In DNA, the four bases are:
adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine.
Each base is attached is attached to a sugar (deoxyribose) to form a nucleoside. Respectively, these are:
adenosine, guanosine, thymidine, and cytidine.
The complete nucleotide consists of the nucleoside attached to a phosphate group. The names of the nucleotides are:
adenylic acid, guanylic acid, thymidylic acid, and cytidylic acid. They can also be named as the radical (adenylate etc.), and all the nucleosides and nucleotides can have "deoxy-" as a prefix to distinguish them from the corresponding forms with ribose (found in RNA).
Another set of names for the nucleotides is adenosine monophosphate (AMP), guanosine monophosphate (GMP) etc. These forms are generally used when describing energy transfer. For example, an additional phosphate added to AMP forms ADP, and a third produces ATP.
In RNA the base thymine does not occur, its place being taken by uracil. The nucleoside is uridine, and the nucleotide uridylic acid.

DNA and RNA are 2 examples of what?
Nucleic acids. Dna = Deoxyribonucleic Acid Rna = Ribonucleic Acid
What is the name of the macromolecules that makes up DNA?
Nucleic acids.
Is nucleic acids the same as amino acids?
No, nucleic acids are molecules that store and transmit genetic information, such as DNA and RNA, while amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are made up of chains of amino acids, not nucleic acids.
Are amino acids a nucleic acid?
No, amino acids are not nucleic acids. Amino acids are organic compounds that combine to form proteins, whereas nucleic acids are biological macromolecules that store genetic information, such as DNA and RNA.
