Vedclass · Answer

(B) The given structure is a pentose sugar (a $5$-carbon sugar) in its cyclic form.By observing the $2^{nd}$ carbon atom $(C_2)$,we can see an $-OH$ group attached to it.In $Deoxyribose$ sugar,the $2^{nd}$ carbon atom has only a hydrogen atom $(-H)$ attached,lacking the oxygen atom.Since the $2^{nd}$ carbon in this figure has an $-OH$ group,it is a $Ribose$ sugar.Therefore,the correct option is $B$.

$(A)$	$(B)$
$(1)$ Starch	$(a)$ Common sugar used in respiration
$(2)$ Glycogen	$(b)$ Sugar present in the structure of $ATP$
$(3)$ Ribose	$(c)$ Sugar stored in liver and muscles
$(4)$ Glucose	$(d)$ Sugar stored as starch granules

The given figure represents the structural formula of which of the following?
