DNA and RNA are examples of...

• proteins
• nucleic acids
• carbohydrates
• lipids

What is the monomer of nucleic acids?

• Glycerol
• Monosaccharides
• Amino Acids
• Nucleotides

What are the components of a nucleotide?

• nitrogen base, phosphate group, and pentose sugar
• pentose sugar, purine, and pyrimidine
• nitrogen base and a phosphate group
• DNA, phosphate group, monosaccharide

RNA contains the sugar...

• Deoxyribose
• Glucose
• Ribose
• Lipids

Which of these is NOT found in RNA?

• ribose sugar

The structure of DNA can be described as a:

• trapeziod
• double helix
• concentric circle
