Question
although dna and rna have different structures, both are polymers made up of many repeating monomer units called nucleotides. each nucleotide is made up of three parts:
- a sugar with five carbons, also called a 5 - carbon sugar
- a phosphorus atom bound to four oxygen atoms, also called a phosphate group
- a nitrogen - containing compound, also called a nitrogenous base
label the parts of the nucleotide.
The nitrogen - containing compound structure is the nitrogenous base. The structure with a phosphorus atom bound to four oxygen atoms is the phosphate group. The 5 - carbon ring structure is the 5 - carbon sugar.
