Deoxyribose sugars and phosphates make up the backbone of DNA.

phosphates
The backbone of the DNA molecule consists of a sugar, deoxyribose and a phosphate group. --(sugars and phosphates)
sugars and phosphates
Salts of phosphoric acid are called phosphates.
Phosphates are commonly used to make fertilizers for plants, as they provide essential nutrients like phosphorus that promote growth. They are also used in food and beverages as preservatives and acidifiers, and in detergents as water softeners and surfactants. Additionally, phosphates are used in some industrial processes, such as in metal finishing and water treatment.
The are calcium and sodium phosphates.
The charge of phosphates is typically -3.
The groups are 1. Phosphate 2. Deoxyribose sugar 3. Nitrogen base The phosphates and deoxyribose sugars make up the sides of the helix (alternating one after the other) and nitrogen bases are the "rungs" of the helix.
The DNA ladder is made of sugar and phosphates.
Decomposers release phosphorus into the soil from decaying animals and plants. Plants can now take up the phosphates in the soil. When animals eat the plants, they then have phosphates in them and they are released back into the soil through waste and decompostion (decaying).
