A nucleoside consists of a nitrogenous base covalently attached to a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) but without the phosphate group. A nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) and one to three phosphate groups.

Nucleotides= Nucleobase (A,C,G,T or U) on 1st anomeric carbon + Sugar backbone (ribose ring) + at least 1 phosphate group
Nucleoside= Nucleobase+ Sugar backbone
Nucleoside= Nucleobase+ Sugar backbone
