Which sugar is found in nucleic acid?
Nucleic acid types differ in the structure of the sugar in their nucleotides- DNA contains 2 deoxyribose while the RNA contains ribose. The Nucleobases found in the two nucleic acid types are different: adenine, cytosine and guanine are found in both RNA and DNA.
The nucleic acid core of a virus contains?
ribose
Why is nitrogen there in and nucleic acid?
because nucleotides contains nitrogen
What macromolecules are made of nucleotides?
RNA and DNA.
What are the three subunits of nucleic acid?
The three subunits of nucleic acid are a phosphate group, a sugar molecule (such as ribose or deoxyribose), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, or uracil).
What type of sugar does RNA and DNA contain?
Nucleic Acids store and transmit hereditary, or genetic,information. There are two types of nucleic acids which are Ribonucleic acid (RNA) and Deoxyribonuleic acid (DNA). RNA contains the sugar ribose and DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose.
Is DNA or RNA polymers?
Nucleic acid, which contains a pentose (either deoxyribose or ribose), phosphate group, and a nitrogen base (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine/uracil). In addition, there is a covalent bond between the phosphate group and the pentose, and a hydrogen bond between the complementary bases.
What nucleic acids are involved in transcription?
Deoxyribose nucleic acid, transcribed into, Ribose nucleic acid.
What is the polymer for a nucleic acid?
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are both polymers, with repeating units (monomers) of nucleotides, which are made up of: - a nitrogenous base - a 5-carbon sugar (deoxyribose or ribose) - a phosphate group
What is simplest unit of a nucleic acid?
The simplest unit of Nucleic Acid is dependent on the variable you are inferring, such as deoxyribose or nucleotides.
Subunits of nucleic acids?
The monomers of nucleic acid polymers are the nucleotides. Each is composed of a sugar-phosphate backbone and one of four bases as a side group. In RNA the sugar is ribose, in DNA the sugar is deoxyribose.
What is the subunit structure of nucleic acid?
The subunit structure of nucleic acid consists of nucleotides, which are composed of a sugar molecule (ribose or deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, or uracil). These nucleotide monomers join together via phosphodiester bonds to form strands of nucleic acid, such as DNA or RNA.
