Hint all of the chemical reactions in a living organism, keeping it alive metabolism
Hint subunits of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), composed of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen-containing base nucleotides
Hint the sugar found in RNA ribose
Hint de remove, reduce (decrease, degrade; deoxy mean remove oxygen) [prefix]
