Study Finds Space Sugar Ribose Helped Build Life on Earth

A new study reveals that ribose, a sugar found in meteorites from outer space, may have played a crucial role in the origin of life on Earth. The research shows that ribose helped keep boron dissolved, which is essential for forming stable molecules necessary for life. This discovery sheds light on how extraterrestrial sugars could have contributed to early biochemical processes on our planet.
