Dna Rna Atp Similarities Differences Nucleotides Pentose Sugar

This card outlines two similarities (pentose sugar, nitrogenous bases) and two differences (sugar type, phosphate count) between ATP, DNA, and RNA nucleotides.

Similarities: pentose sugar and nitrogenous bases. Differences: deoxyribose vs. ribose, and 3 phosphates vs. 1 phosphate.

Front List 2 similarities and 2 differences between ATP, DNA and RNA nucleotides.
Back Similarities between ATP, DNA and RNA nucleotides:
  • All of them have a pentose sugar in the middle
  • All of them contain nitrogenous bases


Differences between ATP, DNA and RNA nucleotides:
  • DNA pentose sugar is deoxyribose, ATP and RNA contain ribose
  • ATP contains 3 phosphate groups per nucleotide, RNA and DNA contain 1 per nucleotide
