What chemical is not found in dna nucleotides guanine thymine deoxyribose ribose

The correct answer will be Ribose.

Explanation:

DNA is a large molecule, a type of nucleic acid which store and act as a genetic material of the cell. DNA molecule is formed by the repeating monomer units called nucleotides.

Each nucleotide is made up of three subunits as:

1. 5-C sugar: De-oxyribose formed by the removal of oxygen group from 2' OH group of ribose. Ribose is the sugar molecule present in RNA nucleic acid.

2. Phosphate group (PO₄³⁻)

3. Nitrogenous bases: adenine, guanine, adenine and cytosine.

Thus, ribose is the correct answer.

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
