What are three compounds of a DNA nucleotide?
The three components of DNA are: base, sugar, and phosphate. A molecule of DNA consists of two strands. Each strand is a linear series of nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a base (a purine or pyrimidine), a pentose (five-carbon sugar), and a phosphate group. The sugar is between the base and the phosphate. In a strand, nucleotides are combined through their sugars and phosphates, in such a way that alternating sugars and phosphates form a sugar-phosphate backbone. The bases project at right angles to this backbone.
What are nitrogen bases attached to?
Nitrogen bases are attached to the sugar-phosphate backbone of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA through covalent bonds. These bases form the rungs of the DNA double helix and play a crucial role in carrying genetic information.
Is a nucleotide a phosphate sugar nitrogen base?
In a nucleotide the 5-carbon sugar is bonded to the phosphate group, which is bonded to the nitrogenous base. In a chain of nucleotides (a strand of DNA), the nucleotides are connected by covalent bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide, and the phosphate group of the next nucleotide.
What monomer is made up of a base a sugar and a phosphate group?
The monomer you are referring to is a nucleotide. It consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar (deoxyribose or ribose), and a phosphate group. Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA.
What contains a sugar a base and a phosphate group?
nucleotides that are the building blocks of nucleic acids are made up of sugar, a nitrogen base and phosphate group
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 does nitrogen-containing base mean?
nitrogen-containing
What is subnits of DNA called?
nucleotides. nucleotides are made of a sugar-phosphate backbone and a nitrogen-containing base
What is a makeup of nucleotide?
A 5-carbon sugar called deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous (nitrogen-containing) base.
What is the nitrogen base and sugar in deoxythymidine?
Te base is thymine and te sugar is deoxyribose
What are 3 things a nucleotide is made up of?
the three components that make up a nucleotide are a phosphate,deoxyribose and a nitrogen base
What main things make up and ATP molecule?
nitrogen containing base, 3 phosphate groups and 5 carbon sugar
What does nitrogenous base mean?
nitrogen-containing
What are the three things that make up Atp?
The ATP molecule is composed of three components. At the centre is a sugar molecule, ribose (the same sugar that forms the basis of RNA). Attached to one side of this is a base (a group consisting of linked rings of carbon and nitrogen atoms); in this case the base is adenine. The other side of the sugar is attached to a string of phosphate groups. These phosphates are the key to the activity of ATP.
What are the monomer unit of DNA?
The monomer units of DNA are nucleotides. Each of these consist of a 5-carbon sugar which is deoxyribose, a nitrogen containing base attached to the sugar and a phosphate group.
Region of nucleotide to which the nitrogen base is attached in DNA?
The nucleotide to which the nitrogen base is attached in DNA is the sugar molecule, specifically the deoxyribose sugar. The nitrogen base is attached to the 1' carbon of the deoxyribose sugar through a glycosidic bond.
What nitrogen containing base found in DNA but not in RNA?
Thymine is the nitrogen-containing base found in DNA but not in RNA. In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil.
