Deoxyribonucleic acid
DNA - Deoxyribonucleic acid
The components of nucleic acids are nucleotides, which contain a five-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.
Proteins are made of amino acids. Nucleic acids are made of a sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA), a phosphate group and nitrogen bases [thymine (or uracil in RNA), cytosine, guanine, and adenine].
No - they are nucleic acids. Carbohydrates are sugars, such as glucose. They are made up of C, H and O. DNA and RNA contain a sugar, ribose (or deoxyribose), but also contain phosphate and a nitrogenous base.
Nucleotides-- made of Deoxyribose (sugar) Phosphate and 1 Nitrogenous base (Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine)
Nucleic acids are a braod category of compounds. Chemically at least, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) contains a adenine ring, a ribose sugar and 3 phosphate molecules. A nucleic acid is composed of a nitrogenous base (purine or pyrimidine), a pentose sugar and a phosphate group. Since adenine, which is itself a purine, can be found in some nucleic acids, the similarities would be the possibility of both containing adenine, both contain a sugar molecule and both contain phosphate molecules. The numbers they each contain would be the difference.
No. Nucleic acids are formed by a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), a phosphate group and nitrogen base (purines and pyrimidines).
No, although there is a sugar (pentose) in nucleic acids.
Two kinds of nucleic acids are:-RNA/ Ribonucleic Acid-DNA/ Deoxyribonucleic AcidAs there names, RNA contain the sugar ribose and DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose
DNA's sugar is deoxyribose, and RNA's sugar is ribose. (DNA = deoxyribose nucleic acid, RNA = ribonucleic acid)
no. nucleic acids have a ribose as its sugar. A ribose is a five carbon sugar. Lactose is a 6 carbon sugar and from this, we can say that it is not a ribose. Nucleic acids contain phosphorus but not potassium.
- Presence of Pyrimidine and Purine - Nucleic acids store and transmit genetic information that makes them different from other macromolecules. - Nucleic acids contain ribose and deoxyribose sugar connected with bases. - Nucleotides are joined by covalent bonds called Phosphodiester.
The components of nucleic acids are nucleotides, which contain a five-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.
Proteins are made of amino acids. Nucleic acids are made of a sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA), a phosphate group and nitrogen bases [thymine (or uracil in RNA), cytosine, guanine, and adenine].
The monomers of nucleic acid polymers are the nucleotides. Each is composed of a sugar-phosphate backbone and one of four bases as a side group. In RNA the sugar is ribose, in DNA the sugar is deoxyribose.
Both DNA and RNA are polymers of Nucleic Acids
No - they are nucleic acids. Carbohydrates are sugars, such as glucose. They are made up of C, H and O. DNA and RNA contain a sugar, ribose (or deoxyribose), but also contain phosphate and a nitrogenous base.
The individual nucleotides of nucleic acids are composed of a five-carbon sugar, either ribose or deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.
