Monosaccharide
The basic unit of DNA is a nucleotide. It is made up of a phosphate group, a sugar molecule (deoxyribose), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, cytosine, or guanine). These nucleotides combine to form the double helix structure of DNA.
"Deoxy" in DNA refers to the absence of an oxygen molecule in the sugar molecule present in the DNA backbone. This deoxyribose sugar is a key component of each nucleotide unit that makes up the DNA molecule.

They are attached to a deoxyribose sugar.

DNA and RNA are nucleic acids. When broken to the smallest unit it is called a nucleotide. The nucleotide of both DNA and RNA is up of a sugar molecule which is attached to a phosphate group and a base. The bases of DNA are thymine, adenine, guanine, and cytosine. In RNA adenine is replace with uracil while it keeps thymine, guanine, and cytosine. In DNA adenine pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine. In RNA uracil pairs with thymine, and cytosine pairs with guanine.
Monosaccharide
The basic unit of a sugar molecule is a monosaccharide. Examples of monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose.
Monosaccharide
A strong base would rapidly denature a reducing sugar through a nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl group, leading to a quick breakdown of the sugar molecule. In contrast, a weak base would have a slower and less efficient reaction with the reducing sugar, resulting in a milder effect on the sugar molecule.
Three parts of an APT molecule are the base, sugar, and phosphate group. The base can be adenine, guanine, cytosine, or thymine. The sugar is a ribose or deoxyribose molecule, and the phosphate group provides the backbone structure of the molecule.
No, lactose is a disaccharide sugar, not a base. It is composed of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of galactose linked together.
