Both DNA and RNA contain a sugar phosphate group as the backbone to their structure. In DNA the sugar is deoxyribose, where as in RNA it is just ribose.

What is an example of a sugar phosphate backbone?

DNA and RNA molecules have a sugar phosphate backbone. In DNA, the sugar is deoxyribose, while in RNA it is ribose. The phosphate groups link the sugar molecules together forming a linear chain.


Does rna have a phosphate group or a hydroxyl group?

RNA has both a phosphate group in its backbone and a hydroxyl group on the ribose sugar in its structure. The phosphate group connects the nucleotides in RNA's backbone, while the hydroxyl group distinguishes RNA from DNA, which has a hydrogen atom in its place.


What functional group phosphate is found in?

Phosphate is found in the functional group phosphate, which consists of a phosphorus atom bonded to four oxygen atoms. It is commonly involved in energy transfer reactions and as a component of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA.


What three things makes up a nucleic tides?

Nucleotides are the components from which nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are made. Each nucleotide consists of: * a 5 - carbon (pentose) sugar (ribose in RNA, deoxyribose in DNA) * a nitrogen-containing base (adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine and uracil) * a phosphate group In DNA or RNA the phosphate groups link sugar molecules together to make up a polynucleotide.

Which one does not belong in the grouping DNA ribose phospate or deoxyribose?

Ribose does not belong in the grouping as it is a component of RNA, whereas DNA contains deoxyribose. Both DNA and RNA contain phosphate groups in their structure.

Does RNA contain a phosphate group like DNA?

Yes, RNA contains a phosphate group in its backbone, just like DNA. The phosphate group is important for forming the sugar-phosphate backbone that gives RNA its structure and stability.

What contains phosphate DNA or RNA?

Both ! Both are made of nucleotides : phosphate-ribose-nucleic acid. The strands are made by the linkage of phosphates on riboses : P-ribose-P-ribose-P-ribose-P-ribose-etc. The difference between DNA and RNA is that the ribose molecule is dehydrated (DNA) or not (RNA). DNA means DeoxyriboNucleic Acid RNA means RiboNucleic Acid

What is the backbone of DNA and RNA?

The backbone of DNA and RNA is made up of alternating sugar (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA) and phosphate molecules. This sugar-phosphate backbone provides structural support for the nitrogenous bases that make up the genetic information in DNA and RNA.
