Which macromolecules have a basic unit that is composed of phosphate sugar ring and one of the five different vases?

The macromolecules that have a basic unit composed of a phosphate, sugar ring, and one of the five different bases are nucleic acids, specifically DNA and RNA. In these molecules, the sugar is either deoxyribose (in DNA) or ribose (in RNA), and the bases can be adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine, or uracil. These components form nucleotides, which are the building blocks of nucleic acids.

How does the structure of fatty acids compare to the basic units found in other macromolecules?

Fatty acids are composed of a hydrophilic carboxylic acid head and a hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail, while basic units in other macromolecules (such as amino acids in proteins, nucleotides in DNA/RNA, and monosaccharides in carbohydrates) have different functional groups and structures specific to their roles in each macromolecule. The differences in functional groups and structure give these basic units unique properties and functions within their respective macromolecules.


What is the basic unit of a nucleic acids?

The basic unit of a nucleic acid is a nucleotide, which consists of a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. These nucleotides link together to form the long chains of DNA or RNA that make up the genetic material in living organisms.
