The difference between a ribonucleotide and a deoxyribonucleotide is: a. Ribonucleotides have a hydroxyl group on the 2 carbons of their sugar sub-unit.

Ribonucleotides is the basic unit of a ribonucleic acid (RNA). It basically comprises a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base that is referred to as ribose sugar. Also, its nitrogenous base includes the following components:

Adenine (A).Guanine (G).Cytosine (C).Uracil (U).

On the other hand, deoxyribonucleotides is the basic unit of a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). It basically comprises a nitrogenous base and phosphate group that is referred to as deoxyribose sugar. Also, its nitrogenous base includes the following components:

Adenine (A).Guanine (G).Cytosine (C).Thymine (T).

Hence, the pentose sugar component (ribose and deoxyribose sugar) is one of the differences between a ribonucleotide and a deoxyribonucleotide.

Generally, the molecule which is found on the 2 carbons of ribonucleotides is a hydroxyl group (OH atom) while deoxyribonucleotides have a hydrogen atom (H atom) on the 2 carbons of their sugar subunit.

Answer from: christyr2002

The answer to your question is: letter A

Explanation:

a. Ribonucleotides have a hydroxyl group on the 2 carbons of their sugar sub-unit. This is the main difference between Ribonucleotides and deoxyribonucleotides, the first have hydroxyl group in carbon number two, while the second have a hydrogen.

b. Ribonucleotides contain a phosphate group.

c. Ribonucleotides have a hydrogen atom on the 1 carbon of their sugar sub-unit.

d. Ribonucleotides contain a sugar with five carbon atoms.

Answer from: Quest

answer: $2c_5h_5+1fe\rightarrow 1fe(c_5h_5)_2$

the reaction is type of combination reaction.

explanation:

$? c_5h_5+? fe\rightarrow ? fe(c_5h_5)_2$

on the product side, there are 2 molecules of $c_5h_5$ bonded to fe which means one atom of fe are combined two molecules of $c_5h_5$ . so, balanced chemical equation becomes :

$2c_5h_5+1fe\rightarrow 1fe(c_5h_5)_2$

this reaction follows the reaction type of combination reaction. a combination reaction is defined as chemical reaction in which reactants combines together to form a single product.

$a+b\rightarrow ab$
