Structural Insights Into DNA, RNA, And Their Monomeric Units

Question 1. Nucleotides and their Functions
Answer:

• Nucleotides are composed of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar, and a phosphate
• They are monomeric units in the nucleic acid

Functions:

• They are building blocks in DNA & RNA str culture
• They are structural components of several coenzymes of the vitamin B complex
• They serve as carriers of high-energy intermediates in the biosynthesis of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids
• They are involved in the energy reactions of the cell
• They control several metabolic reactions by their action as allosteric regulators
• Cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP are the second messengers in hormonal function

Question 2. Types of RNA
Answer:

Types of RNA:
