Question
adenine and ribose are also components of which macromolecule: nucleic acids lipids carbohydrates proteins rewatch submit
Adenine is a nitrogen - containing base, and ribose is a pentose sugar. Nucleic acids (such as RNA, where the sugar is ribose) are composed of nucleotides. A nucleotide consists of a nitrogen - containing base (e.g., adenine), a pentose sugar (ribose in RNA), and a phosphate group. Lipids are made up of fatty acids and glycerol. Carbohydrates are made of monosaccharides (e.g., glucose, fructose). Proteins are made of amino acids.
