Practice drawing the structures of adenine, adenosine, and adenylate.

Nucleotides are made up of a nitrogen-containing base pair, a sugar, and a phosphate group. A nucleoside is a nucleotide molecule that lacks the phosphate group. Purine and pyrimidine are nitrogen-containing base pairs.

Adenylate is a nucleotide that contains the adenine nitrogenous baseand is coupled with the sugar ribose and the phosphate molecule.

Adenine+Ribosesugar+Phosphate=Adenylate

Adenosine is a nucleoside with thenitrogenous base adenine coupled with the sugar ribose.

Adenine+Ribose sugar=Adenosine

Adenine is a nitrogenous purine basewith a double ring structure.

Thus,adenylate is a nucleotide that contains the adenine nitrogenous base and is coupled with the sugar ribose and the phosphate molecule.Adenosine is a nucleoside with thenitrogenous base adenine coupled with the sugar ribose. Adenine is a nitrogenous purine basewith a double ring structure.
