The small molecules of carbohydrates are called monosaccharides, such as glucose, fructose, and galactose. These monosaccharides are the building blocks of more complex carbohydrates like disaccharides and polysaccharides.
sugars and phosphates
The sugar-phosphate backbone has the phosphates as the backbone with the ribose sugars as the attachments (connections) to the [C or G or A or T] nucleotides.
Complex sugars or starches are called polysaccharides.
Carbohydrates can be sugars or complex carbohydrates like starches. Simple carbohydrates, such as glucose and fructose, are sugars that provide quick energy, while complex carbohydrates, like bread and pasta, take longer to digest and provide sustained energy.
In DNA, sugars refer to the deoxyribose molecules that make up the backbone of the DNA double helix. These sugars are linked together by phosphate groups, forming the sugar-phosphate backbone of the DNA molecule.
The backbone of the DNA molecule consists of a sugar, deoxyribose and a phosphate group. --(sugars and phosphates)
simple sugars are the sugars that are bad for the body and then the double are the sugars that are twice as bad and takes out more energy during the breakdown of the body . complex sugars are pretty self explanatory . :D Also, simple sugars are sugars that the body can use directly, while complex sugars take along time to be broken down.
The sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA is made up of deoxyribose (a sugar) and phosphate.
Deoxyribose sugars and phosphates make up the backbone of DNA.
A carbon-based molecule is a molecule that contains carbon atoms bonded to other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur. Carbon is a key element in organic compounds, providing the structural backbone for many complex molecules essential for life. Examples include sugars, fats, proteins, and DNA.
a. sugars ur welcome :) i have the same h.w. as you
Phosphates and sugars.
The kind of sugars that nucleotides contain is the five carbon ring structure.
Carbohydrate type molecules can be divided into two chief sub-classifications. These are simple and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are sugars, and complex can be healthy starches as found in vegetables.
You'd best be trollin'. But in all seriousness, sugars ARE carbs.
