Recall that the backbone of DNA is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups.
Identify the sugar component in DNA, which is a five-carbon sugar (a pentose sugar).
Understand that DNA contains a sugar called deoxyribose, which differs from ribose by lacking one oxygen atom on the 2' carbon.
Recognize that glucose and fructose are six-carbon sugars (hexoses) and are not part of the DNA backbone.
Conclude that the sugar found in the DNA backbone is deoxyribose.
