What is the backbone of DNA made of?
Phosphates and sugars.
What are three molecules that nitrogen is found in?
amino acids, DNA and RNA, and ATP
What is an example of a sugar phosphate backbone?
This is found both in DNA and Rna.
What is the simple sugar in DNA?
The simple sugar in DNA is deoxyribose, as the name, deoxyribonucleic acid, suggests. Unlike glucose, this sugar contains only 5 carbon atoms.
Which molecule has the most atoms?
Many molecules such as organic molecules have significantly large amounts of atoms such as sugar/sucrose (C12H22O11). Others have more Many molecules such as organic molecules have significantly large amounts of atoms such as sugar/sucrose (C12H22O11). There other molecules such as DNA and polymers that have no size limit and there is no maximum size of a molecule.
What is the name of the sugar found in DNA molecules?
deoxyribose
What sugar is found in DNA molecules that gives it its name?
Deoxyribose/Adenisine Triphosphate :)
The sugar molecules found in DNA nucleotides are?
deoxyribose
What is the name of sugar Molecules in the DNA helix?
Deoxyribose.
What is found in the sides of DNA molecules but not on the rungs?
I belive that would be a Sugar-Phosphate.
What is the name of a sugar found in DNA but not in RNA?
DNA has the deoxyribose sugar, while RNA has the ribose sugar.
What makes of the sides of the ladder of a DNA molecule?
The sides of the DNA ladder are alternating deoxyribose (sugar) molecules and phosphate molecules. The DNA bases attach to the sugar molecules.
What are the bonds found in DNA molecules?
The molecules of the sugar-phosphate backbone in DNA are joined together by covalent bonds (known as phosphodiester bonds).
What makes up the sides of the ladder of a DNA molecule?
The sides of the DNA ladder are alternating deoxyribose (sugar) molecules and phosphate molecules. The DNA bases attach to the sugar molecules.
What is the name of the sugar found in DNA?
Deoxyribose, a monosaccharide, is the sugar found in DNA. The sugar was discovered by Phoebus Levene in 1929, while DNA itself was first identified in 1869 by Friedrich Miescher.
Name two molecules which alternate to make the upright or side portion of a DNA molecule?
The two molecules that alternate to form the backbone of a DNA molecule are deoxyribose sugar and phosphate groups. These molecules form a repeating pattern along the length of the DNA strand, with the nitrogenous bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) attached to the deoxyribose sugar molecules.
Name of sugar found in DNA but not RNA?
deoxyibose
