Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides. Each nucleotide is composed of a sugar + a phosphate + a nitrogen base. The nitrogenous bases are Adenine which pairs with Thymine and Cytosine which pairs with Guanine.Nucleotide polymers, (chains of nucleotides) are made up of nucleotides linked to the-OH group on the 3' carbon of one nucleotide and the phosphate on the 5' of the following nucleotide.The two chains in a double helix run antiparallel to one another. 8 people found this useful. Answered. nucleotide is a monomer of a nucleic acid consisting of 3 parts.  These 3 parts include a pentose sugar, a phosphate  group, and a nitrogenous base. The nitrogenous bases â¦  include purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (cytosine and  thymine).
Nucleic Acids are biopolymers, or large biomolecules, essential for all known forms of life. 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).
