Vedclass · Answer

(A) In a nucleotide,the phosphate group is attached to the $5'$-carbon of the pentose sugar through a phosphoester bond.This bond is formed by the reaction between the hydroxyl group of the sugar and the phosphoric acid.Note that a phosphodiester bond connects two nucleotides together,whereas the bond between a single phosphate and its sugar is a phosphoester bond.
