BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleotides are also named as nucleoside mono, di or triphosphate, based on the number of phosphate groups attached to it, e.g. Adenosine monophosphate (AMP), Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). DNA and RNA only contain nucleotides.

Detailed explanation-2: -Generically, nucleotides are referred to as nucleoside phosphates (NPs), which are further distinguished on the basis of their pentose structure as either ribonucleoside-or 2’-deoxyribonucleoside phosphates.

Detailed explanation-3: -A nucleoside has two parts: a pentagonal sugar (deoxyribose) and a nitrogenous base (in color). When a nucleoside is joined to a phosphate, it is called a nucleotide.

Detailed explanation-4: -DNA is made up of four building blocks called nucleotides: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). The nucleotides attach to each other (A with T, and G with C) to form chemical bonds called base pairs, which connect the two DNA strands.
