Answer:

The nitrogenous bases <u>Adenine (A), pairs with uracil (U), while guanine (G) and cytosine (C) pair up.</u>

Explanation:

Nucleotides are monomers that make up DNA and RNA- these are nucleic acids that function as storage, transport and messenger molecules for encoding proteins. Nucleotides contain a 5-carbon deoxyribose (with hydroxyl modifications) or ribose sugar (RNA), phosphate and one of four nitrogenous bases:

Adenine (A)

Guanine (G)

Cytosine (C)

Thymine (T).- DNA only

Uracil (U) found in RNA

Nucleotide monomers derive their names from their bases. Nucleic acid polymers form on a single strand through covalent bonding. This occurs between two nucleotides in an esterification reaction where a phosphodiester bond is formed.

Nitrogenous bases encourage hydrogen bonding, and resulting base pair formation.  Adenine (A), pairs with uracil (U), while guanine (G) and cytosine (C) pair up.

ki77a [65]
The part of the phospholipid bilayer that interacts with water would be the hydrophilic portion consisting of the polar phosphate group. The hydrophobic tails which are the fatty acid chains will not interact with the water present in the aqueous environment.
