Answer 2

Answer:deoxyribose

Explanation: From the information provided, (though the diagram is not shown), the structure is a DNA double helix. A DNA contains deoxyribose sugar thus the name deoxyribonucleic acid. RNAs contains ribose sugar thus the name ribonucleic acid. A deoxyribose is a pentose (a 5- carbon sugar) which lacks one oxygen atom at position two of its carbon skeleton, hence the name deoxy - ribose. It's usually written chemically as 2- deoxyribose.
