands. It forms ribonucleotides.

Deoxyribose is a hexose sugar and is found in RNA. Deoxyribose binds a phosphate at the 2′ position. deoxyribose has one less oxygen molecule than ribose.

Deoxyribose, on the other hand, is a monosaccharide too. It also has the same 5-carbon formula as that of ribose sugar but loses an oxygen atom. Its chemical formula is H−(C=O)−(CH2)−(CHOH)3−H
