A nucleotide is composed of:
1.) A nitrogenous base (either a purine such as Adenine or Guanine, or a pyrimidine such as a Thymine or Cytosine; Uracil is the nitrogenous base that replaces Thymine in RNA)
2.) A ribose sugar (5 Carbon ring)
3.) A phosphate group
The nitrogenous base is attached to Carbon 1 on the ribose sugar while the phosphate group is attached to Carbon 5 of the same sugar. (That same phosphate group is attached to Carbon 3 of a neighboring sugar when forming a strand.)

What can be found on the side parts of the ladder-like DNA molecule?
The Nucleotides form the ladder rungs.
What is relationship between amino acids and nucleotides?
Nucleotides serve as the building blocks for the construction of nucleic acid. Each nucleotide consists of three parts, a sugar, a phosphate, and one of the nitrogenous lases.
What 3 parts make a nucleotides?
The phosphate group is part of the nucleotide. Pentose sugar and Nitrogenous base is part of the parts that make up the nucleotide.
Whats the 3 parts of a nucelotide?
Like DNA, RNA polymers are make up of chains of nucleotides *. These nucleotides have three parts: 1) a five carbon ribose sugar, 2) a phosphate molecule and 3) one of four nitrogenous bases: adenine, guanine, cytosine or uracil.

What is the function nucleotide?
The nucleotides are composed of three parts: a five-carbon sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base. The nucleotides are the storehouse of genetic information.
Where do nucleotides connect to each other?
Nucleotide molecules connect with each other in phosphate. Nucleotides are composed of three parts: phosphate, deoxyribose and the nitrogen base.
