Nucleoside contains a sugar group and a base whereas phosphorylation of nucleosides by kinases ( addition of phosphate in the sugar's primary alchohol group) produces nucleotides.
nucleoside = sugar +base
nucleotide = sugar + base + phosphate

∙ 15y agoA nucleotide is a sub-category (or monomer) of nucleic acids- which is one of the 4 compounds necessary to life. A nitrogen base on the other hand, is basically an organic compound that "borrows" an electron from the nitrogen atom- forming a bond. This makes it a nitrogen base because it has the "base" formation of the nitrogen atom

∙ 14y agoA nucleoside (with an s) is a nitrogenous base covalently attached to a (ribose or deoxyribose) sugar but does not have a phosphate group attached.
A nucleotide (with a t) consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a
phosphate group.
So, a nucleotide is a "nucleoside mono-phosphate" or a nucleoside with a phosphate group attached.

∙ 13y agoA nucleoside consists of a nitrogenous base and a five-carbon sugar molecule.
A nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar molecule, and a phosphate group (made of one phosphorus atom and four oxygen atoms). This added phosphate group is what allows nucleotides to bond together to form long chains.

What are the differences between nucleoside n nucleotide?
a nucleoside consist of base and sugar but a nucleotide consist of base sugar and phosphate group
What is the difference between nucleotide deletion and nucleotide insertion?
Here's a sample nucleotide sequence:AATUGCIf there was a nucleotide deletion (let's say the "G" gets deleted), the sequence would become:AATUCIf there was a nucleotide addition/insertion (let's say a "G" was added between "T' and "U"), the sequence would become:AATGUGCThe difference is that a deletion makes the DNA shorter and an insertion makes it longer.
What is the mode of action of nucleoside and nucleotide analogs?
Nucleoside and nucleotide analogs inhibit viral replication by incorporating into the viral genome during replication. These analogs lack the necessary functional groups for further elongation of the viral genome, leading to termination of viral replication and inhibition of viral protein synthesis. This disruption ultimately stops the virus from spreading and replicating.
Where do plants get free nucleotides?
The first step of nucleotide synthesis is the formation of a nucleoside (the nitrogenous base joined to a sugar). The sugar involved in the synthesis and structure of a nucleotide may be either ribose or deoxyribose; in the latter case, the prefix 'deoxy' may be added before the name of the nucleoside in all cases except Uracil. A functional group of phosphate is then esterified to the sugar, creating a nucleotide. The phosphate group may consist of one, two, or three phosphates, forming monophosphates, diphosphates, or triphosphates, respectively.
Difference between nucleoside reverse trancriptase inhibitor and non nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor?
They have a different mode of action in inhibiting the transcription of the viral DNA. The NRTI is actually a nucleoside that incorporates into the viral DNA but it does not have a 3-hydroxyl group so it inhibits and halts the continued growth of the viral DNA chain. The NNRTI's bind to the reverse transcriptase and inhibit its movement.
A DNA nucleotide does not contain?
A nucleotide does not contain an organic acid.A nucleotide is similar to a nucleoside but does not contain a polymerase.

The components of a nucleoside are?
The components of a nucleoside are: A pentose sugar(generally ribose or deoxyribose), and a nitrogenous base which may be Adenine/Guanine/Thymine/Cytosine/Uracil. It becomes a nucleotide on addition of a phosphate group.
What nucleotide is present in RNA but not in DNA?
deoxythymidinetriphosphate (dTTP) is the nucleotide in DNA that is not present in RNA. The corresponding base is thymine (T). RNA contains the nucleotide uridinetriphosphate (UTP) instead. In their incorporated forms, the will be in the monophosphate state.Note: Someone previously changed this to read "Deoxythymine is the nucleotide in DNA that is not present in RNA. The corresponding Rna base is Uracil." While they had good intentions, this represents several common errors in molecular Biology. "Deoxythymine" does not exist as a nucleotide (or anything at all for that matter). The nucleoside is called deoxythymidine. If a nucleoside such as deoxythymidine is paired with one or more phosphate groups, it is then a nucleotide.

What is the difference between a variation and a mutation?
mutation is an alteration in the nucleotide sequence of a gene whereas variation is any difference between individuals of a particular species.

What is the difference between 5' and 3' end of a DNA molecule?
The 5' end starts with a phosphate as the nucleotide and the 3' end starts with deoxiribose, or the sugar as the nucleotide.
