Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What molecule is a ringed structure with carbon and nitrogen alternating in the ring. It may be a single ring of a double ring?
A
carbohydrate
B
nitrogenous base
C
nucleotide
D
amino acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pyrimidine is a simple aromatic ring composed of two nitrogen atoms and four carbon atoms, with hydrogen atoms attached to each carbon. The carbon and nitrogen atoms are connected via alternating double and single bonds.

Detailed explanation-2: -The primary structure of a purine is two carbon-nitrogen rings. Cytosine, thymine, and uracil are classified as pyrimidines which have a single carbon-nitrogen ring as their primary structure (Figure 1.1. 1). Each of these basic carbon-nitrogen rings has different functional groups attached to it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Single-ring nitrogenous bases are called pyrimidines, while double-ringed structures are called purines.

Detailed explanation-4: -Adenine (A) and Guanine (G) both have a double ring structure and are called purines.

Detailed explanation-5: -Adenine and guanine are a type of nitrogenous base called PURINES and have a DOUBLE ring. This extra carbon/Nitrogen ring makes the molecule larger. When pairing together, purines pair (or match up with) pyrimidines. In DNA, A goes with T and G goes with C.
