Question

I'm currently finishing my last year of highschool in Australia and got really stuck.. The question is as followed Nucleic acids are composed of carbon, hydrogen,oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus. these are the building blocks ofnucleic acids are called nucleotides. each nucleotide is composedof three different kinds og molecules a) name these three molecules b) There are four different kinds ofnucleotides. Name the nucleotides.On what basis are they differentfrom one another I really want to do well in this subject but ihave struggled from the beginning please help!!

Explanation / Answer

a) Each nucleotide has a base made of nitrogen rings, a sugar(ribose or deoxyribose, depending on whether it's RNA or DNA), andphosphate groups. b) In DNA, the four nucleotide types are A, C, T, and G. Theydiffer from one another based on their "bases." These baseshave different arrangements of nitrogen and other atoms in theirrings. These are the nitrogen rings described in part(a). For a better look at the different nucleotide types, youcan refer to the structures listed on the Wikipediapage. Hope that answers your question / let me know if you want furtherexplanation :)
