- Nucleotides serving as building blocks for RNA differ from those used for DNA in that _____________________. The nitrogenous bases are attached to the 5’ carbon position of the sugar in RNA nucleotides, whereas in DNA nucleotides, the bases are attached to the 1’ carbon position of the sugar. RNA nucleotides lack phosphates whereas DNA nucleotides contain a phosphate bound at the 5’ carbon position of the sugar. RNA nucleotides only carry pyrimidine bases whereas DNA nucleotides carry either purine or Pyrimidine bases. Thymine bases are used in RNA nucleotides whereas uracil bases are used in DNA nucleotides. RNA nucleotides have an oxygen at the 2’ carbon position of the sugar whereas DNA lacks an oxygen at this same position of the sugar.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not a component of a nucleotide? a monosaccharide a phosphate a disaccharide a basearrow_forwardCells contain two types of nucleic acids: DNA and RNA. Which of the following statements about DNA and RNA is the most accurate? DNA contains uracil whereas RNA contains thymine. All three of the other options are correct. The sugar component of DNA nucleotides contains one less oxygen molecule than is found in the sugar component of RNA nucleotides. Hydrogen bonding can occur between bases in DNA molecules, whereas this does not occur in RNA molecules.arrow_forward

A phosphodiester bond would form between the base of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the second nucleotide. A phosphodiester bond would form between a purine base of one nucleotide and a hydroxyl group of the second nucleotide. A phosphodiester bond would form between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and a hydroxyl group of the second nucleotide.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is not a component of a nucleotide? a base a disaccharide a phosphate a monosaccharidearrow_forward
- You have discovered a new molecule in outer space. You have never seen this type of molecule before on Earth. You analyze the composition and discover that it is made of 28% carbon atoms, 24% oxygen atoms, and 48% hydrogen atoms. You immediately decide that it is not an alien protein or an alien nucleotide. Explain why you know that the molecule cannot be a protein or a nucleotide. Do you think that the molecule is an alien fatty acid or an alien carbohydrate? Explain your decision Will your molecule be hydrophilic or hydrophobic? Explain your answer considering polarity and electronegativityarrow_forwardSelect the one statement that accurately describes the difference between a nucleotide and a nucleoside: Nucleosides are found in DNA, whereas nucleotides are found in RNA Purines are only found in nucleotides. Nucleosides contain only deoxyribose sugars. A nucleotide is a nucleoside with a phosphate ester linked to the sugar. None of the these are correct.
