Nucleotides are the monomer units that make up a DNA molecule. DNA nucleotides are composed of a deoxyribose sugar, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group.


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 organic substance is made up of nucleotides?

DNA and RNA are organic substances that are composed of nucleotides. A nucleotide contains a sugar, a phosphate group, and an organic base.


What are the building blocks of (monomers)of DNA?

The monomers of DNA are nucleotides, which consist of the sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.


3 parts of DNA nucleotides?

Sugar: DNA nucleotides contain a sugar molecule called deoxyribose. Phosphate: Each DNA nucleotide has a phosphate group attached to the sugar molecule. Nitrogenous base: DNA nucleotides contain one of four nitrogenous bases - adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), or guanine (G).


Is a phosphate DNA or RNA?

Both DNA and RNA contain a sugar phosphate group as the backbone to their structure. In DNA the sugar is deoxyribose, where as in RNA it is just ribose.


What are repeating subunits of DNA and RNA called?

The repeating subunits of DNA and RNA are called nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of a phosphate group, a sugar molecule (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA), and a nitrogenous base (Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine in DNA; Uracil replaces Thymine in RNA).
