प्रश्न
What is the difference between a nucleotide and nucleoside? Give two examples of each with their structure.
उत्तर
Living organisms have a number of carbon compounds in which heterocyclic rings can be found. Some of these are nitrogen bases-adenine, guanine, cytosine, uracil and thymine. When found attached to a sugar, they are called nucleosides. If a phosphate group is also found esterified to the sugar they are called nucleotides. Adenosine, guanosine, thymidine, uridine and cytidine are nucleosides. Adenylic acid, thymidylic acid, guanylic acid, uridylic acid and cacodylic acid are nucleotides.
