each ___ consists of three smaller molecules a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base
The missing word is "nucleotide." Each nucleotide consists of three smaller molecules: a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.
which of the following is a part of a nucleotide
a nitrogen base
b sugar
c acid
d phosphate group
a) nitrogen base
b) sugar
d) phosphate group
All three of these components (nitrogen base, sugar, and phosphate group) are part of a nucleotide. "Acid" is not a component of a nucleotide.
what is the name of the monomer (subunit) that makes up the two complimentary chains of DNA
The monomer or subunit that makes up the two complementary chains of DNA is called a nucleotide. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule (deoxyribose in DNA), a phosphate group, and one of four nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, guanine, or cytosine). These nucleotides are connected together by covalent bonds to form the DNA strands.
what are chains of nucleotides that join together to make a nucleic acid called
a DNA
b polynucleotide
c RNA
d double helix
b) polynucleotide
Chains of nucleotides that join together to make a nucleic acid are called polynucleotides. DNA and RNA are types of nucleic acids, but the term "polynucleotide" refers more generally to the polymer formed by the joining of nucleotides. The DNA molecule often exists as a double helix structure, but double helix is not the term used to describe the chains of nucleotides themselves.
a nucleic that consists of on polynucleotide chain that helps in making proteins in a cell is
a DNA
b rna
c nucleotides
d polynucleotide
b) RNA
RNA (ribonucleic acid) is a nucleic acid that consists of a single polynucleotide chain. RNA is involved in various cellular processes, including the synthesis of proteins. It plays a crucial role in protein synthesis by transferring genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosomes, where protein synthesis takes place.
