Which structure CANNOT be a nucleotide?

a. a five-carbon sugar attached to a base and at least one phosphoryl group

b. a five-carbon sugar attached to a base and four phosphoryl groups

c. a five-carbon sugar attached to a heterocyclic ring structure and one

phosphoryl group

d. a five-carbon sugar attached to a base and two phosphoryl groups

e. a five-carbon sugar attached to a heterocyclic ring structure and three

phosphoryl groups

Expert Solution

Nucleotide is Nucleoside containing phosphate group/s.

These are organic compounds which possess special Molecular structure.

So option B is the answer which can't be a nucleotide because of presence of 4 Phosphoryl groups.

Hope this helps.

Thank you :)
