A nucleotide is the basic building block of nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA. Each nucleotide consists of three components: a phosphate group, a sugar molecule (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine in DNA; adenine, uracil, cytosine, guanine in RNA). Nucleotides play a crucial role in storing and transferring genetic information and are involved in various cellular processes, including energy transfer and signaling.
