Are nucleic acids polymers of nucleotides?
Yes, they are. Nucleic acid polymeric subunits of ribonucleotides condense to form Rna, while polymeric subunits of 2' [two prime] -deoxy-Rna condense to form Dna. So tough to explain such a small difference between Rna and Dna!
What are subunits making up nucleic acid?
Nucleotides are smaller subunits that make up nucleic acids.
What is the difference between galvanizing and electroplating?
What is the difference between electroplating and galvanising
What is difference between exhaustible and inexhaustible?
what is difference between exhaustible and inexhaustible
What is the difference between inhibitor and activator?
difference between activator and inhibitor
How many different deoxyribonucleotides are there in DNA?
4. (deoxyadenylate, deoxyguanylate, deoxycitidylate, deoxythymidine) << all are ribonucleotides for each base of DNA (ATGC)
What is the difference between a ribonucleotide and a deoxyribonucleotide?
Ribonucleotides have a hydroxyl group on the 2 carbon of their sugar subunit
Subunits that make up polymers?
It's the monomer, the unit that repeats itself along the polymer.
Is tRNA composed or ribonucleotides?
Composed
What does rna have?
RNA have ribonucleotides. Ribonucleotides have ribose sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen bases. The nitrogen bases of RNA are adenine, guanine, cytocine and uracil.
What does RNA have in it?
RNA have ribonucleotides. Ribonucleotides have ribose sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen bases. The nitrogen bases of RNA are adenine, guanine, cytocine and uracil.
What are nucleic acids chains made of?
A phosphate group and a ribose sugar [or deoxyribose sugar] backbone; and a nitrogenous base.
Are nucleic acids polymers of nucleotides?
Yes, they are. Nucleic acid polymeric subunits of ribonucleotides condense to form Rna, while polymeric subunits of 2' [two prime] -deoxy-Rna condense to form Dna. So tough to explain such a small difference between Rna and Dna!
What is DNA polymersse?
an enzyme that helps catalyze in the polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides into a DNA strand.
Is nucleic acid considered a macromolecule?
Yes. Proteins are macromolecules. A macromolecule simply is a larger molecule made of many smaller molecules. There are four types of macromolecules a) Proteins are composed of amino acids b) Carbohydrates are made of sugars c) Nucleic acids are composed of nucleotides. RNA is made of ribonucleotides and DNA is made of Deoxyribonucleotides d) Lipids are made of glycerol linked to one, two or three fatty acids
What is one role that triphosphate deoxyribonucleotides play in a cell?
Triphosphate deoxyribonucleotides form hydrogen bonds with their complements in a DNA parent strand during transcription of the leading strand of DNA. Example Adenine nucleotides bind to thymine nucleotides Guanine nucleotides bind to Cytosine nucleotides
How many nucleotides make up RNA and what are their?
Four different ribonucleotides are present in RNA. They are Uracil, Adenine, Guanine and Cytosine.
