All marcomolecules (including nucleic acids) have a backbone of carbon.
a chain of sugar and phosphate groups, linked through phosphodiester bonds
nitrogenous bases and phosphates.
Alternating Sugars and Phosphates.
sugars and phosphate groups
No. A nucleic acid is a subunit of a [the] polymer.
Nucleic acid, which contains a pentose (either deoxyribose or ribose), phosphate group, and a nitrogen base (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine/uracil). In addition, there is a covalent bond between the phosphate group and the pentose, and a hydrogen bond between the complementary bases.
Nucleic Acids are polymers of nucleotides with very specific functions in cells.
nucleic acids
DNA's sugar is deoxyribose, and RNA's sugar is ribose. (DNA = deoxyribose nucleic acid, RNA = ribonucleic acid)
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.
No. A nucleic acid is a subunit of a [the] polymer.
A genome is composed of DNA which is a nucleic acid composed of two long polymers called nucleotides with backbones and phosphates joined together with ester bonds.
A nucleic acid is a polymer. Its monomers are glycerol and fatty acids. Hope I helped :)
Yes it does
The phosphate backbone of nucleic acids is an ionizable group which has an acidic pKa. This is the basis of the "acid" in "nucleic acid."
Protein and nucleic acid are both composed of amino acids. Completely wrong! Only proteins are composed of amino acids. They have nothing in common, even their chirality is opposite (proteins are levo while nucleic acids are dextro).
The composition of the nucleic acid-DNA includes polynucleotides which are composed of guanine, adenine, thymine, cytosine, a phosphate group, and deoxyribose (a monosaccharide sugar).
A phosphate group and a ribose sugar [or deoxyribose sugar] backbone; and a nitrogenous base.
RNA stands for Ribo-nucleic acid, or a nucleic acid with the sugar ribose as the base. DNA stand for deoxyribo-nucleic acid, or a nucleic acid with the sugar deoxyribose as the base. Both are composed of bound nucleotides that form a long, double helical strand. The individual nucleotide is made up of a phosphate-sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) backbone, and a nucelotide (either adenine, cytosine, guanine or thymine - note that uracil exists in the place of thymine in RNA molecules). The nucelotides bind the 2 strands together, while the phosphate-sugar backbone binds the multiple nucleotides together.
polymers are a type of carbohydrate, but DNA is a type of nucleic acid and polypeptides are proteins
