DNA and RNA are polymers composed of nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of a 5-carbon sugar, a nitrogen base, and a phosphate group covalently bonded together. The 5-carbon sugar in a DNA nucleotide is deoxyribose, and the 5-carbon sugar in RNA is ribose.
The single units of polymers such as proteins, starch and DNA are called monomers.
The sub-units or monomers for nucleic acids are nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a phosphate group, a sugar molecule (either ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine, or uracil).
Both Dna and RNA are made of nucleotides. RNA comes in tRNA, mRNA and rRNA forms as as well.
No. The sub-units for carbohydrates is a monosaccharide such as glucose or fructose. Fatty acids are what results from the sub-unit aliphatic compounds and glycerol.
No, DNA is not made up of cells. DNA is a molecule that contains the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all living organisms. Cells are the structural and functional units of living organisms that contain DNA.
Each subunit is called a nucleotide. They have a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a nucleobase
Proteins provide building blocks for the structural components of organisms.
Molecules. DNA is a big molecule made by smaller molecules. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA
A chromosome is made up of DNA, which has subunits called nucleotides.
DNA is not made up out of 2, but 4 repeating units. These repeating units, nucleotides, being Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine.
The single units of polymers such as proteins, starch and DNA are called monomers.
Genes are the units of heredity, and are made up of segments of DNA
DNA consists of two long polymers of simple units called nucleotides, with backbones made of sugars and phosphate.
The sub-units or monomers for nucleic acids are nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a phosphate group, a sugar molecule (either ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine, or uracil).
Both Dna and RNA are made of nucleotides. RNA comes in tRNA, mRNA and rRNA forms as as well.
Sugars
DNA is a very large molecule, made up of smaller units called nucleotides that are strung together in a row. DNA contains sugar, phosphate, and nucleotide
