Answer : A nucleotide is composed of a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base.
Explanation :
Nucleotide : It is a building block of nucleic acids or we can say that it is building block of DNA and RNA.
It is composed of three sub-unit molecules which are a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar and one phosphate group.
Nucleotide forms covalent bonds with other nucleotide for the formation of the nucleic acid strand.
Hence, a nucleotide is composed of a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base.

Answer:
A They are incorporated into molecules of sugar.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is the metabolic process whereby sugar molecules are synthesized by plants in the presence of sunlight (light energy). For this process to occur, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are needed as reactants from external sources. Hence, the photosynthetic equation is as follows:
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
According to this question, the carbon atoms in carbon dioxide are incorporated into sugar molecule (glucose). It takes 6 carbon atoms to produce one glucose molecule (C6H12O6). This process involves series of reaction in the light-independent stage of photosynthesis to occur.
