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 phosphate group is the -O - P - O structure with negative charge. The 5 - carbon sugar is the ring - shaped structure with carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The nitrogenous base is the structure with nitrogen atoms and ring structure.
