What are the two polymers of nucleic acids?
DNA's sugar is deoxyribose, and RNA's sugar is ribose. (DNA = deoxyribose nucleic acid, RNA = ribonucleic acid)
What is the role of sugar phosphate in DNA?
As the phosphate group has a negative repulsion due to the negative charge on oxygen it cause the DNA to bent to the double helix "spiral" structure as we know it - by Matouš Janda
What is the name of the sugar molecules found in DNA?
The sugar that is found in DNA is called Deoxyribose
DNA sugar phosphate backbone?
Yes, sugar deoxyribose and a phosphate group forms the backbone in the DNA.
What is the difference between ribonucleaic and deoxyribonucleaic acid?
No oxygen on the second carbon of the deoxyribose sugar used in DNA. That is the only difference between ribose and deoxyribose sugars. And, of course RNA is single stranded and has catalytic properties DNA does not have. DNA is strictly a storage of information molecule.
What doesn't belong sugar DNA oxygen or water?
Three are molecules with different elements. Oxygen is not.
How does the sugar in the DNA in nucleotide differ from that of an RNA Nucleotide?
The sugar in a DNA nucleotide contains one less oxygen atom.
How does the sugar in a DNA nucleotide differ from that on an RNA nucleotide?
The sugar in a DNA nucleotide contains one less oxygen atom.
The sugar found in DNA?
Deoxyribose sugar. Does not have an oxygen at the 2' carbon.
How does the sugar in a DNA nucleotide different from that of an RNA nucleotides?
The sugar in a DNA nucleotide contains one less oxygen atom.
How does the sugar in a DNA nucleotide differ from that in a RNA nucleotide?
The sugar in a DNA nucleotide contains one less oxygen atom.
How does the sugar in a DNA nucleotide differ from of an RNA nucleotide?
The sugar in a DNA nucleotide contains one less oxygen atom.
Is the sugar in DNA has one additional oxygen in it than in RNA?
No. It's the opposite. The sugar in RNA is ribose, and the sugar in DNA is deoxyribose. The deoxyribose molecule has one less oxygen atom than ribose.
What sugar does RNA have that is different from the sugar in DNA?
The sugar in RNA is ribose, whereas the sugar in DNA is deoxyribose. The only difference between the two is that in deoxyribose, there is an oxygen missing from the 2' carbon (there is a H there instead of an OH). This makes DNA more stable/less reactive than RNA.
The sugar found in DNA is what?
Deoxyribose
Which word does not belong DNA Adenine Uracil and Thymine?
Glucose. Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine are all parts in DNA. Glucose is sugar, which your body uses for energy.
What does Din DNA stand for?
It stands for "deoxy". This is because the sugar in DNA - deoxyribose has a lack of oxygen on the 2' carbon. In RNA however, this oxygen is present and the sugar is termed simply "ribose". I hope this answers your question.
