Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids are giant biomolecules made of monomers called nucleotides. Nucleotides have three components: pentose sugar (5-carbon sugar), phosphate group, and nitrogenous base.
Detailed explanation-2: -A nucleotide is a monomer that serves as the building blocks for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA). Examples of nucleotides are ribonucleotides or deoxyribonucleotides.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleotides are the monomers of nucleic acids. A monomer is a single molecule that is linked together many times to form a polymer. Nucleic acid polymers are formed by many nucleotide molecules linked together. Each individual nucleotide has a sugar group, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.
