rewatch
Brief Explanations
DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. Its structure includes a sugar component called deoxyribose, which is a 5-carbon sugar missing an oxygen atom compared to ribose (the sugar in RNA). Sucrose is a disaccharide, glucose is a monosaccharide used for energy, and ribose is in RNA, so these are incorrect.
