Question
- a molecule contains a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base. what is this monomer? fatty acid carbohydrate nucleotide amino acid
Brief Explanations
A nucleotide is composed of a sugar (either deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA), a phosphate group, and a nitrogen - containing base. Fatty acids are part of lipids. Carbohydrates are made of monosaccharides (simple sugars) without phosphate and nitrogen - base components. Amino acids are the monomers of proteins, which have an amino group, a carboxyl group, and a side chain but not phosphate groups in their basic monomer structure.
