the sugar found in RNA

Part of ribosomes.

Makes proteins 

Clamps onto mRNA → uses its information to assemble amino acids in the correct order.

the sugar found in DNA

(“deoxy” referring to the fact that deoxyribose has one less oxygen atom than ribose sugar)

 Transfers each amino acid to the ribosomes as specified by coded messages in mRNA.
