Ribo-nucleotides [that make up Ribo Nucleic Acid] comprise ribose sugars, phosphate groups for chain bonding, and nitrogenous bases for information content and exchange.

2' deoxy-ribose sugar moieties comprise Deoxy-ribose Nucleic Acid.

If a nucleoside is different from a nucleotide I haven't been able to find it.

Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides. Each nucleotide is composed of a sugar + a phosphate + a nitrogen base. The nitrogenous bases are Adenine which pairs with Thymine and Cytosine which pairs with Guanine. Nucleotide polymers, (chains of nucleotides) are made up of nucleotides linked to the -OH group on the 3' carbon of one nucleotide and the phosphate on the 5' of the following nucleotide. The two chains in a double helix run antiparallel to one another.

What is a large molecule made of nucleotides?

A large molecule made of nucleotides is called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or RNA (ribonucleic acid). These nucleic acids contain long chains of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of genetic information in living organisms.


What organic substance is made up of nucleotides?

DNA and RNA are organic substances that are composed of nucleotides. A nucleotide contains a sugar, a phosphate group, and an organic base.


Is RNA made up of nucleotides?

Yes, RNA is composed of nucleotides. Each RNA nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule (ribose), a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous bases (adenine, cytosine, guanine, or uracil). These nucleotides are connected together through phosphodiester bonds to form an RNA strand.


DNA is made of repeating units or monomers called?

nucleotides. A nucleotide consists of a phosphate group, a sugar molecule (deoxyribose in DNA), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine). These nucleotides link together in a specific sequence to form the double helix structure of DNA.


What is the number of nucleotides found in a protein?

None! The reason is: there are no nucleotides in proteins. Nucleotides are the monomers (building blocks) of nucleic acids. The monomers of proteins are amino acids. The relationship between nucleotides and amino acids is the genetic code. In brief, the genetic code works like this: within a region of DNA that codes for a polypeptide chain (from which a protein will be made) a group of three adjacent nucleotides code for one amino acid.
