<u><em>The nitrogenous base</em></u> is the central information carrying part of the nucleotide structure. These molecules, which have different exposed functional groups, have differing abilities to interact with each other.
<u><em>The second portion of the nucleotide is the sugar.</em></u> Regardless of the nucleotide, the sugar is always the same. The difference is between DNA and RNA. In DNA, the 5-carbon sugar is deoxyribose, while in RNA, the 5-carbon sugar is ribose. This gives genetic molecules their names; the full name of DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid, and RNA is ribonucleic acid.
<u><em>The last part of nucleotide structure, the phosphate group</em></u>, is probably familiar from another important molecule ATP. Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, is the energy molecule that most life on Earth relies upon to store and transfer energy between reactions. ATP contains three phosphate groups, which can store a lot of energy in their bonds. Unlike ATP, the bonds formed within a nucleotide are known as phosphodiester bonds, because they happen between the phosphate group and the sugar molecule.
<span>An amphibian that lacks lungs and breathes entirely through its skin would have to be smaller than an amphibian with lungs so that the small oxygen intake correlates with
the small surface area of the amphibian. This would then allow it to breath efficiently.</span>
it wasn't just the earthquake that did damage. the magnitude of the quake caused a tsunami to form which hit shore and caused the more catastrophic damage.
