Question

although dna and rna have different structures, both are polymers made up of many repeating monomer units called nucleotides. each nucleotide is made up of three parts:

• a sugar with five carbons, also called a 5 - carbon sugar
• a phosphorus atom bound to four oxygen atoms, also called a phosphate group
• a nitrogen - containing compound, also called a nitrogenous base

label the parts of the nucleotide.

Explanation:

The nitrogen - containing compound structure is the nitrogenous base. The structure with a phosphorus atom bound to four oxygen atoms is the phosphate group. The 5 - carbon ring structure is the 5 - carbon sugar.

Answer:

The top right label is nitrogenous base. The left - most label is phosphate group. The bottom label is 5 - carbon sugar.
