Monosaccharide sugars with five carbon atoms. The most important is ribose.
A simple sugar (monosaccharide molecule) whose backbone structure contains five carbon atoms. There exists many different pentoses. Some examples of pentoses are: ribose, arabinose, and xylose, to mention just a few.
A monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms, having the chemical formula (CH20)5.
A five-carbon sugar found in plums and cherries.
A type of sugar, elevated after ingestion of plums and cherries, and in certain rare diseases.
A simple sugar with five carbon atoms: for example, ribose and xylose.
A monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms, such as ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA.
