Select the correct option: Refer to the given reactions. (i) Adenine + X$$\rightarrow$$ Adenosine (ii) Adenosine+ Y$$\rightarrow$$ Adenylic acid What does X and Y represent here?
An acid soluble compound formed by phosphorylation of nucleoside is called
A nucleotide has three components – a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar (ribose in case of RNA, and deoxyribose for DNA), and a phosphate group.
A nitrogenous base is linked to the pentose sugar through a N-glycosidic linkage to form a nucleoside, such as adenosine or deoxyadenosine, guanosine or deoxyguanosine, cytidine or deoxycytidine and uridine or deoxythymidine. When a phosphate group is linked to 5' -OH of a nucleoside through phosphoester linkage, a corresponding nucleotide (or deoxynucleotide depending upon the type of sugar present) is formed.
So, the correct option is 'Nucleotide'.
