Both DNA and RNA are polymers of Nucleic Acids
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
A nucleotide polymer is a long chain made up of nucleotide units bonded together. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar molecule, and a phosphate group. Nucleotide polymers form the backbone of DNA and RNA molecules.

Put these in order from smallest to largest carbon atom deoxyribose nucleotide DNA?
carbon atom, monomer, macromolecule, and polymer.
What correctly pairs a polymer and monomer?
which polymer is correctly matched with its monomer A}starch-glucose B}maltose-amino acids C}protein-fatty acids D}lipid-sucrose
In the polymerization of DNA a phosphodiester bond is formed between a phosphate group of the nucleotide being added and what of the nucleotide in the polymer?
The phosphate group of the incoming nucleotide joins the 3'-hydroxyl group of the last nucleotide in the growing DNA chain to form a phosphodiester bond.
Which of the following is a polymer a amino acids b monosaccharide c nucleotide d DNA?
DNA is the only polymer in that list. The other 3 options are all individual subunits that could be made into a polymer. Amino acids are the monomers (individual subunits) that up DNA and RNA
Is a nucleic acid a monomer or a polymer?
Nucleic acids are polymers made up of monomeric units called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a phosphate group, a sugar molecule, and a nitrogenous base. Multiple nucleotides linked together form a nucleic acid chain, which can be either DNA or RNA.
What what is a monomer of nucleotide?
A nucleotide is not a polymer, so it has no monomers.
What is nucleic acid a polymer of?
Polynucleotides
Put these in order from smallest to largest carbon atom deoxyribose nucleotide DNA?
carbon atom, monomer, macromolecule, and polymer.
Which is not a monomer a nucleotide an amino acid or a protein?
proteins can be considered to be polymer of amino acids
What correctly pairs a polymer and monomer?
which polymer is correctly matched with its monomer A}starch-glucose B}maltose-amino acids C}protein-fatty acids D}lipid-sucrose
In the polymerization of DNA a phosphodiester bond is formed between a phosphate group of the nucleotide being added and what of the nucleotide in the polymer?
The phosphate group of the incoming nucleotide joins the 3'-hydroxyl group of the last nucleotide in the growing DNA chain to form a phosphodiester bond.
What is the difference from DNA nucleotide and DNA polymer?
A DNA nucleotide is a single building block of DNA, consisting of a sugar molecule (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous bases. DNA polymer is a long chain of DNA nucleotides linked together by phosphodiester bonds. Think of DNA nucleotides as the bricks, and DNA polymer as the wall built from those bricks.
Which of the following is a polymer a amino acids b monosaccharide c nucleotide d DNA?
DNA is the only polymer in that list. The other 3 options are all individual subunits that could be made into a polymer. Amino acids are the monomers (individual subunits) that up DNA and RNA
What is the polymer of dna known as?
The monomer units of DNA are nucleotides, and the polymer is known as a "polynucleotide." Each nucleotide consists of a 5-carbon sugar (deoxyribose), a nitrogen containing base attached to the sugar, and a phosphate group.
What is the job of nucleotide?
A nucleotide is the monomer of a nucleic acid. When many nucleotides go through polymerization, then they create a polymer called a polynucleotide. Which are the building blocks for DNA and RNA.
Is a nucleic acid a monomer or a polymer?
Nucleic acids are polymers made up of monomeric units called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a phosphate group, a sugar molecule, and a nitrogenous base. Multiple nucleotides linked together form a nucleic acid chain, which can be either DNA or RNA.
Which enzyme is responsible for making a polymer of DNA by adding one nucleotide monomer at a time?
DNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for adding nucleotide monomers one at a time to the growing DNA strand during replication.
