desoxyribonucleotide
A desoxyribonucleotide is the basic building block of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. Each desoxyribonucleotide consists of three components: a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. The deoxyribose sugar is a five-carbon sugar that lacks an oxygen atom at the second carbon position, distinguishing it from the ribose sugar found in RNA. The phosphate group is a molecule containing phosphorus and oxygen. The nitrogenous base is a ring structure containing nitrogen, and in DNA, there are four types: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T).
These three components are linked together to form a desoxyribonucleotide. The phosphate group is attached to
