Nucleic Acids are Polymers Made Up of Which of the Following

Question

Nucleic acids are polymers made up of which of the following monomers?
A)nucleotides
B)sugars
C)amino acids
D)nitrogenous bases
E)deoxyribose

Accepted Answer

Nucleic acids are polymers made up of nucleotides, which consist of a sugar, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group. Sugars and amino acids are monomers of carbohydrates and proteins, respectively. Deoxyribose is a sugar found specifically in DNA nucleotides, and nitrogenous bases are only one component of nucleotides.
