Vedclass · Answer

(A) The given structure consists of a nitrogenous base (Adenine) attached to a pentose sugar (Ribose). $1$. $A$ nucleoside is formed by the combination of a nitrogenous base and a pentose sugar. $2$. The sugar shown in the structure has an $-OH$ group at the $2'$ position,which identifies it as ribose sugar. $3$. Since there is no phosphate group attached,it is not a nucleotide (ribotide or deoxyribotide). $4$. Therefore,the structure represents a nucleoside,specifically Adenosine.
