Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The base and the monosaccharide in the given
Concept Introduction:
The two types of nucleotides are DNA and RNA.
There are five common nitrogen-containing bases that are present in nucleic acids; cytosine, uracil, thymine, adenine, and guanine.
In ball-and-stick model each atom has a specific color.
Red − Oxygen atoms.
White − H atoms.
Black − Carbon atoms.
Blue − N atoms.
(b)
Interpretation:
Three- or four-letter abbreviation for the compound needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
To make nucleotides; a phosphate group is added to the 5'-OH of a nucleoside.
Nucleotides are named by adding the term 5'-monophosphate to the name of the nucleoside from whichthey are derived.
Ribonucleotides are derived from ribose. Deoxyribonucleotides arederived from 2-deoxyribose.
