DNA and RNA are nucleic acids. When broken to the smallest unit it is called a nucleotide. The nucleotide of both DNA and RNA is up of a sugar molecule which is attached to a phosphate group and a base. The bases of DNA are thymine, adenine, guanine, and cytosine. In RNA adenine is replace with uracil while it keeps thymine, guanine, and cytosine. In DNA adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine. In RNA uracil pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine.

Does an ATP molecule include adenosine?
Yes, ATP contain adenine. Actually ATP stand for " Adenosine tri phosphate". Yes, ATP contain adenine. Actually ATP stand for " Adenosine tri phosphate".
What are nucleotides made up of?
Nucleotides are molecules consists of three parts-a nitrogen base, a five-carbon sugar and a phosphate group. DNA and RNA are made of the subunits called nucleotides.
Each molecule of DNA is called What?
the whole strand is called a double helix a individual molecule made up of... a sugar a phosphate a base is called necleotide.
What is the transfer of phosphate group to a molecule or compound called?
Phosphorylation.best regards, kelsey
What is considered the building block of DNA?
The building block of DNA is called the nucleotide, which is composed of a nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine), a five-carbon sugar (deoxyribose in DNA), and one to three phosphate groups.
What is an ATP molecule that loses a phosphate called?
adp
When an ADP molecule gains a phosphate it becomes an ATP molecule. This process is called?
This process is called phosphorylation.
What do you say has happened to a molecule that has gained a phosphate group?
When a molecule has gained a phosphate group, it is said to have been "phosphorylated." This process is called phosphorylation.
What is the procces called When an ADP molecule gains a phosphate and becomes an ATP molecule?
phosphorylation
What kind of molecule has sugar and phosphate?
A nucleotide
When an ADP molecule gains a phosphate it becomes an ATP molecule. This process is called .?
phosphorilation
Four what subunits are needed to make a DNA molecule?
The subunits that make up the DNA molecule are DNA nucleotides. Each DNA nucleotide contains a deoxyribose sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogen bases; adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine.
Does an ATP molecule include adenosine?
Yes, ATP contain adenine. Actually ATP stand for " Adenosine tri phosphate". Yes, ATP contain adenine. Actually ATP stand for " Adenosine tri phosphate".
What are 3 units that make up DNA?
The three basic units of DNA are phosphate, deoxyribose and nitrogen base ( adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine).
What is the bond in a nitrogen molecule called?
A nitrogen molecule contains two nitrogen atoms which are bonded to each other through a covalent triple bond.
What is an enzyme that attaches a phosphate group to another molecule is called?
kinase
What are nucleotides made up of?
Nucleotides are molecules consists of three parts-a nitrogen base, a five-carbon sugar and a phosphate group. DNA and RNA are made of the subunits called nucleotides.
