Verified

Pentoses are the carbohydrates made up of five carbons.

The DNA molecule is made up of a series of molecules termed as nucleotides. Each and every nucleotide is made by the relationship of one pentose termed as deoxyribose with a phosphoric acid and nitrogen-containing base (A, T, C or G). RNA is also made by a series of nucleotides. The RNA nucleotides are made up by relation of one ribose (that is, a pentose) with one phosphoric acid and one nitrogen base (A, U, C or G).

Therefore pentoses are basic components of RNA and DNA.
