Question
components of a nucleotide
a nucleotide is made up of a sugar, a phosphate group and a dropdown menu with dna selected; options: atp, adp, nitrogen base, dna
A nucleotide's structure consists of a pentose sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen - containing base (nitrogen base). ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and ADP (adenosine diphosphate) are energy - carrying molecules and not components of a single nucleotide. DNA is a nucleic acid made up of many nucleotides, not a component of a nucleotide. So the correct component is the nitrogen base.
