Nucleic acids, which include DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid), are made from monomers known as nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three components: a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.If the sugar is deoxyribose, the polymer is DNA.If the sugar is ribose, the polymer is RNA.When sugar and a nitrogenous base get combined they form a nucleotide. Nucleotides are also known as phosphate nucleotides. Nucleic acids are among the most important biological macromolecules (others being amino acids/proteins, sugars/carbohydrates, and lipids/fats).f the sugar is ribose, the polymer is RNA. When sugar and a nitrogenous base get combined they form a nucleotide. Nucleotides are also known as phosphate nucleotides. Nucleic acids are among the most important biological macromolecules (others being amino acids/proteins, sugars/carbohydrates, and lipids/fats).
Proteins. Like nucleic acids, proteins are polymers. While with nucleic acids the repeating unit is the nucleotide, with proteins, the analogous repeating unit is the amino acid.Amino acids consist of a central carbon which carries an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen, and a side chain group. Amino acids are distinguished by the properties of their side chains. protein's state of ionization depends on the nature of its amino acids and the chemical environment. In neutral, aqueous solution (pH = 7), a protein with a preponderance of basic amino acids, lysine, arginine, or histidine, will have an overall positive charge.
