Ribose and ribulose both are pentose sugars that have chemical formula C5H10O5.
The difference however lies in the spatial arrangement of molecules in the space. While Ribose is an aldo-pentose sugar that has got an aldehyde group, Ribulose is Keto-pentose sugar that has got ketone group.

Is ribulose a pentose sugar?
Ribulose, C5H10O5 (where the numbers should be subscripts) is a ketopentose.
How does ATP compare with the nucleic acids in DNA and RNA?
Do you mean the difference between ATP and ADP? Atp (adenosine triphosphate) is adenine, ribose and 3 phosphates where is Adp (adenosine diphosphate) is adenine, ribose and 2 phosphates. Its in the name what the difference is :)
What is the difference between ribonucleaic and deoxyribonucleaic acid?
No oxygen on the second carbon of the deoxyribose sugar used in DNA. That is the only difference between ribose and deoxyribose sugars. And, of course RNA is single stranded and has catalytic properties DNA does not have. DNA is strictly a storage of information molecule.
Is ribose part of adenosine diphosphate?
Yes, as Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) is the product of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). The only difference between the two is ADP has on less phosphate group. Both ADP and ATP are composed of one pentose sugar ribose, 2 or 3 phosphate groups, and adenine.
What is the sugar on RNA?
The sugar of RNA is ribosewhile the sugar of DNA is deoxyribose.
What hydrocarbons has five carbons?
Thousands if not millions of compounds have six carbon atoms.
What is an example of ribose?
Pentose sugars are sugars that contain 5 carbon atoms. Two most common examples are ribose (RNA component) and deoxyribose (DNA component)Also arabinos,xyluse,ribulose
What is the difference between cytidine in DNA and cytidine in RNA?
Cytidine is composed of one molecule each of cytosine and ribose. The cytosine molecule is the same between DNA and RNA, the difference is in the sugar backbone. In RNA it is ribose while in DNA it is deoxyribose.
What contains phosphate DNA or RNA?
Both ! Both are made of nucleotides : phosphate-ribose-nucleic acid. The strands are made by the linkage of phosphates on riboses : P-ribose-P-ribose-P-ribose-P-ribose-etc. The difference between DNA and RNA is that the ribose molecule is dehydrated (DNA) or not (RNA). DNA means DeoxyriboNucleic Acid RNA means RiboNucleic Acid
What is the main difference between DNA and RNA with suger?
DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose and RNA contains the sugar ribose. Deoxyribose sugar has one less oxygen atom than ribose.
What are examples of pentoses?
Pentose sugars are sugars that contain 5 carbon atoms. Two most common examples are ribose (RNA component) and deoxyribose (DNA component)Also arabinos,xyluse,ribulose
What is the function of ribulose biphosphate carboxylase?
what is the function of ribulose
Ribulose is composed of a?
Ribulose is composed of a 5 carbon chain.
What sugar is found in DNA and RNA?
In DNA, the sugar found is 2-deoxyribose. In RNA, the sugar found is ribose. Both are 5-carbon sugars. The only difference between them is that the first mentioned above has one oxygen atom less than ribose sugar, at the position 2'.
What is the difference between ribose sugars and other sugars?
A ribose is a 5-carbon sugar found in RNA, or ribonucleic acid. Compared to sugars such as glucose, fructose, and galactose, a ribose contains one less carbon. It also contains one more oxygen molecule than deoxyribose, which is another 5-carbon sugar that is found in DNA.
Is ribulose a pentose sugar?
Ribulose, C5H10O5 (where the numbers should be subscripts) is a ketopentose.
Explain how RNA differs from DNA biochemically?
RNA is a single stranded molecule while DNA is a double stranded molecule. RNA contains the sugar ribose while DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose. The difference between ribose and deoxyribose is ribose has one more -OH group than deoxyribose, which has -H attached to the second carbon in the ring.
