Structure of DNA molecules?
DNA is made up of many nucleotides. These are a sugar-phosphate backbone and nitrogenous bases. The two strands form a double helix (a spiral) with the nitrogenous bases in the middle, forming H-bonds with each other.
What is the name and primary function of the other nucleic acid found in cells?
nucleic acids are DNA and RNA. (mostly known as DNA) its primary function is to contain genetic information about the living organism which carries it. Helping it, is its monomer. (a monomer is a single cell in which helps its host, in this case, the host is Nucleic Acids.) Nucleic Acids monomer is nucleotide. Nucleotide is the other part of the Nucleic Acids and like i said, helps it contain its genetic information, or DNA.
How is each nucleotide different from other?
It has different bases.
What is made up of nucleotides?
A nucleotide is a monomer of a nucleic acid consisting of 3 parts. These 3 parts include a pentose sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. The nitrogenous bases include purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (cytosine and thymine).Sugar, phosphate group, and a nitrogen base(base pair)There are also some exotic, artificial nucleotides with different types of sugars with different numbers of carbon atoms and/or different functional groups.There are nitrogenous bases other than A (adenine), T (thymine), C (cytosine) and G (guanine), most notably U (uracil) which is present in RNA instead of T.Base pairs:A-TC-G
What in DNA only the what varies from one nucleotide to another?
Base
What is the nucleotide in the DNA made out of?
Each nucleotide consists of a sugar (deoxyribose) bound on one side to a phosphate group and bound on the other side to a nitrogenous base.

What is the difference between a nucleoside and a nucleotide?
Nucleoside contains a sugar group and a base whereas phosphorylation of nucleosides by kinases ( addition of phosphate in the sugar's primary alchohol group) produces nucleotides.nucleoside = sugar +basenucleotide = sugar + base + phosphate

What type of bonds join the sub units of the nucleic acids?
Phosphodiester bonds join the subunits of nucleic acids, which are nucleotides. These bonds are formed between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the sugar molecule of another nucleotide in the DNA or RNA strand.
Which element is not a part of a nitrogenouse base?
phosphorus
Who made nucleotide?
Asking this question is like asking who created life and all matter. We do not know that for sure but what we know is that elements react and combine with each other to form compounds. These compounds can combine with other compounds to create monomers, polymers etc., This is exactly how a nucleotide was made.A pentose sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base combined to form a nucleotide.There isn't anyone who "made" nucleotide as nucleotide is not an invention by a man.
Where are the nucleotides molecules connected from each other?
Nucleotide molecules are connected to each other through phosphodiester bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of another nucleotide. These bonds form the sugar-phosphate backbone of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. The sequence of nucleotides in the backbone encodes genetic information.
How is each nucleotide different from other?
It has different bases.
What are the building blocks of DNA and RNA?
NucleotidesNucleotides are the monomers, building blocks, of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). Each nucleotide includes three components: a phosphate, a sugar, and a nitrogenous base. The phosphate is bonded to the sugar through phosphodiester bonds and makes up the backbone of the molecule. The nitrogenous bases form the "rungs" of the ladder and are connected through hydrogen bonds. The phosphate is the same in DNA and RNA, but the sugar can be a ribose (for RNA) or a deoxyribose (for DNA). The latter is a ribose without "de-" one oxygen "-oxy-". There are four available nitrogenous bases in a DNA's nucleotides: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. RNA nucleotides feature the same bases with the exception of uracil, which replaces thymine. See related links and questions below.
What are the subunits of DNA?
DNA and RNA are polymers. Collectively, DNA and RNA are called nucleic acids. The subunits of nucleic acids are called nucleotides. Nucleotide monomers form nucleic acid polymers. A nucleotide has 3 parts to it: a phosphate group, a sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA), and a base (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine or Uracil - Thymine is found only in DNA and Uracil is found only in RNA, but the other 3 bases may be found in either.) Another name for it would be nitrogenous base.
Describe the components of dna?
There are 3 main chemical components of DNA. They are phosphate, a sugar called deoxyribose and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine or guanine). These three components form a nucleotide. Deoxyribose contains 5 carbon atoms (1', 2', 3', 4', 5') in its structure. Within the nucleotide, the phosphate is bonded to the 5' carbon atom of deoxyribose and the nitrogenous base is bonded to the 1' carbon atom. These bonds are covalent. Each nucleotide is bonded to the next by a bond between the 3' carbon atom of the deoxyribose sugar of one nucleotide to the phosphate of the next. The nitrogenous base varies from one nucleotide to another. In DNA, two long chains of nucleotides are joined together in a double helix structure, often described as a twisted ladder. The two chains are held together by hydrogen bonding between the nitrogenous bases. Adenine on one side is always bonded to thymine on the other, and vice-verse, and the same goes for cytosine and guanine.
