Well, basically as you know, DNA is the abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic Acid and is made up of these 4 main components; Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine in a double helix shape with the following base ingredients; sugar. The section that is used to connect the components and bases is made of phosphate. Also, Francis Crick and James Watson discovered DNA. But in 1822 (before Crick and Watson(1950)), an Austrian monk (Gregor Mendel) observed and worked on thousands of pea plants to learn how they inherit their characteristics (colour, size, weight, etc ) from their "parents. A nucleotide is a 3 part unit in which there is a phosphate, sugar and base. Each cell has a rounded nucleus in the center with 46 chromosomes (23 from each parent). Cytosine always pairs with Guanine and Adenine with Thymine.
But, to get to the point, DNA's structure is made of sugar and phosphates.
What else can I help you with?
What makes up the upright part of the DNA ladder?
Deoxyribose
When plants store sugar they store it as a molecule made up of long chain of sugars called?
they are cellulose molecule.starches
What is stored sugar in plants called?
Stored sugar in plants is called starch. It is a polysaccharide that serves as a long-term energy storage molecule in plants.
What two things make up the backbone of a DNA molecule?
DNA consists of two long polymers of simple units called nucleotides, with backbones made of sugars and phosphate groups joined by ester bonds. These two strands run in opposite directions to each other and are therefore anti-parallel. Attached to each sugar is one of four types of molecules called nucleobases (informally, bases). It is the sequence of these four nucleobases along the backbone that encodes information. This information is read using the genetic code, which specifies the sequence of the amino acids within proteins. The code is read by copying stretches of DNA into the related nucleic acid RNA in a process called transcription.
How are nucleotides in a single strand of a DNA molecule linked together?
Nucleotides in a single strand of a DNA molecule are linked together by strong chemical bonds called phosphodiester bonds. These bonds connect the sugar and phosphate groups of adjacent nucleotides, forming a long chain that makes up the DNA molecule.
The long backbones of the DNA molecules are made of alternating sugar and?
The sugar-phosphate backbones are the double helix staircase railings.
What makes up the upright part of the DNA ladder?
Deoxyribose
Are cats backbones as long as the average human?
No.
Which type of compound is found in every DNA molecule?
Nitrogen Containing Base This molecule is called DeoxyriboNucleic Acid. (DNA). Genetic information is found as a sequence of nucleotides (guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine)using the letters G, A, T, and C. Most DNA molecules are double-stranded helices (twisted ladders), consisting of two long repeating simple units called nucleotides plus molecules with backbones made of alternating sugars (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups with the bases G, A, T, C attached to the sugars.

What is stored sugar in plants called?
Stored sugar in plants is called starch. It is a polysaccharide that serves as a long-term energy storage molecule in plants.
Do giraffe have backbone?
Yes they do. A very long one.

Do the rungs of DNA connect to phosphate or sugar?
Sugar. The backbone of the DNA molecule is composed of ribose and phosphate, but the bases which make up the "rungs" of DNA are always connected to the sugar. The phosphate is used to bond the sugars together into long strings.
Do Black racer snakes have backbones?
Yes they do - they have a long spine running the length of their body.
Is sugar an fatty food?
Technically, sugar is not "fatty". A fat molecule is comprised of long hydrocarbon chains connected by a glycerol molecule. Sugar, on the other hand, is comprised of short oxidized hydrocarbon rings that are very easy for the body to digest. The drawbacks of consuming sugar are that since it is so easy to digest the body uses it quickly increasing your energy level, but after it wheres off the energy crash is very inconvenient. Also, sugar sometimes encourages the growth of bad bacteria.
Are the monomers in sugar polymers starch molecules?
No, the monomers in sugar polymers and starches are both simple sugar molecules.There are several classes of carbohydrates, all composed of simple sugar monomers:simple sugar molecules, the monomers themselves.sugar dimers, two monomers.complex sugars, short sugar polymers larger than dimers.starches, long sugar polymers with all monomers in same orientation. easily digested by animals.celluloses, long sugar polymers with monomers alternating in orientation. indigestible by animals. only bacteria & fungi can digest these.
