Answer:
Difference
between a nucleotide and nucleoside is as follows
Nucleoside
Nucleotide
Nucleoside is a compound
formed by the union of the nitrogenous base with a pentose sugar
It is slightly basic in
nature
It is a component of
nucleotide and forms with both ribose and deoxyribose sugars.
e.g., cytidine, uridine,
adenosine, guanosine, thymidine and inosine.
Nucleotide is compound formed
by union of nitrogen base, a pentose sugar and phosphate.
A nucleotide is acidic in
nature
Nucleotide is formed through
phosphorylation ofnucleoside
e.g., AMP, GMP, CMP, UMP,
dTMP (deoxythymidine monophosphate) 0
