The molecular hardware of the cell — the tools for most biological functions— consists of proteins . For example , the oxygen carrier in the blood is the protein hemoglobin , not the DNA that specifies its structure .

The only difference between these two sugars is that deoxyribose lacks an oxygen atom on the second carbon in the ring ; hence its name . Because the atoms in both the nitrogenous base and the sugar are numbered , the sugar atoms have a ...
