Ribose sugar, base and phosphate group

Each nucleotide in RNA contains a ribose sugar, with carbons numbered 1' through 5'.

A base is attached to the 1' position, in general, adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), or uracil (U). Adenine and guanine are purines, cytosine, and uracil are pyrimidines.

A phosphate group is attached to the 3' position of one ribose and the 5' position of the next. The phosphate groups have a negative charge each at physiological pH, making RNA a charged molecule (polyanion).

These are nucleotides. They are composed of a 5-carbon sugar (deoxyribose in DNA, ribose in RNA), a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine in DNA; adenine, uracil, cytosine, guanine in RNA), and a phosphate group. Nucleotides are the monomers that make up the DNA and RNA polymers.
