The backbone of a nucleic acid is made up of alternating sugar and phosphate molecules bonded together to these are attached the molecule making the rungs of the double helix ladder the
Nucleotides.

Both DNA and RNA are macromolecules called nucleic acid's
The general form of nucleic acid is called deoxyribose nucleic acid or DNA.
The main nucleic acid in a cell is DNA - deoxyribonucleic acid. RNA - ribonucleic acid - can also be present. RNA can be mRNA, tRNA or rRNA.
The two main substances that make up a virus are nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) and protein. When these substances are broken into smaller fragments, the nucleic acid fragments are called nucleotides, and the protein fragments are called amino acids.
Nucleic acid is one of the 3 parts of nucleotides and can also be called DNA.
The main nucleic acid in a cell is DNA - deoxyribonucleic acid. RNA - ribonucleic acid - can also be present. RNA can be mRNA, tRNA or rRNA.
A viral nucleic acid coated with a protein is called a capsid. The capsid helps protect the nucleic acid and aids in the virus's ability to infect a host cell.
A nucleic acid.
Nucleic acids are polymers. They are made of monomers Nucleotides.
RNA is a polymer that is made up of a sugar called ribose. Ribose is a simple sugar known as pentose monosaccharide.
