Concept explainers

Nucleotides
It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) a…

Step 1

Step 1

Glycogen is glucosan homopolysaccharide that is stored in the liver and muscles. Glycogen occurs in the form of small ellipsoid-flattened granules that lie in contact with the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. It is soluble in water and is regularly hydrolyzed to form glucose for use by body cells. The process of glycogen degradation to form glucose is called glycogenolysis.
