Question

label this image of a nucleotide. be sure to be specific. 1- and 2- and 3-
1
2
3
nitrogenous base
5-carbon sugar
phosphate

Explanation:

To label the nucleotide parts:

• A nucleotide has three components: phosphate group, 5 - carbon sugar (pentose), and nitrogenous base.
• The circular structure (1) is the phosphate group.
• The pentagonal structure (2) is the 5 - carbon sugar.
• The rectangular structure (3) is the nitrogenous base.

So for each position:

1. Position 1 (circle) matches Phosphate.
2. Position 2 (pentagon) matches 5 - Carbon Sugar.
3. Position 3 (rectangle) matches Nitrogenous Base.

Answer:

1. Phosphate
2. 5 - Carbon Sugar
3. Nitrogenous Base
