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.
