Nucleotides are nucleosides that have a phosphate group attached to one or more of the hydroxyl groups of the sugar (ribose or deoxyribose). In short, a nucleotide is a hybrid molecule consisting of a purine or pyrimidine base covalently linked to a five-membered sugar ring which is covalently linked to a phosphate group. While (polymerized) nucleotides are the structural units of a nucleic acid, free nucleotides that are not an integral part of nucleic acids are also found in tissues and play important roles in the cell, e.g., ATP and cyclic AMP.A combination of purine and pyrimidine bases, 5-carbon atom sugar, and phosphoric acid."}
