What are the three main components of a ribonucleotide?

Options

• Deoxyribose sugar, phosphate group, and thymine base

• Glucose, phosphate group, and adenine base

• Ribose sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogenous base

• Pentose sugar, nitrogen atom, and purine base

Answer 1

Each ribonucleotide contains one ribose sugar, one phosphate group, and one nitrogenous base. These three components are essential for forming the basic structural units of RNA molecules that link together through phosphodiester bonds.
