What type of bonds holds the sugar and phosphate groups together?

Phosphodiester bonds hold the sugar and phosphate groups together in DNA and RNA molecules. These bonds form between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the 3'-hydroxyl group of the sugar in the adjacent nucleotide.


Do covalent bonds join DNA sugar phosphate backbones?

Yes, the sugar and phosphate that make up the DNA backbone are joined together with covalent bonds. These bonds are stronger than the hydrogen bonds which join the bases from different strands together.


What types of bonds are present in table sugar?

The type of bonds that are present in table sugar are covalent bonds. Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen comprise these covalent bonds.


What kind of bonds hold together a polysaccharides?

Polysaccharides are held together by glycosidic bonds. These covalent bonds form between the sugar molecules (monosaccharides) in a polysaccharide chain, resulting in a linear or branched structure. The type and arrangement of glycosidic bonds determine the properties and function of the polysaccharide.


Is sugar an example of a covalent compound?

No, sugar is not an example of a covalent compound. Sugar is a type of carbohydrate and is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms held together by covalent bonds.


What holds sugar molecules together?

quite simply, bonds. The strength of these bonds depends on the type of element or compound that forms the solid. These 'particles' you refer to are best known as 'atoms' and the atoms that form a solid are held together by these bonds.


What type of bonds make p DNA and where in DNA do you find these bonds?

The bonds are called hydrogen bonds. You can find these bonds in the nucleotides of DNA.


What type of bonds hold the individual DNA bases together?

If the DNA nitrogenous bases (A&T, G&C) alone, its the Hydrogen bond. Phosphate-Sugar= phosphoester bond Sugar-Nitrogenous bases= Beta N-glycosidic bond Sugar-phosphate-sugar = phosphodiester bond


What type of bond joins the phosphates of ATP?

A high-energy phosphoanhydride bond joins the phosphates of ATP. This bond stores a large amount of energy that can be released when broken through hydrolysis.


What type of bond connects sugars and phosphates?

A phosphodiester bond connects sugars (deoxyribose or ribose) and phosphates in nucleic acids like DNA and RNA. It forms between the 3' carbon of one sugar molecule and the 5' carbon of the adjacent sugar molecule, creating a sugar-phosphate backbone.


What type of bond is formed between sugar molecules?

The kinds of bonds that join molecules with other molecules are called intermolecular bonds. These can be covalent bonds or ionic bonds. These bonds can usually be broken by an increase in thermal energy (temperature), and form when there is a lack of thermal energy.


What type of chemical bond holds together the backbone of a strand of DNA?

Covalent bonds between a sugar molecule (deoxyribose) and a phosphate group make up the backbone of DNA. These are very strong covalent bonds and are broken only with great expenditure of energy--x-rays, for example.
