Nucleotides are the monomers of nucleic acids, which are macromolecules that include DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). Each nucleotide consists of three components: a nitrogenous base, a five-carbon sugar (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA), and a phosphate group. Nucleic acids are essential for the storage and transmission of genetic information.
