What is the backbone of a DNA Molecule?
The DNA backbone is also called the sugar-phosphate backbone - the deoxyribose sugars (with, among other elements, 5 carbon atoms) and phosphates (PO4--) conjoin together in a [very strong due to the electronegativity of the Oxygens] chain.Sugars and PhosphatesA sugar (deoxyribose, a sugar with, among other elements, 5 carbon atoms) and phosphates to bond them together.
What is the name of a sugar found in DNA but not in RNA?
DNA has the deoxyribose sugar, while RNA has the ribose sugar.
What is the 5-carbon sugar found in a nucleotide?
it is deoxyribose. there is little difference between ribose and deoxyribose though.
Does ATP contain deoxyribose?
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) does not contain Cytosine within its molecular structure. However, Cytosine in the form of Cytidine Triphosphate (CTP) may transfer a phosphate group to convert Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) to Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).
Chemical composition of chromosomes?
The main component of chromosomes is DNA (the substance that contains genetic information). DNA is made up of sugar (deoxyribose), phosphorus and nitrogen. The part that is composed primarily of nitrogen is the one that actually contains one's genetic information.

Does DNA ribose contain sugar?
no, DNA contains deoxyribose, and RNA contains ribose
Which macromolecule contains deoxyribose?
DNA
What does RNA contains what instead of deoxyribose?
Ribose
What contains phosphorus and oxygen?
phosphates, phosphites
What does sugar have to do with DNA?
DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose.
How many sugars does DNA have?
DNA contains deoxyribose sugar and it helps in transferring genes .
How do you test for nitrates and phosphates in water?
For phosphates you can use molybdate solution but be careful it contains sulfuric acid.
What is the main difference between DNA and RNA with suger?
DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose and RNA contains the sugar ribose. Deoxyribose sugar has one less oxygen atom than ribose.
What is the name of a sugar found in DNA but not in RNA?
DNA has the deoxyribose sugar, while RNA has the ribose sugar.
What is a sentence for DNA?
Everybody has a DNA.
What is the 5-carbon sugar found in a nucleotide?
it is deoxyribose. there is little difference between ribose and deoxyribose though.
