A nucleotide consists of three components: 1. A 5-carbon sugar (deoxyribose for DNA or ribose for RNA) 2. A nitrogenous base (adenine, cytosine guanine and thymine (or uracil in RNA) 3. A phosphate group

∙ 7y agoDNA nucleotides consist of three parts:
1.
A five-carbon sugar (hence a pentose) called deoxyribose.
Deoxyribose, which has a hydrogen atom attached to its #2 carbon atom (designated 2')
Deoxyribose-containing nucleotides, the deoxyribonucleotides, are the monomers of DNA.
2.
A nitrogen-containing ring structure called a base. The base is attached to the 1' carbon atom of the deoxyribose. In DNA, four different bases are found:
two purines, called adenine (A) and guanine (G)
two pyrimidines, called thymine (T) and cytosine (C)
3.Phosphate attached to the 5' carbon atom of the deoxyribose.

∙ 15y agoA DNA nucleotide is made up of three components:
# Pentose sugar: In case of DNA, the pentose sugar is deoxyribose. The carbon atoms of deoxyribose are numbered as 1' to 5'. # Phosphate group: It is attached to one molecule of deoxyribose at 3' carbon and consecutive carbon atom at 5' end. Thus, the pentose sugar and phosphate group together form the sugar phosphate backbone. # Nitrogen base: It is of two types - purines and pyrimidines. The purines are Adenine and Guanine while the pyrimidines in case of DNA are Thiamine and Cytosine. They are attached to the 2' carbon.

Are nucleotides pieces that form the dna molecule?
DNA is composed of nucleotides. DNA is essentially a polymer made up of nucleotide monomers
Three thing make the structure of a DNA molecule?
what 3 things make the structure of a DNA molecule
Which molecule of the Dna upright is the nucleotide rung attached to?
The nucleotide 'rung' covalently attaches [chemically bonds] to the Ribose sugar moiety of the Dna's phosphate-sugar backbone.
What type of biomolecule is DNA made from?
DNA is a very large molecule, made up of smaller units called nucleotides that are strung together in a row, making a DNA molecule thousands of times longer than it is wide. Each nucleotide has three parts: a sugar molecule, a phosphate molecule, and a structure called a nitrogenous base. The nitrogenous base is the part of the nucleotide that carries genetic information, so the words "nucleotide" and "base" are often used interchangeably. The bases found in DNA come in four varieties: adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine-often abbreviated as A, C, G, and T, the letters of the genetic alphabet.
What makes up the side of the ''ladder'' of a DNA molecule?
The sides of the DNA latter consist of the sugar deoxyribose and phosphates. The bond between the latter and the nitrogen bases together is known a a nucleotide. Nucleotides are molecules that make up the structure of DNA and RNA.
What is the basic of a DNA molecule?
Nucleotide
What part of the nucleotide make up the backbone of the DNA molecule?
dna strands

What kind of molecule must be labeled to make radioactively labeled DNA?
Radioactive nucleotide
