Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nucleic acids are composed of nucleotides, which consist of a sugar molecule (either ribose or deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine or uracil). Nucleotides are linked together through phosphodiester bonds to form a polynucleotide chain, which serves as the basis for genetic information storage and transmission. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, fatty acids are the building blocks of lipids, and peptides are short chains of amino acids.
