What sugar it's used in the DNA ladder?

Sugar used in the DNA ladder is a five carbon sugar known as deoxyribose.


The structure of a DNA molecule resembles a shape of a twisted ladder. in this model which part of the ladder is made of sugars and phosphates?

the rails


Importance is the deoxyribose molecule in the structure of DNA?

Deoxyribose is a key component of the DNA molecule as it forms the "backbone" of the DNA strand. It provides stability and structure to the DNA molecule by linking the individual nucleotides together. Without deoxyribose, DNA could not exist in its double helix structure and carry out its functions in storing genetic information.


What is the molecule smallest part of?

A molecule is the smallest part of a chemical compound.


Whats the name of the segments of a DNA molecule that are each made up of many rungs?

DNA is an example of a macromolecule, i.e. a large molecule with a special shape, which is built up from many smaller parts called sub-units .If you could magnify part of a nucleus, you would see the DNA molecule looking like a twisted rope ladder - a double helix. The two strands forming the sides of the ladder give it a strong yet flexible structure, which does not vary along its length. Stretched between these are the "rungs" of the ladder, the parts of the DNA molecule which vary, and so the differences carry genetic information. These parts are made up of sections called bases, which fit together in pairs. Single section of DNA The 4 bases (so called because on their own they react with acids) are also usually known by their initials, as shown alongside: A (adenine), paired with T (thymine) and C (cytosine) paired with G (guanine).

The structure of a DNA molecule resembles the shape of a twisted ladder. In this model which part of the ladder is made of sugars and phosphates?

Each strand is made up of a chain of nucleotides.The two strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between adenine and thymine and between guanine and cytosine. The hydrogen bonds of DNA are analogous to the rungs of a twisted ladder. The sugar-phosphate backbones of the double helix are analogous to the sides of a twisted ladder.


What part of the DNA forms the outside ladder structures?

on the outside of the DNA strand is the phosphate and sugar, only the sugar are connected across to the other half with the A&T and C&G

Why is a ladder a lever?

A ladder can be considered a lever because it allows you to lift or move objects to a higher position, similar to how a lever works by amplifying force. When you apply force to one end of a ladder, it pivots around a fixed point (the ground), enabling you to raise objects at the other end using less effort.
