Nucleotides are building blocks of nucleic acids. Each nucleotide is a composite molecule formed by:
Correct answer: A. Base sugar phosphate
- A. Base sugar phosphate
- B. Base sugar OH
- C. Bases
- D. Sugar phosphate
Explanation
Each nucleotide consists of three distinct units a phosphate group derived from phosphoric acid, a pentose sugar, and a ring-shaped nitrogenous base. Nucleoside + Phosphoric acid= Nucleotide + H2O

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
