Strictly speaking, "Hydrates of Carbon" pertains to the specific chemical formula of most Carbohydrates which is (CH2O)n. In this regard, what instances can be identified where in this chemical formula has exemptions? a.Lactate which is considered a non-sugar following the formula. b.Acetate which a non-sugar being considered as a sugar molecule. c.Rhamnose being a 5 carbon sugar molecule. d.Lactose in its form and configuration.
Nucleotides
It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The structure of all proteins and ultimately every biomolecule and cellular component is a product of information encoded in the sequence of nucleic acids. Parts of a DNA molecule containing the information needed to synthesize a protein or an RNA are genes. Nucleic acids can store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next, fundamental to any life form.
