Question

Adenosine monophosphate is a

• A. Nucleoside of DNA
• B. Nucleotide of DNA
• C. Nucleoside of RNA
• D. Nucleotide of RNA

Answer 1

The correct option is D Nucleotide of RNA

• The sugars which are present in the nucleotide are ribose or deoxyribose.
• The nitrogenous bases are purines and pyrimidines. The phosphate is present as phosphoric acid. The nucleotide is formed by the union of a phosphate group with a nucleoside.
• AMP is formed by a combination of adenine as a nitrogenous base, a ribose sugar, and phosphate.
• It is found in RNA. It has one single phosphate which is linked to ribose sugar to form phosphoanhydride bond which is a low energy bond.
  

So, the correct answer is option D.
