What does a DNA nucleotide contains?
A DNA nucleotide is made up of a sugar(deoxyribose), a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. The nitrogenous bases in DNA are guanine, cytosine, adenine, and thymine.
A DNA nucleotide is composed of?
A nucleotide is composed of a Nitrogenous base, a phosphate, and a ribose sugar.
Is carbonate a functional group?
Normally carbonate refers to an ion.
What is the difference between gene and nucleotide?
Gene is a collection of DNA which is made up of nucleotides.
What is the difference between ketose and aldose?
An aldose is also called the aldosugar and has a functional group of an aldehyde group. Examples are glucose and glyceraldehyde. While a ketose is also called the ketosugar and has a functional group of of a keto group. Examples are fructose and dihydroxyacetone.
What functional group does lactic acid contain?
carboylic
A DNA nucleotide does not contain?
A nucleotide does not contain an organic acid.A nucleotide is similar to a nucleoside but does not contain a polymerase.
Is OH found in many proteins?
If you mean the hydroxyl functional group (-OH), then only serine and threonine contain it. However, all amino acids contain one or more carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional groups and they all contain OH as part of that functional group, though the carboxylic acid functional group should be considered a single unit.
What does a nucleotide not contain?
A nucleotide does not contain an organic acid.A nucleotide is similar to a nucleoside but does not contain a polymerase.
What organic functional group does terephthalic acid contain?
carboxylic acids
Do nucleosides contain phosphate?
Not entirely, each nucleotide is made of a sugar, a base, and a phosphate group.
In addition to a phosphate group's a DNA nucleotide could contain?
Deoxyribose sugar and thymine
What parts of organic molecules contain oxygen nitrogen and phosphorus?
Functional Group
Which of these functional groups does not contain a carbon oxygen double bond?
Phosphate group.
What functional groups does formaldehyde contain?
Formaldehyde, as its name implies, is an aldehyde. Thus, it contains a carbonyl (CHO) functional group. This group consists of a carbon atom double bonded to an oxygen atom. The carbonyl group is the only functional group contained in formaldehyde.
All fatty acids contain a functional group at one end called the what?
carboxylic
Does alcohol contain nitrogen in its chemical structure?
Not necessarily. Alcohols have -OH as functional group.
