Question

What is the difference between a nitrogenous base and a nucleotide?

Answer 1

Answer:

Nucleotide:

A nucleotide is a compound formed by the union of a nitrogen base, nitrogen sugar and phosphate.

A nucleotide is formed through phosphorylation of nucleotide,

A nucleotide is acidic in nature. Example: - Adenylic acid.

Nitrogenous Base

Nitrogenous bases present in the DNA can be grouped into two categories: purines (Adenine (A) and Guanine (G)), and pyrimidine (Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T)).

Answer 2

Answer:

Nitrogenous base

• A single ring pyrimidine or a double ring purine can generate a nitrogenous base. Internally, nitrogen, hydrogen, or oxygen molecules are added to the basic ring to form nitrogenous bases, such as adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine (only in DNA), or uracil (RNA only).

Nucleotide

• The monomer of nucleic acids is the nucleotide. A phosphate group and a nitrogenous base are connected to a pentose sugar in this compound. Nucleotides can have one to three phosphate groups. DNA or RNA can be polymerized to create DNA or RNA, which can be used as an energy source or a signal transducer.
