Which moieties of nucleosides are involved in the formation of phosphodiester linkages present in dinucleotides? What does the word 'diester' in the name of linkage indicate? Which acid is involved in the formation of this linkage?

(N/A) In a nucleoside,a nitrogenous base is linked to the $1^{\prime}$ position of a pentose sugar. When a phosphoric acid molecule is attached to the $5^{\prime}$ position of the sugar moiety,a nucleotide is formed. $A$ phosphodiester linkage is formed between the $3^{\prime}$ carbon of one nucleotide and the $5^{\prime}$ carbon of another nucleotide through a phosphate group. The term 'diester' indicates that the phosphate group forms two ester linkages: one with the $3^{\prime}$ hydroxyl group of one sugar and another with the $5^{\prime}$ hydroxyl group of the adjacent sugar. The acid involved in the formation of this linkage is phosphoric acid $(H_3PO_4)$.
