Yes, nitrogen is found in nucleic acids in the form of nitrogenous base. Actually, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are linear polymers of nucleotides (a purine or pyrimidine nitrogenous base + a pentose sugar + a phosphate group).

∙ 14y agoYes nucleic acid contains traces of phosphorous.

∙ 13y agoNo.
(Chemically it's POSSIBLE to synthesize a molecule that is simultaneously an amino acid and a phosphate, but normally they're two different types of compounds.)

What part of a nucleotide contains phosphorus?
the phosphate group
What monomer is made up of a base a sugar and a phosphate group?
Nucleotide:)
Is phosphorus magnetic?
phosphorus is not magnetic
Is phosphorus a mixture?
No, phosphorus is an element.
Is phosphorus stable or unstable?
phosphorus is not stable
Is phosphorus part of a nitrogenous base?
As in in a nucleotide?
A nucleotide contains what elements?
A nucleotide contains the elements carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen and phosphorus.
What part of a nucleotide contains phosphorus?
the phosphate group
33P is a radioactive isotope of phosphorus. Can 33P be used to make a radioactive nucleotide?
Yes because it can replace the phosphorus atom in the phosphate group.
Why can 32p be used to make any nucleotide?
All nucleotides have a phosphorus atom that can be replaced with 32P
What is a monomer of nucleic acids?
Nucleotide is the monomer. Nucleotide is the monomer of Nucleic Acids.
Subunit of DNA consisting of a nitrogeneous base a sugar and a phosphate group?
nucleotide = in a nucleic-acid chain, a subunit that consists of a sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base. The subunit in a nucleic acid chain that consists of a sugar a phosphate and a nitrogenous base is a nucleotide.
What 3 things make up and RNA nucleotide?
nitrogenous base (either uracil, adenine, guanine, cytosine), ribose (a 5-carbon sugar), and a phosphate group (phosphorus with 4 oxygens)
What does a nucleotide not contain?
A nucleotide does not contain an organic acid.A nucleotide is similar to a nucleoside but does not contain a polymerase.
What is a U nucleotide?
U is the nucleotide abbreviation of uracil
Which nucleotide will bind A nucleotide to parental DNA?
t
What is of Nucleotides?
Nucleotide is the monomer. Nucleotide is the monomer of Nucleic Acids.
