Question

Which carbon is bound to an oh group in deoxyribose?.

Answer 1

3' carbon

Step-by-step explanation:

If you followed the left-hand chain to its very end at the top, you would have a phosphate group attached to the 5' carbon in the deoxyribose ring. If you followed it all the way to the other end, you would have an -OH group attached to the 3' carbon.

Answer 2

In deoxyribose, the OH group is attached to the second carbon (C2) of the pentose sugar.
