Isomers Molecular Structure | MCQs

Explanation

Ribose and Deoxyribose

Are isomers

• Both are monosaccharides (simple sugars) with the same molecular formula: C₅H₁₀O₅.

• Deoxyribose differs from ribose by one less oxygen atom at the 2' carbon (hence "deoxy").

• They are structural isomers (same formula, different structure).
