A base, a sugar, and a phosphate.
I didn't know either but I just looked it up (:

For a better understanding of these nucleotide shenanigans, here's some extra info which may help in the long-run:
[[Consider their composition: they are made up of a phosphate group, sugar (deoxyribose) and a nitrogenous base molecule--each nucleotide is a structural unit in building up either of these strands (RNA or DNA).
For a DNA nucleotide, the nitrogenous bases A, T, G and C are available; these nucleotides join in A-T and G-C pairs (order doesn't matter). For RNA nucleotides, A, U, G and C are used, where U has replaced T; these nucleotides join in A-U and G-C pairs (order doesn't matter). The names of these nitrogenous bases are adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine and uracil.]]
Hope this helped!

What building blocks contain nitrogen carbon hydrogen phosphorus and oxygen?
Nucleotides which make up DNA contain carbon, hydrogen, phosphorus and oxygen.
What are fundamental building blocks of all matter?
The building blocks of all matter are called atoms. The breakdown of the four main organic molecules are as follows (follow the format substance : building block) Lipids: Fatty Acids Carbohydrates: Monosaccharides Nucleic Acids: Nucleotides Proteins: Amino Acids
Nucleotides are to nucleic acids as amino acids are to?
An amino acid is the monomer used to create proteins. Nucleotides are the basic unit used to make nucleic acids (such as DNA). Therefore an amino acid is to a protein as a nucleotide is to a nucleic acid.
What are the building blocks of all compounds?
The building blocks of all compounds are atoms.
What is the building blocks of a substance called?
the building blocks of substances are called what atoms or molecules?
What are the building blocks of DNA?
Nucleotides
What are the building blocks of RNA?
Nucleotides.
What are building blocks of DNA are the?
Nucleotides
Building blocks of genes?
nucleotides
what are the building blocks of nucleic acids?
The building blocks (called monomers) of nucleic acids are nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar, and a phosphate group.
What is the building blocks of cells control your specific characteristics?
nucleotides
Nucleotides are the building blocks of which type of molecule?
DNA and RNA
Which nucleotides build proteins?
No, nucleotides ar e the building blocks for nucleic acids such as DNA or RNA. The building blocks for proteins are amino acids.
Which nucleic acid uses uracil nucleotides as building blocks?
RNA
Nucleotides are the building blocks for?
ATP, NAD+ , and FAD Pg 46
What nucleotides do?
Nucleotides, on their own, don't produce anything. However, they are the building blocks for DNA and RNA, and are thus integral to all of their functions.
