Answer the following using the structure:a. Is this a purine or pyrimidine? b. Is this a deoxyribonucleotide or a ribonucleotide? c. Indicate the component that changes this from a nucleoside to a nucleotide. This image displays the chemical structure of a nucleotide. ### Components of the Nucleotide Structure:1. **Phosphate Group**: - The phosphate group is represented by a phosphorus atom (P) surrounded by four oxygen atoms (O), where one of the oxygens is connected with a double bond to the phosphorus. The entire group is negatively charged, indicated by the 'O-' symbols.2. **Sugar Molecule**: - A five-membered ring structure consistent with ribose (RNA) with carbon (C) atoms implicitly bonded to hydrogen (H) atoms where each intersection of lines in the pentagon signifies a carbon atom. - Hydroxyl groups (–OH) are attached to the second and third carbon atoms, typical of the ribose sugar found in RNA.3. **Nitrogenous Base**: - The nitrogenous base is a purine, specifically adenine, indicated by the double-ring structure containing carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) atoms. - An amino group (–NH₂) is bonded to the purine ring, which is characteristic of adenine.### Explanation:This nucleotide structure represents adenosine monophosphate (AMP), a building block of RNA. The structure includes:- A phosphate group linked to the 5' carbon of the ribose sugar.- The purine base adenine attached at the 1' carbon of the sugar.This detailed diagram is essential for understanding the composition and function of nucleotides in nucleic acids.

Deoxyribose and ribose are aldopentoses which after phosphorylation form deoxyribonucleotide and…
