What are the sub units DNA is made of?
DNA and RNA are polymers composed of nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of a 5-carbon sugar, a nitrogen base, and a phosphate group covalently bonded together. The 5-carbon sugar in a DNA nucleotide is deoxyribose, and the 5-carbon sugar in RNA is ribose.
Sugar on RNA?
The sugar that is part of a nucleotide is a 5-carbon atom sugar in its ring form. It will either be ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA. The "deoxy" simply means that the ribose molecule has lost an oxygen. That missing oxygen happens to be from the second carbon, so the more correct name for deoxyribose is 2-deoxyribose.
Nucleotides contain which sugars?
DNA is composed of deoxy ribose nucleotide (containing deoxy ribose sugars). Deoxy ribose sugar lacks an OH group at the 2' position RNA is composed of ribose nucleotides (containing ribose sugar)
What 5 carbon sugar that makes up RNA and DNA?
In DNA the five-carbon sugar is deoxyribose. In RNA the five-carbon sugar is ribose.
What is the 5 carbon sugar of rna?
ribose is the sugar that is in DNA and it is what connects the base pairs to the backbone of the dna
The five-carbon sugar in DNA nucleotides is called ribose?
No it's called a De-oxyribose suagr, as in DNA there is one less oxygen atom than in an RNA ribose. So for RNA it's ribose, for DNA it's De-oxyribose
What are the sub units DNA is made of?
DNA and RNA are polymers composed of nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of a 5-carbon sugar, a nitrogen base, and a phosphate group covalently bonded together. The 5-carbon sugar in a DNA nucleotide is deoxyribose, and the 5-carbon sugar in RNA is ribose.
What are nucleic acids chains made of?
A phosphate group and a ribose sugar [or deoxyribose sugar] backbone; and a nitrogenous base.

The "deoxy" simply means that the ribose molecule has lost an oxygen. That missing oxygen happens to be from the second carbon, so the more correct name for deoxyribose is 2-deoxyribose.
What is the name of the sugar in mRNA nucleotides?
ribose
What five carbon sugar is found in the RNA?
ribose sugar
Nucleotides contain which sugars?
DNA is composed of deoxy ribose nucleotide (containing deoxy ribose sugars). Deoxy ribose sugar lacks an OH group at the 2' position RNA is composed of ribose nucleotides (containing ribose sugar)
What 5 carbon sugar that makes up RNA and DNA?
In DNA the five-carbon sugar is deoxyribose. In RNA the five-carbon sugar is ribose.
What are the components of thymine?
Thymine, like all nucleotides, is composed of three things: A five carbon sugar (ribose), a phosphate group attached to carbon #5 of the sugar, and the nitrogenous base (thymine) attached to carbon #1 of the sugar.
Nucleotides are made of a sugar called what?
That depends on what nucleic acid you're referring to. In the case of DNA, the sugar will be deoxyribose. In the case of RNA, the sugar will be ribose.
What is the 5 carbon sugar of rna?
ribose is the sugar that is in DNA and it is what connects the base pairs to the backbone of the dna
What is the carbon sugar found in RNA?
Ribose
