Is a nucleotide a phosphate sugar nitrogen base?
In a nucleotide the 5-carbon sugar is bonded to the phosphate group, which is bonded to the nitrogenous base. In a chain of nucleotides (a strand of DNA), the nucleotides are connected by covalent bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide, and the phosphate group of the next nucleotide.
Does RNA contain a phosphate group like DNA?
yes , it contains a phosphate group.
What are three compounds of a DNA nucleotide?
The three components of DNA are: base, sugar, and phosphate. A molecule of DNA consists of two strands. Each strand is a linear series of nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a base (a purine or pyrimidine), a pentose (five-carbon sugar), and a phosphate group. The sugar is between the base and the phosphate. In a strand, nucleotides are combined through their sugars and phosphates, in such a way that alternating sugars and phosphates form a sugar-phosphate backbone. The bases project at right angles to this backbone.
In a single strand of dna the phosphate group binds to what?
It binds to a Deoxyribose sugar. Thus, the structure of DNA is Phosphate-Deoxyribose-Nitrogenous Base.
How are the sugar phosphate backbones of a DNA molecule different?
Sugar phosphate backbones do not include the nucleic acids of the DNA. They are composed of a sugar and a phosphate group bonded to each other.
Do both DNA and RNA nucleotides have a phosphate part?
Yes, they have a phosphate group.
What three basic molecules are nucleotides composed of?
A phosphate group, a sugar and a nitrogenous base
Parts of nucleotides of RNA and DNA?
for DNA it is Nitrogenous base, deoxyribose sugar, and phosphate group. for RND it is Nitrogenous base, ribose sugar, and phosphate group.
What are the parts of a DNA nucleotides?
Nitrogenous base, phosphate group, and RNA.
What are the components of DNA called?
Nucleotides (Nitrogeneous bases, deoxyribose, phosphate group)
What compounds are the building blocks of DNA macro-molecules?
Nucleotides are the monomer units that make up a DNA molecule. DNA nucleotides are composed of a deoxyribose sugar, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group.
What compounds are the building of DNA macromolecule?
Nucleotides are the monomer units that make up a DNA molecule. DNA nucleotides are composed of a deoxyribose sugar, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group.
Is a nucleotide a phosphate sugar nitrogen base?
In a nucleotide the 5-carbon sugar is bonded to the phosphate group, which is bonded to the nitrogenous base. In a chain of nucleotides (a strand of DNA), the nucleotides are connected by covalent bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide, and the phosphate group of the next nucleotide.
What are the building blocks of (monomers)of DNA?
The monomers of DNA are nucleotides, which consist of the sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.
What are nucleotides made up of?
Nucleotides are molecules consists of three parts-a nitrogen base, a five-carbon sugar and a phosphate group. DNA and RNA are made of the subunits called nucleotides.
Are the monomers in DNA nucleotides?
DNA nucleotides are composed of the sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases: adenine(A), thymine(T), guanine(G), cytosine(C).
What three combinations of substances do individual nucleotides of DNA contain?
A purine or pyrimidine base;A sugar;A phosphate group.
