The sugar in DNA is deoxyribose while the bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. From Wordnik.com. [Physiological chemicals] Reference
Therefore by both criteria it appeared certain that the 14C reached the deoxyribose directly from the cytidine. From Wordnik.com. [Irwin Rose - Autobiography] Reference
The sugar can be of two different kinds, one of which, «ribose», contains one more oxygen atom than the other, «deoxyribose». From Wordnik.com. [Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1959 - Presentation Speech] Reference
Nucleotides consist of a sugar molecule, like ribose or deoxyribose, joined to a base at one end and a phosphate group at the other. From Wordnik.com. [Archive 2009-06-01] Reference
For example, deoxyribose is part of DNA (the genetic material of chromosomes) and ribose is part of RNA (which regulates protein synthesis). From Wordnik.com. [Physiological chemicals] Reference
Nucleosides are then formed by the addition of sugar moieties (deoxyribose or ribose) and subsequently converted into nucleotides by the addition of phosphate (mono -, di - and triphosphate). From Wordnik.com. [Physiology or Medicine 1988 - Press Release] Reference
The sugar backbone of RNA is also composed of ribose (DNA contains deoxyribose). From Wordnik.com. [Conservapedia - Recent changes [en]] Reference
The sides of the ladder are composed of alternating sugars (deoxyribose) and phosphates. From Wordnik.com. [Recently Uploaded Slideshows] Reference
Each nucleotide contains one base, one phosphate molecule and the sugar molecule deoxyribose. From Wordnik.com. [The Brussels Journal - The Voice of Conservatism in Europe] Reference
The DNA backbone is assembled from repeating deoxyribose sugar units that are linked through phosphate groups. From Wordnik.com. [WN.com - Articles related to Lahore attack, a sinister attempt to destabilise Pak: Hillary Clinton] Reference

RNA is very similar to DNA, but differs in a few important structural details: in the cell, RNA is usually single-stranded, while DNA is usually double-stranded; RNA nucleotides contain ribose while DNA contains deoxyribose (a type of ribose that lacks one oxygen atom); and RNA has the base uracil rather than thymine that is present in DNA.
