Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option B: Ribose sugar
Concept: Pentose sugars follow the general monosaccharide empirical formula Cn(H2O)n.

Solution: Ribose sugar has the molecular formula C₅H₁₀O₅. (Deoxyribose lacks one oxygen atom, giving it the formula C₅H₁₀O₄).

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
