The sugar is either the 5-carbon sugar ribose or its close cousin, deoxyribose (the “deoxy” refers to a “missing” hydroxyl group on the 2-carbon, which has an H instead). The attached nitrogenous base can be a purine, which is a 6-member ring fused to a 5-member ring, or a pyrimidine, which is a single 6-membered ring.

The phosphate residue is attached to the hydroxyl group of the 5′ carbon of one sugar and the hydroxyl group of the 3′ carbon of the sugar of the next nucleotide, which forms a 5′–3′ phosphodiester linkage (a specific type of covalent bond).

Combined, these molecules make up the majority of a cell’s mass. Biological macromolecules are organic, meaning that they contain carbon (with some exceptions, like carbon dioxide).
