The sugar found in the backbone of DNA is the deoxyribose.
Pentose known as deoxyribose.
The backbone of a DNA molecule is made up of sugar-phosphate chains.
Ribose.

Covalent bonds between a sugar molecule (deoxyribose) and a phosphate group make up the backbone of DNA. These are very strong covalent bonds and are broken only with great expenditure of energy--x-rays, for example.
The backbone of a DNA molecule is composed of 1:1 molecular phosphoric acid and deoxyribose, together with the base (A, T, C, or G) is called a nucleotide. While the backbone of a RNA molecule is composed of 1:1 molecular phosphoric acid and ribose.
RNA is Ribonucleic Acid, so I suppose the R stands for "Ribo". This refers to the type of sugar found in the acid's backbone (Ribose).
The nucleotides are linked by peptide bonds - covalent bonds between the carbon in the carboxyl group and the nitrogen in the amino group. The double helix is formed by hydrogen bonds between the hydrogens and oxygens of two strands of nucleotides.
What is composed of only one type of molecule
Table sugar consists of only 1 type of molecule.
carbon atoms forms the backbone of glucose molecule
Sucrose molecules are the ones that make up sugar cubes, sugar granules and powdered sugar.
What components make up the backbone of DNA
phosphoester linkages
A type of sugar, fructose, is one of the components of semen. But table sugar, which is a molecule of fructose plus a molecule of glucose, is not found in the semen.
It is the type with a backbone...wait, that makes it a VERTEBRATE!

Single sugar molecules are also called monosaccharides.
